On the last day of my favorite person's visit we went to Wildwood Antique Mall , one of my favorite places to scour for treasures. I admit, I let myself indulge in one last round of retail therapy, too. It's always hard to say good-bye to my girl. I've officially started getting ready for Halloween. Okay, not really, but I couldn't resist this haunted house framed picture. The bats kill me. :) This watercolor bird is going to hang in my home office. I also bought myself and my favorite person a mystery bag of jewelry. Here's what was in mine. This shabby prim cat decided to come home with me, too. He'll keep my shabby prim bear company. Hey, at least it's not dolls. Fed my bunny obsession as well with this adorable trinket dish. This 86" X 60" tablecloth is an odd size, but I can use the fabric, possibly for my calendar project. Finally I picked up a bunch of quilt blocks, fabric, precut squares and ...
Despite a long stall my calendar project eventually went well in July; for my August tote I still need to decide on a design. The shabby prims are nudging me toward a Halloween themed project but it's a little too early for me to celebrate that -- next month would be better. I picked up this tablecloth to use as fabric last month, and the pretty colors do appeal to me. I'm just not sure I want to do another flower-themed tote. I also found a bunch of vintage textiles and quilt blocks at the antique mall in Wildwood last month (more on that shortly.) One or more of these might be the way to go. I'm going to look through everything, and if I can't decide I might roll the dice. Works for my crochet projects. :)
