This and That

Get ready for some randomness.....

After a work meeting on Friday, my coworker and I headed to the Brass Armadillo in Des Moines, since he had some more things to add to his little sale area.  {Plus, we were about 5 miles from it.} 

This was my first time there.
 I have driven by this place I don't know how many times, but never stopped.
I don't know if I'll go back.  Prices are outrageous.
Well, not all.  But the things I liked, ridiculous!
Go figure.
 

I did spy this....


Growing up, this same canister set could be seen on the kitchen counter at the farm!
Who knew someone would now charge about $40 for all the pieces.
Too bad mom took her set to Good Will!




For some reason, it seems that most of this snow has already melted!  :(


I feel like I am one of only a few people who actually like/appreciate the snow.
I wish we had more.  :)



When mom and dad visited for my birthday,
I also got this treat.


And I ate them all!  They were delicious.  
I might have had 1 or 3 for breakfast at some point in time as well.  :)



I joined a new bandwagon.

'Turn a Canning Jar into a Travel Mug.'

On my way to Perry today for work, I had a jar with orange and pomegranet juice in it.
Once I drank that, I replaced it with water.
At lunch time, I moved the lid over to a different jar I had filled with milk.
Now that lunch is over, I moved it back to the water jar.


I love and have about a dozen drinking jars with handles. 
Unfortunately, the lid is for the widemouth jars only.  
So no fun travel jar with a handle on it for me.
Just the plain 'ol widemouth Ball jar.
But it is still fun!


Now how was that for some randomness?  

:)

Tomorrow afternoon, I'll be making my way across the Mighty Mississippi to visit my sister and niece/nephews....and my weekend begins!
