Pictures From Horton's .....

  Just a few Horton photos. This first one was last Christmas. Oh I did see the old sleigh this week. It was in the greenhouse entrance, of the store. No pictures, sorry.
  Lots of burlap rosettes, banners and ribbons. Lace wrapped tiny trees.
 This proves you should never throw a frame away. they can be arranged on a wall without anything in them and still look good. I like the oval one with sheet music.
   Yesterday, The repairman came to put the ordered part on the stove.  A bit pricey, but it worked. Oh happy day. He used the gas sniffer meter to check for any other leaks. None. He did explain a few things about what had happened. You know if you understand a little it helps...if you don't he could be just blowing smoke. LOL. Since Ted had worked on appliances as a young man , he did glean some info from it. So move over  Nellie, I may bake some cookies too. :):) In case you don't know Nellie, she is the queen of cookie baking over at Berries And More.
  Hugs to all who need one. Who of us could not stand a hug? :):)

    1. Wanda, I would never have dreamed burlap could be done up so many different ways and look good too. When I think of the stuff we have thrown out. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  8. I have many picture frames in my closet. Maybe I should get them out.
    Glad your stove is working right. I would like to replace the grates on mine, but when I checked the price, it seemed a little steep. Will just have to apply a little more elbow grease to the things since he stove works perfectly fine.
    What a lovely store.

    1. Nonnie, I think stove are getting pricier all the time. And they do not last 30-40 years like the old days. I clean my stove and fridge all the time , so they look very good. But oh my you can tell it is poor workmanship or quality. Like under my grates, the paint seems thinner than all over the stove. My grandson scratched his mom's fridge with a cookie sheet as he walked by it. Unreal. Yes, you could decorate with your frames. :):) Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  10. Thanks for another visit to Horton's. My kind of store, for sure. Want the easiest cookie recipe ever.....I egg, I cup sugar and 1 cup peanut butter. That's it. 350 til done. It's a smaller batch. I made some last night and not a one left. I used a natural PB this time, less sugar. Not the oily kind though. They are rich but easy and so good. Give Nellie a run for it.

  14. I always love your Horton's pictures, sometime when you have time, write about the owners, I am curious as to who does these beautiful displays, and is it really a hardware store. Hope everything is going well for you!
