Then she added this darling Raggedy Ann & Andy book--she keeps my Ann & Andy collection well stocked and also these awesome antique/vintage seam bindings. I love seam binding! Also there were ribbons and threads, crepe paper and 2 fabulous pairs of hemostats! I hope I didn't forget anything, but there was sooo much and I loved it all! Thank you Donna! Big hugs to you!
Then today I got out and got to have some fun running around and visited my local quilt shop--The Quilted Daisy and bought a few fat quarters for my stash of civil war print and 1930's print repros, along with a calendar by Kim Diehl
( http://store.martingale-pub.com/catalog/index.cfm?fuseaction=product&id=753 )that I've been wanting and finally got! and a really neat quilt pattern called Grandma Hansen's Aprons--that of course will require more fabric to be added to the stash! I don't know if you can tell in the picture, but the pattern is actually in a little muslin bag with the picture printed onto it. A really unique way to sell a pattern I think!
Then at the thrift shop I found a few quilting magazines, a really cute stitchery and applique booklet and a beehive bobbin--for 50 cents!!
Here's a close up of the little house patterns that are found in these two issues. I have a thing for little house quilts and have decided I must see how many patterns for them I can find--how many I'll make--well we'll see--but hopefully a bunch!
Then I topped it all off with a trip to one of my favorite craft stores and not being a scrapbooker I was however taken with these paperies and had to have them! Actually I do have a specific project for them this month. Now if only I can make myself cut them up!
It's been a wonderful 2 days of treasures and then tomorrow morning the husband, young daughter and I will hit some garage sales. I sure hope I'm blessed with a good treasure haul then too!
