Should I Say all the Silly Quotes Going Through My Brain....Nope!

Well, as many of you know, Monday's are my hunting day. But-yesterday was an off day and i did not go. I had a few kiddos sick and thought it would be good if i just stayed put. Well, the day just seemed to be aimless-lots of odds and ends that just didn't seem to ever end or get done for that matter. It was one of those days that just seemed a good day to come to an end. But, today was a good day. The kids were all back to their studies. Bell had a great time with her speech therapist(a sweet friend of ours). The kids all got signed up for swim lessons-just in the nick of time-I might add-AND-I got to go hunting!! Not my normal day or time, but it was actually quite a nice change! I may make it a new habit. The stores where much quieter actually, my drive home was as the sun was setting and the kids were just getting ready for bed when I returned home. BUT-I had to get these pics right away and share because I found some real extra fun ones this time!




These are some fabulous prints I am going to use in my quilts, clutches, and bibs. All of these are clothing!!





Here are a few more pieces of clothing to use for my quilting projects. Love Love Love the prints!!! I will not be able to get them through the wash fast enough! It is the only time I absolutley cannot wait for that dryer to buzz!







These are two embroidered flour sack towels...they are just adorable! Market Totes!!! They just seem fitting for a trip to the farmers market, don;t they!





I was finally able to find some vintage wallpaper!! Soooo Happy-just the sweetest print. Almost as cute as vintage sheets-almost.


AND FINALLY!!!!! THIS IS ONE OF THOSE FINDS THAT MAKES THE HUNTING WORTH IT...







iT IS THE MOST GORGEOUS QUILT-HANDMADE BY SOMEONE LIKE YOU AND ME-I JUST CANNOT FATHOM WHY THEY GAVE IT UP!! IT IS IN MINT CONDITION-NOT A FLAW TO IT! I EVEN RECOGNIZE MANY OF THE PRINTS USED IN IT.



I LOVE THE DESIGN QUILTED ON IT. HUM...INSPIRATION FOR ONE OF MY QUILTS WAITING TO BE QUILTED;)

  4. Oh my goodness! I want to go with you!!! What an incredible prize. I've heard how families discard their loved ones things by donating to organizations like Hospice, Goodwill etc. Even yard sales have been yielding quilts for $1. Not that I ever have found that kind of bargain. Good hunting :-)

  5. oh, and I had some of that sweet wallpaper in one of the bedrooms, and my daughter tore it out when she moved back home :-( Made me cry.

  6. It seems a bit sad doesn't it, and yet, that really adds a lot to a story for the one who discovers it;) My kids last night were trying to figure out how a quilt like this ended up in a thrift store, they figured someone must have passed away.

    I bet the wallpaper looked so cheerful-I can see why you would cry.
