Was Sleepy And Hollow

We also have a new favorite antique emporium, but not so much for the potential treasures but more the building they're encased in. Laura & I wax poetic often about buying an old barn type building and refinishing it into our living quarters. No matter how wacky it sounds, you'd have to admit this place is cool.

We stopped by for the first time one morning a couple weeks back when the congenial owner Ginger gave us the story of the place and a heads up on upcoming events, one being the fall festival on this particular weekend. I think we were the first ones there.

First ones to lay eyes on some of these nifty pieces.

Yuula liked him. We thought, for her nursery?

We wandered thru the rooms, all built with oversized beams and trusses, letting Yuula gander at all the goodies, testing her capacity for containment. Mostly she just wanted to climb the stairs.

Kenny was impressed.

Laura ended up finding a few planters she dug and got a good deal on them. I found the free snacks in the front room and managed to get Ginger to divulge her secret pumpkin dip recipe. Yuula liked it, it's for Yuula.

As part of the fall festivities Ginger had set out a pumpkin decorating station for the kiddies and since Yuula was the first kiddie, she got her pick o' the litter.

She doesn't quite understand the concept of markers yet, but she had fun!

On the way to the car Yuula's energy spiked and we took her for a run in the field to try and wear her out. Not sure if it worked.
