Sewing Junk…the LOOT…

I know…I know…you have all been waiting with bated breath to see what I bought from Sunday’s Junk Shop Shopping spree…

Yes, I managed to pick up a few bargoons…

P1220955

Like these old spools of wool thread…

P1220956

A mini Baby Brother…and it works too!  Just needs a good buffing!

P1220957

Two old sewing lunch boxes…great for storing buttons, threads…what have you…

P1220958

I loved this old Borden’s milk jug…

P1220959

And this old Simplicity tin…

P1220960

And an old tin wall plaque…complete with a dribble of paint in the left corner…P1220961

I’m happy with my loot and all of it will look great in my sweat shop back home!

Speaking of HOME… we said a final farewell to our friends in the park yesterday…and now it’s time to head ‘er home!  What a great time we’ve had this season…lots of good friends…some new…lots old!  From yoga, to Clubhouse Quilting, to our desert hikes, to all our meals out…some new restaurants..lots old, to our BBQs and pot-lucks, to our girl time walks where we talk faster than we could possible walk…to our shopping and trips to JoAnn’s and of course the Quilt Shops, and Road to California, and Hemet Quilt Show…what a great time!! The list goes on…. So many good times and I will miss them ALL!  Man, I love it down here!  But home is good too…and I can’t wait to get back!

So this morning we will hook up our house on wheels and off we go to Pismo Beach, where we will stay for two or three days and reconnect with the Ocean…then it will be on to Monterey…and up then up the Coast to HOME!

Life doesn’t get any better than this!!

Have a terrific Tuesday and Happy Quilting!~P

  17. I love your little brother sewing machine, very cute.

    I have a couple of bobbins that have thread some that don't. I've wrapped some with velvet ribbon to store it and put it on display.

    I'm leaving tomorrow to head down to Monterey. Maybe we will bump into each other along the road!

    In any case have a safe journey and enjoy the sights.
