we interrupt our regularly scheduled....



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.

  2. Ooh I love those old sign numbers.
    Be Kind will be a great reminder to everyone who reads it.

  3. 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.

  5. 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!

  7. 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)!
