Minnesota Farm Vacation: Presents to Myself

On my recent Minnesota farm vacation I bought this jewelry set in Rochester at a store that sells everything, including farm equipment.  Yes, that's what I said.  They had a little bit of everything, including jewelry. Plus, it was on sale.

The beads are on a wire so at a distance, it looks like the beads are floating on your neck.  Of course, that large tiger theme rose is to die for.  I love animal prints and coupled with rhinestones, I'm over the moon.

I love dark brown so I've worn this jewelry set about 9-10 times already with my brown print dresses, blouses, skirts...I've worn it for dress up and casual.

I also bought this necklace watch at that same farm store.  Also on sale.

Isn't it cute?  Little rhinestones are in the middle, my favorite.

The piece facing the watch is a mirror, so it's come in handy when I have broccoli in my teeth.  I've also worn this number about 5-6 times, dress up, casual.

 I've bought some of my nicest jewelry on my trips to Minnesota.  What gifts to yourself do you buy when you're on vacation?

Minnesota Farm Vacation: Rochester Farmers Market

Here are some photos I took at the Rochester Farmers Market in Minnesota on my vacation.  I love Rochester!

Lots of good eats!

This is the first Lefsa I've ever tried, I had mine with butter and cinnamon on long, flat bread.  YUM!

I also ate three apple, two cherry and one plain home made doughnut.  Hey, you're only on vacation for a short time, right?

I loved this wood working booth

This bus was a cool prop for a booth, wasn't it?

I saved the best for last.....

Isn't orange the new "in" color?

Minnesota Farm Vacation: Pony and Donkey

Well, I realized I still had these photos in my camera of my recent vacation to the Misty Meadows Farm and I just had to post them, they are so cute!

I got these great pics of the donkey and pony...they're about the same size but the donkey is much older.  They seem to get along to well.

What are friends for, except to use each other as scratching posts to get rid of annoying insects!

Sometimes you have to roll around on your back for a good scratch.

And Blue Violet (or Spot) the goose wanted to say hi too.

I'm really missing the farm!  Do you have any summer vacation stories on a farm?
