MAY I...?

Hi Folks!!!

well...here it is May the 3rd already...

....wow, that snuck up on me!

Today was spent at the Fishersville, VA Antiques Expo~
Hannah & I braved the cold stinging rain
to venture into the buildings at the expo
that were just LOADED with goodies
for the antiques/primitives lover!

a couple of my favorite dealers were there,

Don and Donna Smith ~

and Ann Bedics

I picked up a few black shoe-buttons for use as eyes for my mohair bears,
some antique velvet, some millinery flowers and an awesome frame (above)
and Hannah found some pin-back buttons from the 1980's that depict rock bands,...

Although there was MUCH stuff
that the two of us could have easily purchased,
we both patted ourselves on the backs for being frugal...

It was a nice Mother/Daughter day and I always enjoy being with her...
she cracks me up sometimes,
and her 'eye' for really good stuff is phenominal for a 14 yr. old!
(but then again, the apple doesn't fall far....) LOL!

I'd like to remind everyone that our
Beginner's Cross Stitch Sampler Class

will be this coming Saturday, May 9th, from 10-2
here at the shop...
You'll learn how to create those really old looking samplers that you love so much...
AND yes, your samplers will be ON LINEN, so if you need or wear glasses, bring them along!
Each student will create a one of a kind small school girl styled sampler....

If you've signed up for the class, see you soon!

If you'd like to, please e,mail me at not4got@aol.com & I'll squeeze you in~
Class Fee + Materials is $30.00 per student.

I've spent the last couple of days sewing bear bodies ...
...so far I have 1 big boy almost ready to go to a good home,
I'll list him this evening on ebay...

Well friends, I'm off to finish this bear,
make something for him to hold and get his auction up ...
Have a relaxing evening doing what you love most...

Blessed be!
