I WON A BUNNY

On Friday when I heard the mailman drop the lid on the mailbox I headed to the door and before I got the storm door open I saw this white Priority box sitting almost in front of the door and I just knew who it was from and I could hardly wait to get inside and open it up….yep, I got my adorable bunny from BRENDA at http://therustythimble.blogspot.com/

THANK YOU SO MUCH BRENDA FOR DRAWING MY NAME. He’s just adorable and will find a special place in my home.

Rabbit

Well let me tell you he’s cuter in person! The detail is incredible….all the work that Brenda puts in her creations is awesome.
His outfit is all wool even!!!!

So what do you think….did I get a great treasure or what?

Well my husband left yesterday morning (Saturday) for York, PA – there were three other drivers following him so they had good support heading into the horrible snow storm awaiting them in PA and sure enough as soon as they got about 1/2 hour from Cranberry, PA they were detoured south because of an accident that had PA Turnpike 76 tied up for hours. So south they went and finally got back on and got to their hotel in Cranberry finally.

It was pushing 8:30 and they needed (wanted) food badly so headed to Bob Evan’s….CLOSED
So they went next door to a steak place….CLOSED…
Everything was closed up….customers were still in there eating but obviously they all closed early to let their workers head home before it got too late.
So they had a pizza delivered to their rooms….now this confused me a tad….THE PLACES WERE CLOSED THAT HAD CUSTOMERS COMING TO THEM….BUT THEY KEPT EMPLOYEES WORKING THAT HAD TO GO OUT ON THE HORRIBLE ROADS TO MAKE DELIVERIES….a tad backwards I think…but at least they got food.

So Doug will go to York and the other 3 head on into Philly….but they are all heading back when the next storm is due to hit!  Hope they don’t run into any trouble this time.

Does anyone know if the Valley Forge Shows were cancelled and or rescheduled???

I do know I was sad to have missed this one but there are for sure many out there saying the same thing. Oh the poor vendors…such expense to get there and set up and probably not many if any attending to buy.

I’m definitely going to Columbus March 19, 20 for the Offingers and Heritage shows…anyone else going?  It would be great to meet you all.

I hope all you out there in blog land are staying warm and safe and have a wonderful Super Bowl Sunday!

Hugs, Karen

  4. Oh goodness Mr. Bunny is SO ADORABLE! I loved the pictures of him! Oh ma'gosh Karen I will keep your Hubby in my prayers for a safe trip home! xoxo I also chuckled a little because I love your spirit about the shows.. I am the same way! This would be me - "Ehh, it's only 8 feet of snow, I think if I strap some chains on the tires and a snow plow on the front bumper I should be fine right... I mean after all, the Ingalls from Little House On the Prairie didn't let a little snow stop them when they had to rush Laura to Doc Baker's house." (LOL)
    I hope you're having a wonderful day Karen!
    Love,
    Jobeth

  6. Good afternoon Karen. Oh my gosh, it feels so good to have some "alone time" to get some things done. I'm almost done here and then I'm heading to our old house to do some sorting and packing. I sure hope we get this all done soon!!!
    I was so excited to hear you are going to Ohio! I'm going to try to get to that show too. How much fun it would be to finally get to meet in person!!!! WOO-HOO! We'll have to make some plans when it gets closer.
    Sure hope Doug gets home safe and sound. Can't believe the snow they are having in the east and south. I'm so glad it finally missed us!
    Enjoy your day and we'll talk soon, Dawn

  10. Hi Karen...now THAT is a good looking bunny!
    I loved the fact that he is dressed in wool too.

    I got so excited to see that you are coming down to Columbus for the shows. The Heritage Market at the Shrine is maybe 25 minutes from me!
    I see that Dawn is planning on going too. I would love to meet up with whoever comes. I no longer have a vendor's license so I would have to meet at a place in the area. There are lots of restaurants at Easton Mall. I'll be checking back with you.

  19. Hi Karen,
    We went to the Valley Forge Show and lots of people came even with all the snow! Alot of people came Friday and bought and they shuttled the people from the hotels in the next day. My friend sold out by Sat. afternoon. The show was huge. Hard to get thru it all and never enough money to buy everything I want!! Prices seemed a bit high this year though. Anyway, the bunny is adorable! Congrats!

  24. Hi Karen, "The show still went on.." LOL, horrid driving, and late or no show vendors. Easy to buy, Sunday was busier.
    I have to laugh...being from NH...IT'S SNOW!
    I feel bad for your husband traveling, but I couldn't believe they closed down EVERYTHING! All those freeways, highways, people, were told to stay off the roads AND THEY DID! I find that facinating. Everyone was hungry tho with no place to eat. Wished you could have made it tho, would have loved to meet you.
    Blessings,
    Dale, Elizabeth

  26. Hi Karen,
    Love the bunny you won!! Congrats!!
    I live in Ohio and used to go to the Columbus Market years ago when I had my shop in Waynesville...I actually live less than an hour away from there. Wanting to go to CWI wholesale place in Columbus this coming week, but they are calling for 7 inches of snow and we have 10 to 12 now!!
    I have pitures of my new grandson posted on my blog now.

    Lovely little bunny!!! Congratulations!

    I agree....that is craziness..that the eat in restaurants were closed..but the delivery ones were out and about :)

  29. Karen, what a treasure you won! Mr. Bunny is just awesome and so beautifully made!

    How silly to closes those restaurants and yet there was drivers out delivering pizza. Great that they got to eat, but like you said...just a tad backwards!

    This weather is starting to get on my nerves! ;-)
    I do hope there will be no trouble for Doug on his return trip.
    Have a great day!
    Prim Blessings,
    Kim

  30. Wahoo! Karen. Way to go! Congrats on Mr. Bunny!!! It is fun to win huh. (ya, I'm so having bunny envy right now )LOL
    I love his wool clothes! He's loaded with personality for sure.
    OOOOOOO So sorry the Mr. had to go out in that storm and may be coming back in another. Yikes! Hopefully he can make it back before it hits. Safe and sound. ♥
    I really thought we would remain "snow free" this week end, silly me, but we got a titch. Not like your big storms there though.
    Enjoy your Monday.

  33. You received a great treasure! That bunny is adorable! I'm loving the fact his outfit is all wool!

    Glad Doug and the other drivers made it safely and were able to get some food. That would be hard, I'm sure I would always be worried about my husband being out in that mess!
