What does a mom do on a rainy Mother's Day? You can read more about that below. And I did not complain once. The gardens were beautiful!
On Saturday, April 13 I was lucky enough to attend the MacKenzie-Childs warehouse sale in Union Springs, NY (near their retail store in Aurora).
Although my visit with Patti was brief, it was great to reminisce about the warehouse sale which we both loved. I like it better than the barn sale in July especially since we received an extra 30% off the already reduced prices of 50%.
We bought the black sisal rug trimmed in Courtly Check, and the petal platter. Yes, an extra 30% on the rug! It looks wonderful with our newly painted accent wall done in Benjamin Moore "Iron Mountain". The other three walls are BM "Linen White" which I have used in our home for 25 years. Please ignore the extension cord on the floor.
Tom Tracy is the most photographed employee at the MacKenzie-Childs retail store in Aurora. His warm personality and hugs are the best!
The new "Royal Check" looks like blue denim jeans.
A very colorful store indeed. Like Candyland for adults :-)
The birdhouse is one of my favorite purchases. When I came home, I plunked it on the cake pedestal and left it there until after Easter :-)
The remainder of our purchases from the sale included new towels, Christmas ornaments for our tree, place cards which I will use as gift tags, a fantastic owl and fall bouquet, four ice cream pedestal bowls, coffee mug, Easter bunny with a crown, new pot holders,
We had a great morning at Sycamore Hill Gardens. When we arrived it was not raining, we toured the lovely gardens, and then all of a sudden the sky opened up but we were done so we left. I was prepared! I wore a rain jacket with a hood, wore boots and gloves and brought my umbrella. Can you believe I needed gloves in May! Miss Aurora is always a good sport, and I did not complain once either. Truth! I felt sorry for the moms that got stuck in the mud in the large field.
