I walked into SOS Vintage in Webster City on Saturday and fell in love. Seriously. I fell in love. As I chowed down on a lovely blueberry scone I spied it----THE teapot.

Tuesday night a group of North Iowa Bloggers (and yes---these ladies deserve a capital B) got together at my home for a bit of fun and taste testing.

Of course while I was at it I picked up what other summer items I could find but they did not get top billing like the Lay's chips. Trust … [Read more...]
