Wyoming

Today is one of the few precious days I haven't been insanely busy lately. Of course I'm going to a solstice even tonight for a couple hours, but it feels so good to not be busy busy busy. I thought I'd break the silence around here with some badass Wyoming pictures.



Felix was terrified of this stuffed bear. I had to stand with him, and I think you can see how badly he wanted to get away by the look on his face!



Romantic smooching at Mile High Pizza Pie in Jackson, WY.



I bought Felix the bear hat of his dreams!



Fambly photo by the river, Tetons in the background. We had to stress how important it was for Felix to not step off that dock into the deep roaring river!





See that speck over by the trees? It's about a third of the photo over from the right? That's a grizzly bear folks! Sorry I don't have a fancy telephoto lens, but I was wicked excited about my first wild bear sighting!!



Lady elk, life and limb risked by Chainsaw to take this photo.



Old Faithful!







All that hot steam is no good for foxy straight bangs.



I haven't even started with the picture on my personal camera. These are all from the fancy pants soul taker!

I should be getting back to creating today- or at the very least getting my creation station set back up after Friday's game night party. Oy!!

New Treasures (previously known as "other people's junk")

Rummage Sale Treasures



Adorable, possibly never been used tea set. I think Pheobe from Friends had a mug like this!



Pancake Set!



Vintage Spools



Vintage buttons and a whole bag of nice embroidery floss.



Super nice Xacto knife set.

These prizes are from a consignment store:



Pyrex butter dish! My cat licks the butter if it isn't covered. I was so excited to find this!



Vintage Wristlet



Vintage purse. This one has one of those frames in it that opens when you push the sides in. It's pretty cool!



Vintage stationary set with lady bugs.



Belts



Metal dish

This isn't everything by any means, just a few things. I'll get some photos of the rest of my scores sometime soon! I also hope to be opening Hot Butter Vintage in the next two weeks.

Have a great weekend!

Trip to South Dakota Part One

A few pictures of our trip







Felix in a tractor with stranger at a storage unit rummage sale! We like to rely on the kindness of stranger farmers for tractor access.



The back of Kris's Jeep after a long morning of rummaging.



Playing Keno with Kennasty Dale. We lost.







Hidden danger of curly hair and bangs: Hot dancing action makes me sweat, which makes my bangs wet, which makes them get curly, which made this really hot guy with a mullet refuse to speak to me. I put my best moves on him and only got the twinkle of his gold earring as a reply.

Part two coming soon! I'm doing a smidge of a Hot Butter break. I just had that trip, and now this weekend I'm leaving to spend some time with my family. I'm going to do my best to keep blogging, even if I'm not actively creating.

Anywho, rummage sale bounty plus more in my next post.

Lost Lake

We went on a mountainous hiking adventure on Monday.







Boys with their sticks.





I was wearing sunglasses most of the time. Usually sunglasses give me a headache, but these garage sale glasses turn the world a magic color. My attempt to share the wonder:



Yes, I shot it through my sunglasses.



A good portion of our hike was through this cold white stuff or it's brother, cold melted snow water. The snow was heavy and wet, so there were many slips and occasional breaks through the crust into the freezing water underneath.





At long last we reached our goal, Lost Lake.





Yes, part of the lake is still icy on top.



I would love to go on this hike again in a month or so, when the snow is melted and the sun is hotter, which would make that cold mountain lake water feel really good!

Felix and I are going to go visit family in South Dakota tomorrow. I'll try to keep up here while I'm gone, but I can't make promises. I hope you're having a great week!
