Jungle Jim's Adventure!

It's getting to be that time of year where the weekends get busier and we all run around like crazy people. While I was able to get quite a bit of work done this weekend, I also snuck in some fun. I spent most of the day treasure hunting on Saturday (FYI, There's some new Pyrex coming to the shop very soon...and the cameras I just listed? AMAZING) and wrapped up the day with a trip to Jungle Jim's International Market in Fairfield, OH.

Jungle Jim's is the amusement park of grocery stores. For starters, it's massive. You need a map to find your way around the place!




They have a large selection of everything you can imagine. I think the cheese went on for 1/2 a mile. How could you not be happy in a place with that much cheese?? (and samples!) These guys were my favorite!

Knock Knock Knock, Penny!

I've been reading Elycia's blog and got inspired by her pressed penny collection. I like to collect things that don't take up too much space and I love the nostalgia of penny pressing machines. 

I visited a website called the Penny Collector and I was excited to see how many places in my area have these machines! I happened to be in the neighborhood of the Hasty Tasty the other day and stopped by to press some pennies.

This was spontaneous, so I didn't have my "real" camera with me. My iPhone photos will have to suffice this time!


The people in the restaurant probably thought I was crazy. I didn't eat there and I was SUPER STOKED about my pennies!
