Good Morning Guys and Gals alike!!!..boy did we do some shopping yesterday...well not as much as I would have liked as they didn't have some of the things we were searching for..but we hit 11 stores yesterday from 11-5pm...I think we were both beat when we got home...and I stopped at the grocery store to get some stuff..so make that 12 for me..lol..I got this sweet little table runner for $1.99..it will go out on the picnic table..
they were having a sale at the senior center in Sequim and I picked up this sweet large Santa for $3.00...He will go with my large Snowman..Can't wait to decorate the home for Christmas...love a good old fashioned christmas..
I got a new sprinkler..okay tried it out and it was a bit weird..so will let hubby try it and see if its just operator error..got the old wood for .75 each...will stencil something on them..:)
these were on my list..got them for .99-3.00 each..got the hammer for our crab nights..now no more forks will be bent...
picked this up..now I have a set..not sure if I will keep them or sell them after I transform them..:) this was a 1.99
ah yes..how I do love glassware..truly I do..picuked up the sugar jar for 1.99, the little strawberry bowls for .99 each, the strawberry jar for 2.99 and this awesome pyrex casserole container for 3.99..the little grater for .99
I traded out a blue one just like this for this one..love the color of it..kind of olive like.;)
we hit a cute little stamp store on our very first stop and they had some cute consignment stamps for sale..so I got this funky one above..kind of halloween like to me..it was 6.00
this was a steal..8.00 for a brand new set of stampin up ones.:) will make cute little tags..;)
we hit a quilt shop on our way back into town.about 20 minutes away..I got my water soluble tread..so now I can make some "fringe" embroidery and see how it comes out..I have 2 rooster designs I am trying out..
picked up some more chicken fabric.:)
2 pieces (fat quarters)...love the print..
this is one that we both splurged on..it is 10.25 a yard..an alexander henry print..love it..they also had the owl print...I gotta make a doll now.;)

an old building..love the chippiness of it..;)
this was taken going home..it is the first farm you see once you come into Sequim..it is part of the lavendar festival here that they have every july...

this ones my favorite...there is lavendar everywhere in sequim..I just wish mine looked that good..;) smells heavenly too.;)
okay we are back on our side of the pond now...litterally...and we stopped in at the quilt store and as we were leaving we noticed a little car show..so we got our drinks in hand and then we did a drive by of all these fabulous awesome looking cars..oh I will take everyone of them..;)


love these trucks..either would look great parked in front of my house..;)
I love the red one the best..oh my..;)love the grill..




I pute out my strawberry dishes all washed up..the sugar jar not sure what to put in it..might be dog treats..I already have my tupperware sugar containers..this needs a rubber seal..above you can see the strawberry jar peeking out amongst the others..gotta get it filled up too.:)

  3. 65 degrees, I was envying the lavender fields until I got to the weather and I'll take 65 degrees over lavender or good treasure finds. I am so ready for Fall.

I WILL learn to sew VERY soon. Even my girls were drooling over the fabric. I wanted to buy one of each... its addicting.LOL
