I have a new friend, her name is Janis. Janis has a lovely blog...
Grams... She has lots of kids and lots of
grand kids and she and I have a lot in common. (Husbands with the exact same birthday and our wedding anniversary is 1 year and 1 day apart.) Just to name a few. The best thing is she just lives 10 minutes north of Mimi's Cottage. I love the letters she cuts and decorates herself and so I bought a set of the LOVE letters and she delivered them to me. It was so fun meeting her. She brought them to me all wrapped up cute like and even threw in a jar of her delightful bean dip.


Cute heart made from scrap book paper and hung on the LOVE letter bag.

Well, Janis was kind enough to invite me on a little field trip. So, a couple days later, we were on our way to the big city. Janis brought along her best friend, Sue, who is as cute as Janis. Sue made me this darling treat...decorated paper clips and M and M's. Sue doesn't have a blog but she really should. If I can do it, she can do it.

Anyway, they took me to this fabulous junkyard. For you
Utahns it's on 900 S and 400 E in Salt Lake City. It had piles and piles of junk, er,
architectural salvage Outside...


And inside a big barn...

Doors, windows, cabinets, light fixtures, sinks, claw foot bathtubs, door knobs, hinges, signs, trim, you name it, they had it.


It was so much fun. I'll show you what I bought next week.
