My Sweet DaVinci loves the Moon…

My sweet DaVinci is in love with the moon.
His Nana showed him the Super Moon this morning around 3am (we were getting ready for the garage sale) and he swooned over the moon for the rest of the morning. 
He kept saying “Mooooooooon” until he feel back to sleep.
When he woke up again he kept saying “Mommy Moon?” as if he was asking where she was.
These moments with my son remind me how blessed I am to have him in my life.
He is an absolute gem. He is at that awesome age where everything is new and exciting to him. He cherishes every moment and every experience. He is an amazing little boy and I am one happy mama. 
Here are some photos of him showing his Nana where the Mooooooon is!
Enjoy this lovely Tuesday.

Diamond in the Ruff

On this lovely Saturday in Rural Minnesota my mother and I are busy getting ready for a yard sale. I am getting rid of clutter and working on cleansing the junk out of my life. I have to admit I am a bit of a pack rat, always have been. I went through my closet and if I haven’t worn an item for the past year then it is up for sale. We worked all night and took a break at about 9am this morning.
We ended up taking a mini road trip to Minneota, Mn which is a small town near my hometown with the cutest boutique that is connected to an Ace hardware Store.
This place is a jem. They have clothes, vintage treasures and hardware. Seriously everything I love! We found lots of goodies that were up to 75% off but the part that I found the most fascinating is this store has a fully restored beautiful antique cash register sitting on the front counter.
I spoke with the gentleman, Dave of Minneota, who did the restoration of the beautiful piece.

He informed me he took the entire machine apart, researched about it, and then put it fully back together. He told me that the soul purpose of the cash register back in the day was to prevent employee theft! The “dinging” noise that happens when the till opens is to notify the manager someone is in the till. It was very fascinating talking with Dave about his treasure.

If your in rural Minnesota check out The Arched Door – Gislason’s Hardware in Minneota, Mn it’s purely magical!

Thanks Dave and the lovely ladies of The Arched Door for showing us a great time at their beauty of a shoppe.
