Well, still reeling after not winning the Farm Chicks giveaway.....I needed to get my mind back to collecting for the fall Junk Bonanza !
It's "garage sale" season in Minnesota, so each week, I scan the papers for ads, to find the best ones. The past two weeks, I have found a couple great sales, and one good auction... a sneak peak of some goodies !
Ok, here are the top 10 reasons I NEED to be picked for the Farm Chicks giveway :
I just know that Serena is my long lost sister !
I AM a DEFINATE Minnesota Farm Chick !
My family thinks that I should definately be the one to win this :)
My name is Celeste (Serena has a friend named Celeste)
This trip to me would be better than a trip to Hawaii ! Seriously !
I eat , live and breath Farm Chick style !
I have the Farm Chicks cookbook and need it signed :)
I have never been to Washington !
I have a reputation in my small town, as a girl with some of the funnest "junk"!
I am debuting my "wares" at the Junk Bonanza this year and need some wonderful "Farm Chicks" inspiration !
So this is my humble plea to be picked for the giveaway...I will be anxiously waiting by my computer to see the winner unveiled and will hope and pray it's little old me . Thank you, Celeste at Vintage Ivy
So this morning, my six year old , was as usual the first one down stairs to eat breakfast, ahead of the rest of us. My hubby had already left at his usual time. As I came down the stairs, I heard her singing about a Cupola........alittle strange .....and then she was talking to someone...(which isn't unusual for a six year old ).... As I came around the corner of the kitchen , she was definately having a conversation ! I was alittle scared that someone was in the driveway, so I said "who the heck are you talking to ?" !!! She gave me a look and said "Ah, daddy, ...he's gonna sell a cupola " !..... Well, in any other family, that would be a weird conversation to have with a six year old at 7 in the morning, but not here :) My hubby WAS outside, and he was excited to tell me to look in the driveway .....so I did, and there it was, a very large beautiful old cupola ! "It was laying in the middle of the freeway, on my way to work!!" What luck ! We get excited about such things ! Strange? Not really ! So this fabulous piece will make a great addition to my Junk Bonanza booth ! It's so pretty !
About us: We are the "Nelsons"...we are a very close knit bunch of 5 ! We are a bit crazy, we are adventurous, we like to be spontaneous! We are christians, husband, wife, mom,dad, and daughters! We have had ups and downs, but as we grow we grow closer....life in the Nelson house is a journey, you never know whats around the corner, and if you can realize that "the plan" is not yours, things will sail along just as they are supposed to :) Life is hectic, sometimes pressures can be overwhelming for all of us, but we try hard to enjoy simple things....like fishing! But these girls are serious about it! Especially my two oldest, Ana and Olivia....Claire on the other hand doesn't really care to fish, but would rather be the "go to girl" for taking the fish off the hook, and letting them back to nature! It's not just about fishing, it's about life!
