Just Wow!!!!

We have had a lot of overcast days, and snow showers off and on. Chilly winds that are telling tales of winter to come. Thursday morning my side kick Donna and I headed for Vermont. We stayed with our sweet friend Dayle and our other friend from NY Bonnie for a few days. 

On the way to Vermont we hit a wonderful church thrift store and wow did I hit it!!! The cloth I stitched while I was in Vermont. (Dayle gave us each a little kit to stitch while we were there.)

The salt glaze Santa is from Eldreth 8.00!!

The painting is from a very well-known local painter who has her pieces in a few art co-ops here. It has an original 150.00 price tag but I paid 15.00!!

and a brand-new Christmas candle for 1.50.

The dishes in the top pictures I got at another thrift are English and I got 8 for 8.00.

I got these two vests and the Irish wool sweater (made in Ireland) for a total 6.00!! 

And the frosting on the cake!!! is this Christmas Pyramid! I have always wanted one. New in the box 10.00!!! I was so excited by it all!!!!

Dayle also took us around to a few gift shops. This is the sparkle barn I would say it's a good name.

They had the sweetest children's section, but a sweet little girl was playing in it so no pictures. I purchased a few gifts and we headed for an afternoon tea. Really could you ask for a better day in the whole world???

I never would have guessed I would still be having sleep overs at this age but so glad I am so much fun!!!!

So, I will close with something very special. My sweet B got a clutch bag free, and she decided to make it her own. She is not done with it at this point but what a start she has made!!! My amazing talented Grand.

     Have a great week!!!
