Snow is a Four Letter Word

S-slushy
N-nasty
O-over-the-top
W-wet

Is anyone with me out there? Okay, it is beautiful and makes the world soft and quiet. Yes, there is something magical about walking in a woods that has been silenced by deep snow. But it is also very wet, very, very cold, dangerous on the roads and did I say it's cold? It's not really the snow that I despise. Its the whole cold thing. Winter is not my scene. I have southern roots and can't understand for the life of me why my relatives would have chosen, yes CHOSEN, to move to a cold climate. I was born here-had no choice.

There are certain things that I do enjoy about winter and here are a few of them:

Crackling fire

Hot cocoa

The sound of snow under my tires

Tree branches frosted with snow

Cute snowmen with very fashionable accessories

Did any of you brave black Friday? I was one of those very silly woman that started at 4:00 am. You heard me right I got up and went shopping at 4:00 am. It was my nieces fault. She insisted that we start early enough to get a free Victoria Secret bag. I said do you really think they Will be out by the respectable time of 9:00 am?

To my surprise the store was packed at 4:00 am along with several other stores. We passed a few large department stores with lines circling around the buildings and no parking spaces to be had. This is in Michigan, the unemployment capital of the USA. Maybe the media has it all wrong. I heard that sales were up everywhere but somehow the media failed to make a big deal of that.

It was fun and I did survive without a nap, just lots of caffeine.

Have yourself a beautiful snow covered day or sun shiny day depending on where you live.

Sneak Peek

Took a little road trip today in order to bring you a fresh scoop for "Show and Tell Sunday" on my fav shopping haunts in Michigan. This is just a little tease the real full feature post will be next Sunday May 4th. Now, you know I'm not going to show you anything very revealing and trust me I do have some good stuff. You are defiantly going to want to tune in next Sunday. Here is a hint of where I shop. It has to do with a very big lake, it is west of me, and a mecca for art.


Sheena the ship maiden or queen. Isn't she awesome? Yes, she is for sale. I did buy a few things but you will just have to wait to see them.
Grapes anyone? The next shop is my fav.

Here is a sneak peek at what I saw and captured for you. These places are not your typical antique/art shops, no ma'am, they offer so much more. So unique that it was worth 4 hours of driving for me and MR. Mya to bring them to you. Well at least it was worth it to me, MR. Mya would rather have watched sports and taken a snooze. That's okay I am very glad to get him out and culture him a little.

Just look at these wonderful guardians of my very favorite place to browse. They look so attentive sitting up on a high shelf with the perfect view of the main shop. If you've seen this place you know that it is defiantly worth protecting. I am sorry but I won't give up any more you are just going to have to wait. Even though it is usually me that just can't wait to give someone their present or secretly unwrap mine. See you next sunday. You won't need your purse, just grab a cup of joe or whatever your pleasure and sit back and drool.
