hangin' out at Dar's...

well, i've been here in WV since Tuesday afternoon and am having a fun, relaxing time w/ my friend, Dar and her family. Dar has such a peaceful, inviting home...makes you want to stay.

we went to Nitro yesterday, hunting around a few antique shops...today we plan to head to Charleston to do more antique/vintage shopping. i am on the 'look-out' for:

-vintage buttons
-shadow box figurines
-frames i can paint and shabby up
-vintage aprons
-blue mason jars
-vintage assorted plates

...and anything else that catches my eye.

Dar has adopted her daughter's cat, Indie. Indie is a sweet and pretty cat, who looks like he's wearing 'guy liner' and likes to play with bouncy balls and hang out in the sunroom, spying on the vermon and birds.

Cody has gotten taller and is still a wonderful 'dude'. I am amazed at how respectful he has become...they've done a good job with him. I am sure he's the hunk at his school, but he wouldn't admit it.

Dar showed me some of her vintage jewelry creations and I had to buy a few...she has a 'magic touch' when it comes to all things creative. You just have to see her stuff on her Etsy site: DARVAHLOUS

OK...more from West Virginia later.

peace out
