My Purchases from Canton

I went to Canton with Paul, Kim and Max to make a really great find...I actually went there to see a particular woman who I had been trying to purchase something online through Jaci's blog in one of her older posts...I loved what she put on her bedroom wall that said, "Always Kiss Me Goodnight"...I went to the web-site that Jaci provided and loved what I saw for my friend Kim's little girl's room...there was a saying out of Jeremiah that said, " Before you were born, I knew you"...I knew that I had to get it for her.

I called and tried to purchase it through the web-site and my pay pal account wouldn't go through for some reason so I called her...she was such a sweet lady and she told me that she would be in Canton for the weekend...I chose to visit her there and actually meet her in person...and she made it for me on the spot...it took about an hour to make it so we decided to go eat and shop some more and then come back to get it...I can't wait for you all to see it...you will love it.

I will have a picture of that particular purchase once it is up and my new blog has been created...I am going to celebrate by having a huge giveaway from this company that does this...I am so excited about it...I am making some changes on my blog and I cannot wait.

It had been years since I had been to Canton and I didn't remember it being so huge...the last time I was there...it was brand new and just starting out if that tells you anything...I was overwhelmed by excitement and made almost all of my purchases before going through my first pavillion because of the excitement...I had such a blast going from one booth to the next looking for great finds...I also had to find a birthday gift for my husband who has everything...I found the answer to the nagging question of what to get for a man who has everything...GO TO CANTON of course...you will surely find something that they do not have.

Below are just a few of my purchases of the day...I love them all...and can't wait to go back again soon.

This is my new eyeglass case...I had lost my old one and I love it.

I found this really cute hot pink passport book that I can keep my passport in when we go to Italy the end of September for my husband's World Championship race against 32 other countries...I want to look fancy with this brightly colored case...there is also room for my driver's license and other cards...I can have them all together when I go through all the check points instead of having to get them out one by one with a chance of dropping one and losing some identity...this will have it all together... it was only $10...one of my favorite purchases
Of course, you can't go to Canton and not get something for your grand baby's...I found this wonderful little Christmas smock dress for Alli...she loves modeling clothes if you can keep her still long enough to take a picture...I put it on her to take some pictures and she just kept running around the room, yelling like a little barracuda, because she was so excited.

This is the only way that I could get a close up picture...my son Zachary had to hold onto her...so that you can see the little candy canes going across the front of the dress....so precious.

This is the other little Christmas dress that I got for Alli...I barely got this picture because she was running around like a little ballerina...she was so precious in this dress and looked like a little angel.

This is better look at the back with the plaid bow...and the satin on the trim at the bottom...I got this dress at the same booth of the smock dress...I think it was one of my favorite booths of the day.

The dress that I have on is another one of my purchases...my husband has always wanted me to buy a red dress and when I saw this one..I fell in love with it...not only for the color but for the confortability and simplicity of it...I don't feel as though I stand out as much...another thing he loves me to wear is red lipstick...I hate it because I feel as though I am drawing attention to myself, although I love it on other women...just not myself...but I thought I would surprise my husband and show up at church with it on...he had to drive in from Dallas from work, so when he walked into church...he was surprised and shocked and complemented me all day....I always love that...this was another way that I could get Alli to stay still for a picture...she was precious in her little dress...If you are looking at my eyes and thinking that they really look green...please overlook it...I was playing around trying to get the red eye out and thought I would just play around and paint them green like they are a lot of times (they change colors depending on what I wear)...anyway, I was just playing around and planning on erasing it and then just getting rid of the red eye...but I accidentally saved it and I had already erased it from my camera and couldn't get it back...just don't enlarge it so that you can see how riduculous they really look.

I made one more purchase for the day, but I cannot post it until after my husband's birthday next week....I am afraid that he will look at my blog and see it...but let me tell you, I can't wait for him to open it so that I can use it...it is great!!!! I think that he will really LOVE it. When I post it, I will also list the web-site that you can buy one on...the man also said that you could say that you are a friend of Tammy Pearson who purchased on at Canton and you could receive the same price that I did at Canton...they are more expensive online....so just by going to the blog and reading mine, you can get a deal...How great is that.
