Look what arrived at my house. I'm a little late posting about this lovely package from Gaylen.

A handmade pin cushion that is already in use at the sewing machine table. A froggy tea holder. Found that a bit funny when I was frogging projects this morning:).

Sock yarn that I have been wanting to try but due to our limited stock at our local fabric store I haven't had the opportunity. But I do now.

A pledge duster. Gaylen knew I needed one of these things so I can crochet reuseable covers. Yes (sigh) I know it has not been taken from the package yet. I must make that reuseable cover first........LOL
And then there were these. The most adorable embroidered labels I have ever seen. They will be perfect sewn on a handknit gift. I just don't know if I can actually give them away:).
I keep nudging Gaylen to make these and offer them for sale. I absolutely love them.
Thank you so much for everything Gaylen.





I have cast on for a dollette. I've made a few of these in the past. They measure about 3 inches when finished. Unfortunately the pattern booklet is no longer available.















Paisley Socks. I purchased this pattern on ravelry. This is an easy pattern and I like the results.
I should be knitting gifts for St Nick but I'm knitting these for self:).

One man's trash is another.......

I hope everyone had a wonderful July 4th holiday. It feels a lot like fall around here with temps in the 70's during the day and low 50's at night.

I've been quiet for a few days. Okay, more like a week or so. There are those out there who cannot believe that I'm quiet. LOL I have some personal stuff going on and I have chosen to be mum about it on here. However you can email me, if you like.

Now onto some fun............

We decided to go on an "adventure." Our church has a thrift shop that is open every Wednesday. The proceeds go into a community mission to help those in need locally.


I found some nice goodies today at the thrift shop. I love this small bowl and it was only $1.00. Looks lovely on my antique cookstove.



My grandmother had a set of dishes with this very design so of course I had to buy it. It had a $2.00 price tag so cha-ching, it's mine.










I fell in love with this candy dish. Look at the sculpted flowers. Aren't they gorgeous? There's a small chip on the pink rose but that didn't stop me from the $1.50 purchase price. The stamp on the bottom says Italy.

I just can't stop admiring this dish. The colors are beautiful and ya'll know I like color:).








Then this little bone china tea cup from England was screaming to come home with me. The price? 75 cents. The stamp on the bottom says Salisbury with a handpainted gold number.



Anita mentioned making a dusting cloth thingy. We found the pattern and now Chan is in on the action. Feel free to join us to make a re-usable dusting thingy (it fits on those swiffer/biffer handles).

It's a crochet project and I have to make something to dust my new finds. These goodies are HIGH above Mr. Bettis & Co. Now about those cats..................
