Yucca Valley…

We were almost giddy with excitement as five Clubhouse Quilters crammed ourselves into Kim’s truck!  Our first Road Trip of the Season!!  YeeeHaw!  Now this wasn’t an ‘organized’ trip.  It was a “ya wanna go to Yucca?”  Wham-bam…FULL truck and off we went…!

First stop…Joshua Springs Thrift Store…my all time favourite Thrift Shop!  Even the non-Thifters enjoyed poking around..or at least they appeared to enjoy the ‘experience’.  We all bought something…and had a ball doing it! 

Love this photo..the ‘girls’ don’t look very organized…I’ll have to whip them into shape…

The thing that I love best about this shop is the staging of the merchandise…lovely displays…

P1210519

Check out this old yellow table…I wanted to take this one home with me…strap it to the roof of the RV?

P1210520P1210521

Loved these mottled beach chairs…complete with drink and magazine!

P1210522

See this antique basket…Chris snapped this baby up!!  Gorgeous find!

P1210523

And check out the door…I could see this one in my garden…get rid of the fake flowers and grow some Sweet P’s on it…In love

P1210524

Alas…the table stayed…the door stayed… but I did manage to find a few things to take home with me…if fact we all did!!

P1210518

And then it was off to ‘Fabric Outlet’…just look at these girls…they got themselves organized for photos lickity split…they want to go IN!!

P1210525

This shop is always fun to poke around in…it has a little bit of EVERYTHING! 

 

P1210526

See the far wall…beads and clothing…

P1210527

Lots of fabrics…

P1210528P1210529

I could see this brown and black quilt made out of Daiwabo fabrics…and look…it’s made from HST!  It would be a fast and easy one to make!

P1210530

Darcy was a little overwhelmed…being new to quilting she had fun taking it all in!

P1210531

Check out the button bin…

P1210532

And the button racks…and the rack to the right has all the hand made buttons!!  Gorgeous!

P1210533

And enough notions to give JoAnn’s a serious run for the money!

 

P1210534

I thought these were sweet…zipper pins twisted in the shape of flowers…

P1210535

I ended up walking out empty handed…sometimes looking is all the fun you need!!  Besides nothing was calling my name!

 

P1210536

Then it was off to Mimi’s Quilt Shop…and just look at the girls now…oh they are working it!  They know the drill…haha

P1210538

When we busted through the doors, Mimi commented that because our group came in one vehicle we all received a 10% discount!  Well…You would have thought that we had won the LOTTERY!!  That Mimi is one smart Sales Gal!!

P1210540

We all dropped money here…I found So Fine Thread and bought 4 cones and 2 spools of it…at 10% off!  The others found kits, fabric, notions, books and thread.  Yup…clearly, Mimi KNOWS what she is doing!

Thanks Mimi…we had fun!

P1210541

Our final stop was LUNCH at a new restaurant that Mimi told us about…the Cook House or Bunk House…or Chuck Wagon…or something like that!!  Great food and lots of laughs!

So what did I take a picture of?  The Mason Jar lights of course!!  Dang cute!

P1210542

Yup…I will be ‘Pinning’ these pics as soon as I publish this Post!

P1210544

So ends our trip to Yucca Valley!  We decided that we would have to make this a monthly outing…after all, there are also those monthly trips to Temecula…and wouldn’t it be nice to start a monthly run to the Country Loft, The Fat Quarter Shop and the Grand Country Quilter…?  Just sayin’…it WOULD be fun!

Speaking of FUN…today is my first day back at Clubhouse Quilting!!  Yahoooo!!!

Have a wicked Wednesday and Happy Quilting!~P

  8. Our thrift store doesn't look like that, lol.
    We have consignments that have nice items and antiques and good prices, so I usually go to those for things too.

  12. I have some bad news for you...The Country Loft is no longer in business in Temecula. There is another quilt shop that is new to the area, off the 215 just as it heads east from the 15 North. Take the first exit, turn right, then turn left into shopping center right away! I'm sorry that I don't remember the name of the shop, but if you need more directions, I can be reached at: vicenza74@gmail.com Have fun! Nini
