A stroll in Portsmouth NH.

On the streets of Portsmouth:  the Hawk, Cici, Mr. T, and Nini.


We took a stroll through Portsmouth NH with four kids,
three adults,
two toy cars,
and a binkie. 

 
Cool clock!
We looked around at all the sights, took in the sunny day,
and enjoyed a few peaks to window shop.



Love the Turqoise and growing ivy.
We admired the colors and beautiful buildings,
including this painted turquoise bakery.



Portsmouth side alley.

We walked through alleys and brick streets
looking in windows
and wishing for ice cream.

Mr. T grooving to a Hurdy Gurdy

And then, Mr. T and all the kidlets
wanted to sit and enjoy
something I had never heard
or seen before...


Enjoying the sounds of a Hurdy Gurdy.
...A man, as cozy as could be, took up a nice little section
of a Portsmouth Street and played sweet little tunes on the Hurdy Gurdy. 
If you don't know what a Hurdy Gurdy is or want to know
all the facts check out this sweet little page that explains it all here.

This was our fun little stroll through
the streets of Portsmouth NH! 
Thanks for coming along :)


Have you been to Portsmouth?
Favorite thing?
Have you heard the sounds of a Hurdy Gurdy?
Or, never heard of it like me?!

Saturday Flea Market Finds.

Treasures everywhere, if you went early! I love how people are drawn differently to treasures among a flea market or yard sale. Where I was oohing over linens, Craig was looking at books, and the girls were dawdling over the cupcakes at the bake sale tables, and the boys were playing with toys a very nice women ggenerously gave to them. It was a fun family outing and all of us had a fun experience! Here's what I found:


Compartment basket - $2

Old quilt cutting (4 of these squares ) $3

Sweet material $4 for 2.5 yards



Old print and frame LOVE this!  $30

all told with one toy for the boys @ $3 I spent -

$42.00 in treasures just for me!

Did you know they call yard sales in New Englad - Tag Sales?!

New to me :)
