…restored, for now.

This past weekend family came and visited. My sister-in-law and I’s main priority was to hit my local thrift stores and thankfully were not disappointed. The last few trips have been less than fruitful, but hurray, Saturday we hit the jackpot. From a set of encyclopedias to several great books to a tea cart ($5, yes!) to an adorable Japanese nightgown to fabric…you get the idea, we were happy!

We shop well together, finding one another great finds and giving up things we don’t need. The above fabric Bethany found and she was SO NICE to give it to me!

At first, I was going to give Penelope these measuring cups to play with in her kitchen. But really, will she appreciate them? Later, maybe.

Love these birds hanging out…shirt for me is in order. Now only if I can figure out this pattern.

Nope, no babies in the future for me, but these sweaters were just to sweet to pass up. Future gifts are in store…

Thanks Bee for a fun escape!

I had that fabric (with the apple tree) mounted on a frame in my bedroom growing up… a LOONG time ago. I haven’t thought of it for years, I don’t know where it went. But your picture of it makes me SMILE!!!

I am very, very jealous of those fabrics!
Especially the tree and apple one. Very jealous.
