Someone's junk, is another ones treasure

Someone's junk, is another ones treasure, and I can definitely tell y'all about that. ;) I have loved antiques, what some call junk, since I was little.  I think running into every antique/junk store known to man as a kid might have something to do with that. :)

On the junk store note, I remember when my Gram would see a junk store as we were driving somewhere, and she would say, "Reuben stop, I gotta go in that store."  Lol, and of course my Grandpa would stop anywhere Gram wanted to go.  He actually enjoyed it to.  Anywho, when we would get there he always said, "here we are Miss Carol, and Lady Jane."  That was what he called us most of the time.  I miss hearing that.  Getting my present today made me think of this, and go down memory lane.  

Today I got an early birthday present, and I think it's my all time favorite birthday present.  I know, y'all are probably thinking, "ok, this gal is excited about an old piece of junk?!"  Lol.  Well, it is old, but it's also a vintage piece of one of my fave drinks.  It's a Canada Dry crate from 1960.  Total surprise it was getting it, and I was so excited.  

It's a purdy one :)

Then, I also got an authentic Irish cookbook of a lady that my Gram keeps up with, and loves.  I love Irish stuff, and I love to cook.  So I can't wait to try some of the recipes out. :) 

Sorry the pic is sideways.  I've read a little out of this.  She sounds so fun, and her recipes sound yummy. 

AND, my sweet Beau told my Gram that he wanted to get me flowers, so she helped him out and got me flowers.  Oh, and a clover plant.  Love my sweet boy so much.  

I do have a green thumb, but don't get to use it right now.  I loved getting this little thing, and the flowers of course.  I don't have a pic of the flowers.  Forgot to take one.  

Random...my sweet Brant loves to rub silky tags.  I think he might be like his momma.  I did that as a kiddo.  

Gotta get to bed.  Today was a long day, but we got a lot of things done.
