I Like You...




This has gotta be one of the cutest stores in the Twin Cities. All local indie designed products, After a great breakfast, Jud and I took his sister, Jan over for a quick shop before she left town. I had to practically twist her arm off to get her a belated birthday present but she finally let me buy her a mosaic switch plate. 


I am blessed with the greatest sister-in-laws. Here's Jan and I posing under a new giant stuffy. So cute!


Jud and Jan are ten years apart and have become closer and closer over the years. One of the gifts of Jud's cancer has been having Jan visit us a couple of times. She is so easy to have around and always is looking for something to do...walk the dogs, sweep the roof (!), work in the garden... 

Jan is truly a sister to me. 

We both love her dearly.

  5. The store looks like so much fun...it's great when family visits, isn't it? The older I get, the more time spent with family is important. It's hard that our kids and my only sister are not close by. Are you journaling? You've been doing so much "living" in these past months...oh wait, that's why you have a blog. Never mind....hahahaha!
    Hugs and prayers always, Suz!

  8. Suz........I hope you get that root canal today and hopefully on the road to feeling better! So sorry friend!

    Those little red shoes are on a doll I made a long time ago, and she sits on a little bench when you first walk into my studio/room. Thanks for asking about them.

  9. There is nothing better than a great family and the ability to see the bright side when dealt a blow. It seems you are blessed with both things. Thank you for visiting and for the sweet comment. Its a pleasure to meet you.

  11. I've been to that store too (see a pic of the outside of their building on my sidebar)! Everything there is too, too cute and I'm glad you took someone there who appreciates their handmade goodness!
