Just what a busy mom needs during the summer months. I gave myself a time-out yesterday and stole some time wandering a favorite Minneapolis antiques store, Hunt & Gather on Xerxes Avenue.
I highly recommend it.
Nothing recharges my battery, so to speak, like wandering an antiques store.
Guess what? I only spent $9.40!
On what you ask?
I bought some of the old sign letters pictured above for the corkboard in my kitchen. The letters I bought spell out "Be Kind".......Later I realized that the reason I bought the "Be Kind" letters was to remind my children to be kind to one another....exactly the reason I needed my time-out in the first place.

ReplyDeleteOoh I love those old sign numbers.

I need that for my four children too, and for me to remember why I love them. It is good to get a breather everynow and again. I can find that it only takes an hour or so...more if time allows.
ReplyDeleteHi Jill....!!
ReplyDeleteGLAD to hear you enjoyed some YOU TIME....!!
Hunt & Gather looks AWESOME....I'll be visiting them for sure when I hit town for the Junk Bonanza....WOOHOO....!
Cheers,

Looks like my kind of place! That bowl full of rubber stamps and the chairs in the last pic are especially intriguing but, I have to say, I'd have probably come home with letters too. Love the letters you chose-and the reason. Have your kids rearranged them yet to spell other words? That's what mine would have done! And sent the lesson I was trying to teach right down the drain!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a dream store!

My daughter and I just got back from a mini junk jaunt in Minneapolis and went to Hunt & Gather. That store knocked my socks (I mean flip flops) off! Why is it when I see a bunch of letters I can never think of anything to say? But I still bought a few (dozen)!
ReplyDeleteI love old numbers & letters! Well really I love lots of old things:)
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds!!
