A Few Things To Share As The New Week Begins!

My daughter posted this on Facebook about me lol!!!!!!!

I live with a bunch of comedians!!!!!

We not only had Charlotte's Baptism on Saturday it was also  Grandparents Day.
On the left is my mom seated and then granddaughter Abby big sister to Charlotte.  Terry's mom and dad.  It was special because Terry's Dad is a Deacon in the Catholic Church and baptized Charlotte his great granddaughter.  Made the Baptism even more special.
Nice to have grandparents and great grandparents all together to celebrate the Baptism and Grandparents Day.

Ok now on to a fun new Shop.

Morris,  the cute town I talk about with sweet shops has one called Vintage.   Vintage is one of my faves.  When we arrived I notice the shop was cleared out and gone.  I thought "oh no this can't be"!!!  I asked in some of the other shops about what might have happened to Vintage?  They said she had major problems with the landlords and had to move out quickly but they said she opened up in a new shop called Ugly Duckling in New Lenox.  I did the happy dance since I live in New Lenox.

The grand opening was yesterday for Ugly Duckling.

With Charlotte's Baptism I could not make the grand opening and went on Sunday.

  Kathleen is the owner of Ugly Duckling and so sweet she allowed me to take some pics to share with all of you.  She has a few vendors inside the shop along with her beautiful pieces.  Vintage  being one of the new vendors.

Ugly Duckling will be a pop up shop and open on occasion and every other week end.  

  You will see as you stroll through my pics how fabulous this shop is.

Charming building.

Junk and Disorderly!!!! Love this vendors name and her great treasures for sale.

This is what I brought home with me.  I am going to hang the vintage hanger and bird cage on the porch with some fall decor.  I think this filled with some cute pumpkins, fall leaves etc. will look cute.

Look at this fabulous chair in the background.  Just adorable.  Sold as I was taking the picture :(

Another fabulous piece that was sold.

I want no!! I need that awesome Bakery Sign.  It is hard to tell from the picture but the wood is old barn wood with lots of character.

The owner Kathleen will be running painting classes.  She has a great area with lots of room for her classes.

  Everything is vintage and hand made so she wants to have it be a new experience each time she opens up the shop.  So in between being open she will be working on handmade pieces along with her vendors bringing in new treasures for sale.

The grand opening was yesterday and Kathleen said they sold out almost the whole store.    I am excited to have it right in my neighborhood.  It will be fun to go back at the next opening to see all the new treasures for sale.

Kathleen has her Facebook page here where she will post the dates she will be open.

So if you live near New Lenox Illinois then you must come and visit this cute shop.  Heck if you live near New Lenox you must come visit me and we will shop!!!!


 My mom leaves today to go back to Florida.  All the family is going back to work.  The fun week end is over and I have my quiet house back.
Wishing you all a great week.
