I walked into Blue Bakers and there stood Cher in her Cowboy hat holding this sign.
I knew I had found a friend. We had some soup and split a brownie and talked and talked. We found we had many things in common. Finally we decided we better go junkin.
We went to three and I made some purchases. My prize was the sterling silver tea set in perfect condition for $20..Just what I needed, something else to clean and polish, but it looks so good.
I got 2 brass candle sticks to paint and 2 punch cups to glue on top to hold a candle, I will add some ribbon, etc.
Next was these 2 pieces by Andre. I am not a collector of the blue and white pieces, but they were 2.00 each…what can I say.
I bought something else, but I will save it until I use it and show you the finished product.
After all the looking, shopping and buying, we went to Cher’s house….OMG, what a talented lady…It is cowboy up and it is beautiful and darling all rolled into one. She has a workshop that is unbelievable with all kinds of equipment. Believe me when I tell you she is talented.
About 3:30 we parted and I thought as I drove home, what a very nice day we had, 2 strangers at 11:15am and a friend at 4:00pm.
Cher has such a postive attitude about her newly found lump in her breast which is malignant. Cher will, if anyone will, lick the cancer and live to be 100.
Cher, if you are reading this, I want you to know, I now count you as a friend and hope you feel the same.
Purple hugs,
Barbara

Looks like a lovely time together!
She's something else isn't she? If you get the chance, read her book, you can get to it off her sidebar. It's one heck of a ride!

P.S. I agree...Cher has enough Texas gumption to whup the tar out of anything that tries to get in her way!
Hello Barbara, thank you for stoping by my post today. Wow it look like you two ladies had an incredible journey to friendship, and memories to last till you unite again. That looked like so much fun, and I could go for a brownie right about now seeing as I have been on a diet for about 7 months now.
Sorry to hear about her tumor, I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers. I might be young however I suffered four years ago with a lump found in my breast as well, and went through many tests, when I was sent to the surgeon to find out more details on the lump, by the grace of God it was gone. It touches me every day I think about what could have been. God bless the both of you.
Cheers,
Heidi
What fun!!! It looks like you two had a wonderful time!!! Love your new finds too!!!

O, I am thrilled that you two had a great time. I, too, had lunch just yesterday with a blogger and I can't wait to post about it.
Praying for your friend Cher.
O, and there's not a PICTURE of the billboard...it was just the words I have on there.

How wonderful for you to hook up and become friends. Glad you had a great time and I pray for a wonderful healing for her.
Thanks for sharing your day with us. I'm so glad y'all got to meet. :)
That is so awesome that you two just went from blogger world to real world in a blink. I'm so exicted that you got to meet and spend the day together.
You found some great stuff.
Loved all your pictures and the cute sign she made.
I'll pray for Cher.

you are so lucky to have met a blogger in person!!! It looks like a wonderful time!
Barbara, I'm a huge fan of blue and white, and I'm loving the piggie and frog. You sure get some beautiful blue skies in Texas! Please tell Cher I've said a prayer for her. She's lucky to have a supportive friend like you.
Hi thanks for stoping by my post today. I loved the Cherokee story when I read it. I thought it was so touching to hear how the Lord was put into the story. It gave me goose bumps. Glade you like it. Have a wonderful day.
Cheers,
Heidi
What a grand time you had! Love all your found treasures. Will keep her in prayer. Lumps have been known to disappear with prayer, you know.
I just love the Cher and am so happy that you two were able to meet up and have such a fab time!!!
Barb... what a great visit you and Cher had! and what wonderful finds! I wish you weren't so far away... hope will get together one day soon...
I made one of those little candelstick teacup ezy-peezy thingies that Spencer gave the directions for... and I just absolutely love it! I can't wait to find the pieces to make another and another!
take care... and I'll be waiting for the beautiful photos to come!
hugs. Dixie
Great day, New Girlfriend. We'll do it again!

Purple love is the best!! I love this blogging world!! What fun it looks like you ladies had:) Go Cher!!!
It seems like you've got a new friend. Good for you!
Those blue and white items--OH HONEY! If ever you get tired of them, I'll grab 'em up!
Isn't she a hoot?
I am excited that you will be at the Fall show! Looking forward to meeting you. ~Mindy
Now that was a great idea on how she found you with that cute sign. I know you both had a great time shopping and looks like ya'll had a ball. I bet you have been to Round-Top and Marburger. I do like your teaset being a tea lover.
