What's a girl to do when something comes to town?  Of course, attend it.   This I did to support my F.A.A. group.  Welcome members–

It took 3 1/2 hours of walking, shuffling, digging through the many boxes of goodies to find the perfect things to add to my collection.  There was sooo much to see!  My eye was on spot for linens, quilts, buttons and dolls.  I ended up with something from each category except for doll.  They were out of my league and to tell you the truth, they weren't ones I was looking for…so really no loss there.

The first purchase was a bunch of sewing bobbins– all teal, but just perfect for a party favor.

To add to the bundle of bobbins, I got a bundle of scissors. {pink. oh yeah.}

MMMM  buttons—  A whole half of a pickle jar!  {I have to split it with my mom. the hazards of shopping together}

10 doilies to use on a composition book covers + a cute little hotpad:

After perusing the piles of quilts, I ended up with one that isn't hand done, no hand quilting, and isn't anything extra special…but just right for me. Ending up as a cutter quilt– so many cute things will end up from this baby!

And, hey I like coo-ky things. You know that all ready don't you?  So I picked up this little birdie-  It is sitting on a music box and works!  when you play the music the bird moves back and forth in a jerky motion. Cute. Love it.

Do you mind if I share the prices?  i got the quilt for $29, the button jug for $10 oh. yeah. I was running to the car afraid I would get arrested for stealing!

Now, just to tease you with the goodies that you missed {so did I } here is a little show for you–

I love the sign— Treasures $3.00

It's your turn to share.
