I assigned everybody a number going right down the list and used a random number generator. The winner is....
I popped over and looked at her blog - love it! Thanks to everyone who stopped by and commented. Also - welcome to my new followers!! I hope I can keep you entertained!
I had a lovely Mother's Day - my daughter sent tulips which arrived on Sunday! How wonderful!!
They came with a blue mason jar - I love colored mason jars!! My son called me to tell me he loves me - ahhh what a nice boy! My husband took me to dinner and gave me the cutest monkey card. It was a nice weekend.
I finally got all my grades - 5 classes all A's!! What a relief! I have to take anatomy and physiology this summer and I have to get an A in that. Plus I have to study for the entrance test - to even get in the program. Scary.
I have to show you some fun finds from the Goodwill store!! Scott found this LoRan line magnifier for my metal stitching board - wow does it work well!
check this out - flat ...
pull up the handle and it's a basket - adorable!! Looks handmade and it is heavier than you would expect!!
the little rustic house - it doesn't blend in as much in person - it's perfect there!
a Mongolian Ger - hand painted "jewelry suitcase"
Scott picked up these frames - can't wait to see what he does with them!!
and the best find (Scott just rolled his eyes - he says it's the ugliest gaudy bag ever - what does he know lol yes, it's bright but I LOVE it!!) A Vera Bradley messenger bag the fabric is discontinued "Cupcakes Pink" a bit faded on the front otherwise in PERFECT condition!! 20 bucks!
When we lived in Colorado my friend Katie bought me my first Vera Bradley messenger bag - she was shocked that I didn't have any Vera Bradley bags. She found this one at a thrift store in Colorado for 5 bucks!! One little frayed edge - otherwise PERFECT condition! Retired "Java Blue". There are some on ebay - prices aren't bad. I love the messenger bag!!
Scott bought me a bag when he first came to Indianapolis to use as a lunch bag - yes it's a diaper bag! At the time I needed to take 2 meals and drinks because I worked 10 hour shifts so a big bag was needed! Retired "Suzani" The pockets are great for silverware, salt, sunglasses, wallet and keys - so you don't have to carry a purse on work days!
Today I am going to stitch - woo hoo!! Hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!
EEEEkkk I think my husband turned into a cat.....
Oooh love your bags!! I'm a bit of a "bag-holic" and these are simply gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI have a very similar wooden basket :) It's a bit smaller and is in a shape of an apple. I use it mainly over Christmas to keep nuts in shell.
Have a lovely day x
I love your bags too! Sounds like the perfect Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteOur kids must think the same way, I got tulips in the same blue mason jar. I loved the jar. The tulips too! What good finds at the thrift store.
ReplyDeleteI have a VB diaper bag that my Mom used as a purse. I'd planned on using it as a project bag. Those LoRan rulers work pretty good. Great thrift store goodies! Glad you had a good mother's day.
ReplyDeletePretty Tulips.
ReplyDeleteThe VB bags are beautiful.
Great finds from Goodwill.
