My Day At Horton's....

    Horton's  use nice bags and tissue papers when you buy something there.   See that pretty bl/wh/aqua bag? I bought shopping list pad and little tags.
  Got these two ball jars. One purple and one green. They had lace or ribbons with tags around the neck of the jar.
 Had to have the gold stamped Eiffel Tower bag. :) This towel with a bluebird on it, so cute.
 Bought these cookie treats from a young girl raising money for her trip to the State House. It was a government class for her.
  This is the fudge Angie and I bought.  Praline, Orange Creamcicle, Cappuccino, and Mint Chocolate. This box is holding a pound of fudge. YUM .
 I did get to visit with Cindy ,The Bee Lady from Hilltop Farm.. She such a pretty girl , so sweet and funny too. I had been looking for her while Angie and I were shopping. Did not see her, so Angie and I were walking to the Subway Shop thinking of having lunch. I saw a little red car by the curb and asked Angie," hey is that a Fiat? "  It was, and I knew it had to be Cindy's , as she just got that car this past year. So we go back to Horton's and I find Cindy. That made me happy, to get to see her and visit a bit. It was just not near long enough visit , as she was shopping with a friend, we were done shopping and the store was crowded.  Cindy, one day we will just meet up and visit. :):) Oh by the way, there's a wreath hanging behind us, up high and it makes me look like I have a  Cindy Lou Who do. LOL  I had a great day, being with Angie, seeing Cindy, and buying a few fun things. I'll have to go back this week for my pansies.
  Today looks like it's going to be a nice day. It's my grandson's birthday. I will have to take his gift to him. This coming Wednesday will be another birthday in our family. Will get that card mailed out.
  Hope all of you have a beautiful Sunday.  XO

    1. Diane, I know I need to redo my whole blog. I am afraid if I change something, I 'll lose my stuff. It's hard to trust blogger. I did have a great day. Today was a little fun also. I'll try to plant some things this coming week. Bless you dear friend, xoxo,Susie

    1. Mildred, The Hortons make the fudge themselves. They must have some wonderful recipes...because the fudge is always wonderful and creamy. I usually use the things I buy there as gifts for my sisters and daughters. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

    1. When ever you come back to Tipton, we will meet up . The Hortons pass that fudge out in little bites for all the customers to taste and they usually will buy some after they taste it. :) They had free coffee, cookies, mini cinnamon rolls, and crackers with spreads. That is such a nice touch when they have their sales. Thanks for the birthday wishes for our Jake. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

    1. Deb, We do not have a lot of places to shop in our town. We have had 3 places go out of business this past year. I love helping the Horton's stay open, by shopping every time they have their cute little markets. I do shop there for my plants also. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

    1. Thank you Cheryl. We try to always buy a piece of fudge. They sell it in 1/4 pounds. They pass free samples out while you shop. Plus have refreshments for free. You know that is such a sweet touch...it makes people shop a little longer. I loved my things. Bless you, xoxo,Susie

  15. Susie, did you know that I used to drive a red fiat all around town? It was the best car to drive. You came home with some nice goodies from Horton's. That fudge looks amazing, especially the cappuccino one. I love those purple and green jars. They will look good for Easter. So nice that you got to spend time with your friend.

    love, ~Sheri

    1. Sheri, I think I would love one of those little cars too. They have to be wonderful on gas. I sampled the fudge while shopping, the owners pass it out to the shoppers. Isn't that so nice? I loved those little jars too. I wonder is one day they will make them in pink.:) Blessings, xoxo,Susie
