Record Case
As a teenager I had one of these.
It was so handy.  Just put the 45's
you wanted to take to a party in it
and off you'd go.
My Friends had them too.
I have 2 vintage ones in the shop.
This pink one and a baby blue one.

now in the shop.

Have you noticed in all the decorating magazines that Globes are in right now?

If you like them come on in and see the ones we have.  I think there are at least 3 or 4.

Also hot are old clocks (working or not) and birdcages.  This charming arrangement is in booth # 7

Early Fall?
According to this tree with its leaves turning in the
Niles Park it is. 
 
 Guess we'll be thinking about
Fall decorating in the shop soon.

It's in the store and still one of my favorite color combos.

This is along the Niles Creek where I walk.
They are cement buildings that I'm sure
belong to the Water Dist. 
Each one has
been painted on all sides with some
really cool murals.
If you want to see them go to Third Street and
walk through the park to the pathway that
follows the creek and start
walking right.

I've been looking at old posts and here is a recipe from
Oct. 25th. 2008  I used to make these all the time.
Trust me.  These are really good and really easy.

Apple Dewies

2 cans refr. crescent rolls
2 large apples
1.5 stick butter
1.5 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. cinnamon
6 oz. Mt.Dew beverage
Peel and cut the apples into wedges.
Roll each wedge into a crescent dough triangle.
Arrange in a greased 9x13 dish.
Melt butter and add sugar. Don't stir too much.
Add vanilla.
Pour over apple crescents.
Sprinkle cinnamon and 1 tsp. sugar over top.
Pour Mt. Dew between apple crescents.
Bake @ 350 for 35-40 min.
It will seem soupy. It's supposed to!
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. Drizzle 'soupy stuff'
over both.

When I went to the Gift Show in Las Vegas this year
I got several cute bags that different companies were giving away.
This one is super cute.

Make a purchase and get in the drawing.
It will have a Gift Certificate with it too.

Pink in the other window
It's pretty hard to take pictures of the store front windows.
Lots of reflections.  See the Palm Tree across the street in the Plaza?
I kind of like it.

another to decorate her babies room.

Any way you use them
they are  just FUN!

Happy AUGUST 1st!
 
Here is a picture of a tree in the Niles Park on 2nd street. 
Looks like fall, but it can't be!  It way too early for that.
 
 
 A few things I put in the front window yesterday.
The bird looks like he belongs in the tree at the park.
As you can probably guess this window has a lot of yellow
