SEEN IN NEW HOPE

 
With my schedule now cleared for a week or so...it's no easy feat trying to plan safe and needed get-a-ways for some fun , frolic and relaxation in these times of pandemic. Mind you, I should be readying for my upcoming time to the Woods Campground and then P-Town...but Monday and Tuesday has been nothing but relaxing and goofing off. But I missed my beloved New Hope while up at the ancestral home. Like Monday, a friend phoned and asked me to come to his pool. Well, would you pass that up in this heat?! The water felt fine!


Then Monday night I and the Lumbersexual got together again. I asked if he could help me out of a wet, tight square cut.   I told him I was going into New Hope to have a walk about Tuesday, and coerced him onto playing hookie. I can be rather a terrible influence. I then added in the Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve, since he likes outdoor things and he'd never been, and he was in. That is where the opening picture is from. Here are some snaps from yesterday.
One of my favorite shops in New Hope...Love Save the Day...an emporium of everything retro, vintage, and thrift clothing, and clean and adult novelties.
 We caught up with another friend for martinis...a three martini lunch!!!!!
You know some of these pins came home with me for Pam Demic.
Meanwhile....At another of the macabre shops in town...
When I asked, I was told these item were highly dark items, with evil pasts... and would not be for sale, as the sign above said. 
My friend found the perfect handbag for me, but will it match any shoes I own?
On the way home I stopped and got some corn from a roadside farm here. Have you had any corn this summer yet? It has been the best I tasted in years.
It was a nice,  if not long and hot afternoon. Once back to the Casa we came in for a couple cold beers. I can't imagine what two hot and sweaty guys could get up too, do you? But I'm sure the neighbors will be talking if they saw him leave my apartment this morning!!!!! Hey! Those who are easily shocked, should be shocked more often.  And yes,  it was a very nice night. The cat finally caught the mouse. I showed him what the Mistress knows and some of my hidden talents. Today all I did was make a blueberry cake with frozen blueberries from my mother's bushes, I brought back home.
So there was that.

 I am wondering if I should ask lumbersexual over for a taste. I even made homemade whipped cream. And we know that has many uses.

  3. Love the pronoun pins,and those prayer candles are funny as hell. what a quaint town you live in.

    I have been following your pursuit of chase with the lumbersexual. I can imagine that was a sheet scorcher...and exciting for you both. Keep him coming back for more.

  6. Oh I love Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve.

  7. I'm not going to touch most of this because I don't want to write another essay. Just one thought, that purse would go nicely with a matching pair of crocs.

    3. Red crocs to tone in with the handles?

    4. @Agnes Goldberg-DeWoofs-Thank you, Ms Agnes. I feel honored.
      @Maddie-What did I ever do to you?! That thing looks like a toaster cover.
      @ Helen-I was thinking the same thing. Also a red say something hat.

    5. But.....It would be the ultimate conversation piece!!!!!

      Delete
    6. Sure, Dame Micaux, but who wants to have that conversation?

  8. MISTRESS!!!!! Now I'm all for some juicy gossip. I too wonder how long this cat and mouse would chase each other. I'm glad you two finally "bonded" and you will show him the ropes. But I can't with the thoughts of whipped cream. I never be able to see it again and not have dirty thoughts of men having sex with it!

    My daughter took me to New Hope last week, the first time in almost two years. It was sad to see how many thing were gone, and yet some old favorites still there. It was also missing William at my side.

    I would love to have the Dolly prayer candle, I adore that woman. And your legs always give me some quivers. Ill never tiring of seeing those gams.

  9. Oo la la with the lumbersexual! Well done. I'm so happy for you. Sweet Cheeks spent the night Saturday, but I'm sure we're nowhere near as interesting as the two of you. Your cake is beautiful, as are your legs. And who doesn't want a chicken bag? Did Coach make it? hahahaha! I'm sure it's expensive. I hope the martinis ward off COVID. If not, then you'd better beg for a little time with the exorcism chair.

    Love,
    Janie

    2. You should definitely send that to Deedles.

  13. Until I read your description I thought that gorgeous top pic was a wild swimming hole.

    The blueberry cake looks wonderful; have you tried making it with blackberries as a tangier alternative?

  14. Oh. My. Godddddd.
    So fantastic! Love everything! The three-Martini lunch included. And the thrift shop! That other shop was very The Conjuring, to tell you the truth.
    And that lumbersexual better hold on to his britches.

    XOXO

  18. If your serving blueberry cake, with whipped cream, I'll be there!!!! I absolutely love shops like that with fun little things to find, but id past on that macabre shop...I not about to bring something home with me that hitched a ride.

    Scandalous alert!!!!!!!!

  19. Im telling you, I need to take a trip to this town. I love little quirky towns like this and shops that are not your run of the mill. I googled New Hope...it has quite a fun,and colorful history, not to mention one of the most haunted in the country. And quite a list of artist and literary residents

    I sure hope your company treated your wood right?

    1. I love it here...and your right, it's rich with history and many quirks.

  20. Oh, I want that dog outside the Black Bass!
    Why have you not invited the Lumbersexual for a weekend at The Woods? If he likes nature trails....you could show him lots and lots of nature up there!

    1. That will be something to think about, but I do know he has plans already. And how weird we are on vacation at the same times. The neighborhood will be talking for sure, if they already aren't!!!!

  21. I love the chicken handbag!!
    I also love the martini glasses.

    I'm growing corn on my allotment but it's not ready yet. I can't wait. It's so sweet, just like you!😁

    1. I should go back and send you the chicken handbag!!!! Your hubby will think you flipped your lid!!!!

      Our corn is coming in now and at it's high period...and it has been the tastiest in years. I can have just corn for dinner, with some cut up fresh tomatoes.

  22. The Lumbersexual played hookie for something that starts with N and rhymes with it. I knew it! I'm glad everyone had a great time. I wouldn't burn candles in my new place, but I have to admit I love that Dolly Parton prayer candle.

    1. Sometimes that the best way to play hookie!

  23. You know I love picture of you town, and those prayer candle are funny. A friend of mine would love them.

    Now now now...you know we need more details, like were clothes ripped out, or peeled off slowly, were there multiple rounds of sex? What was his reaction to your assets? Were you pleased with his assets? Was it soft and romantic or full on sweaty back room sex? inquiring minds want to know......

    And did you use the whipped cream?

  24. Call me shallow, but I just enjoyed that pool view of you own chicken bag and legs.

  25. Cute chicken handbag -- too bad it isn't a clutch, LOL! Those vintage floral brooches are wonderful too -- I'd have bought all the enamelled metal ones for my collection as they're so fun to wear in groupings!

    1. Omg I love those enameled pins too. I have thought to adhere them to a stick and put in little pots to intimate a pot garden but thought that might be too corny.

    2. Not if you paint those bamboo skewers first, LOL!

    3. Or pin them to a nice mini-lumbar pillow of forest green velvet!

    4. I like that second choice!!!!

  26. You are quite the catch! That blueberry cake, oh my god. Of course your bathing suit matched the pool. I seriously want that chicken purse. I’d even create a drag persona to go with it. And I have never had a drag persona.
