All Dressed Up and No Place to Go…

I wandered the streets of Palm Springs in my stilettoes and rhinestone dress looking forStar STARSStarbut the only ones that I found were on the sidewalks!… Literally in the CEMENT!!

No STARS walking around downtown…

P1110254

Not even a STAR at Starbucks!  Sheesh…

P1110255

BUT…I DID see this motorhome parked outside of the Conference Centre where the Palm Spring Film Festival was being held…see the name on the back…WHOOPI!  Now I know Whoopi has a motorhome that she travels in (she is afraid of flying)…but could THIS be HER mini mansion on wheel?  Surely not…I’m mean it’s nice but certainly not STAR quality! (if you know what I mean!)

Alas we will never know…

But I did find this guy….

Yup, it’s Elvis and he was still hiding on my digital camera photo card amongst the left over photos from Pismo Beach!!  So I did find a STAR…although he WAS a bit stiff!

I found the Real Elvis lurking around at the Quiltin’ Cousins in Pismo Beach.  So all these year he wasn’t dead but quietly running a Quilting Shop in Pismo Beach!!  Always liked Elvis!!

I forgot all about the Quilting Cousins!  One of my favourite shops too!!  I think it was because I could take my time and REALLY poke around in it. (It’s a short walk from the RV Park!!)

A sweet little girl’s quilt in the window…

A very nice lady behind the counter…encouraging me to take photos…she was busy getting ready to go to the Road to California as a vender.

P1110213

Tons of yummy fabric…

And GORGEOUS WEEK’S WOOL!!! 

P1050140

AND Patterns for wool projects!!

P1050141

Lots of books…

P1110215

Patterns and threads….

P1110216

Yes, I had fun poking around the Quiltin’ Cousins…(do you think Elvis is one of the cousins??)

P1110208

And then I was off back to the Pismo RV Village…down the street towards the Pier…

P1110207

Turn LEFT…and over the bridge…..

(HELLO Mr. Seagull)

P1110202

…and HOME!

Ahhhh…some good memories…

Have a super Sunday and Happy Quilting!~P

  3. Looks like a lovely little quilt shop I could do some major damage in!
    Oh how I wish I was with you in the Sunshine! We are in the middle of a crazy storm here in Alberta! Tons of snow and it won't stop. You don't know what you are missing ;)

  6. I gotta say that I would much rather see the sights in a quilt shop compared to looking for the "stars!".

  9. I was thinking of you this morning with your stash of wool. I am trying to finish a little mat and my supply is so limited. I found one wool shirt at the thrift store and my DH took it to wear. If you were at home I'd come and plunder your stash....and now you get to go to these great stores where they sell lovely wools!

  12. Maybe it's too cold for the stars to be down in Palm Springs right now. I saw Whoopi one time when I used to work in Century City, she was sitting on a wall outside Gelson's market drinking a smoothie.

  13. I think Whoopi is the type to be in a camper..she's down to earth person..and wow.. love that shop... eyepoper..I'm sure you'll get to see more stars... have a great day...looking forward in seeing more..

  14. That was a yummy quilt shop! Thanks for the tour and for the sunshine pictures. We had sunshine today, but that went hand in hand with several inches of snow and temps in the teens-F.
