Caffeine Free

So here I sit…without my morning coffee.  :(

My knee surgery is scheduled for this afternoon, so I was told not to have anything to eat or drink after midnight last night. I have to arrive at the surgical center at 12:30 this afternoon and surgery is scheduled for around 2pm. I am so looking forward to getting this taken care of today, and really curious as to what he is going to find in there.

I think I’d rather go without food than coffee! I know the major headache will soon appear. Oddly enough, they are able to give you caffeine through your intravenous drip, so I plan on asking for that as soon as they get that hooked up. It’s amazing, as your headache usually disappears within about five minutes.

I spent most of the weekend getting prepared for today, cleaning, grocery shopping, etc…as I will be unable to do anything around here for a bit.

I did manage to sneak out and do a little prim shopping on Saturday morning after my last puppy left with her new owner. I was feeling a little down as we kept her a little longer than usual and then you tend to get attached and it’s hard when they leave.

So, I drove to a wonderful shop about 45 minutes from here called the Main Street Trading Company in Macedon, NY.

It’s an old house filled to the brim with primitives. I actually went to inquire about purchasing a floor cloth. I didn’t come home with a floor cloth as they are special order and the store owner is going to get back to me with pricing, as it varies depending on size, pattern etc…I did see one done in a pattern I really like called Bump Tavern…May be a little too busy though. I also really like another pattern called May House. Not sure yet as to what pattern I want so I will think about that more while recovering as I will have more time to research it while resting in bed with my laptop.

I didn’t leave empty handed though…As soon as you walk into this store, the wonderful scents hit you depending on the seasons. One of her big sellers this time of year is a scent called “Lemon Custard” and it’s mouthwatering.

So I picked up one of those and let me tell you how fantastic it makes the house smell. I burned it for a few hours on Saturday afternoon, blew it out around 7:30pm before we went to dinner with some old friends, and when we got back home around 12:30 in the morning, it hit us as soon as we walked in the door. Then when I got up on Sunday morning, with a slight hangover, :)  I came out of our bedroom and it hit me again, and it hadn’t even been burning since the previous evening. So loving this candle.

Then I spotted this tin Candelier hanging from the ceiling…Still haven’t decided where I will be putting this yet…So many possibilities.

I’ve been wanting a Shoo Fly Screen for awhile now and found this one there also…But fell in love with this perfect table top server to go along with it.

Here they are displayed together with a pantry cake I made.

Love the base on the server…and the brown chippy paint it’s done in.

I finally replaced everything on my fireplace mantle too. It needs a string of something draped across the front yet I think…

Well that’s it for now…I plan on being heavily medicated for the next few days. As soon as I can see clearly again, I hope to find lots of eye candy on your blogs…as that’s the best medicine.

Have a great day, and a better tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Debra
