Where does it all come from anyway???

How I get so much to post about baffles me…where does it all come from anyway.

I try and keep my posts short so not to bore you and loose you half way through but if you knew me personally you would know right away that it’s an impossible thing to expect…I’m a chatter box when I have something to say – so if you guys are all still here after 4 years of my ramblings then I guess you all know me quite well!  Thanks for hanging in there with me.

Fun day yesterday at the Elkhorn flea market…always find something I have to have there – guess it’s one of the rules of going to a flea market…’Don’t come home empty handed’ – and I don’t!!!

Very large basket…$5
I’m going to re-arrange the baskets hanging from the beams in the family room to make room for this one.

Very large Green Crock Bowl – can’t seem to get the color right but it’s like the Jadite ware $10

And a pair of child’s Cobbler forms $2
 

And last…2 Army blankets for more Penny Rugs
$10 and $15
These are becoming very hard to find – especially the made in USA ones.

I will continue with this post – no sense disappointing you all now! lol

I have been on the search for some wool on Craig's list and Saturday I typed in ‘wool’ and this is the first thing that came up....a hooking frame and other things with it.
I e-mailed the seller and luck had it that she lived 1/4 mile from the flea market we were going to yesterday...you could see the fairgrounds from her place (she lived in the country).

Anyway...she was asking $50 for the whole lot.
Well - I got lucky here as I was looking for a frame that tilted and swiveled – and it did! (mine is like it but is stationary).
In the box was this:
*FRAME
*PATTERNS and KITS
*EXTRA WOOL STRIPS
*HOOK
*INSTRUCTION BOOK
*SOME SMALL WOOL PIECES
Guess it was my lucky day!

I may pull the wool already hooked on the ones, and do my own version.

 

Saturday we went to Delafield to NOOKS & CRANNYS shop
Denise who owns the shop has some of my products and I was picking them up because it’s what was left from consigning and after awhile you need to freshen the stock.

Denise as her usual ‘generous’ self gifted me with some more wool…I bought the 2 black pieces and the one grayish one on the left..she gave me the other 3 pieces plus some cute felt Tulips she made.
I know you would love her shop so if you live near by or want a days outing head on over to Delafield, WI – lots to see and do there.
After I get more information from Denise I will add her to my list of Wisconsin shops on the tabs.

 

 

Remember the sand pail??? Well it finally got a plant in it – some vines and not sure what the purplish one is – just liked it.

 

I didn’t post pictures of the Aidan and Miranda’s birthday from last Saturday because I had way too much going on in my last post as it was.
Aidan turned 5 on June 20th and Miranda turns 1 on July 3rd…so they had these 2 special birthdays together.  Kids got so many gifts it was incredible…and guess what, Aidan got to open all of them (Miranda’s too) because she just didn’t want to sit still long enough.

 

Aidan with Miranda and their cousin P-Joe (from Tennessee)
 

And I will leave you with this baby Wren…on Monday we saw him jumping around in the grass then trying with all is might to climb the tree – never did make it.

When I went over near it to take the picture he scurried into the base of the tree where there was a little hole he could go into.
