It has been a very cold weekend, more like a weekend in October than early September ! No sooner had I written the last post when ED phoned to see if I wanted to go to n Estate sale with YD and GD; so off we went !
There was a lot of STUFF, but we managed to find some antique jewelry. I just bought a necklace, but the girls bought quite a bit. The prices were the same- $5 for a necklace regardless of their value. The grandfather had been collecting 'stuff' for over 70 years !! There were 30 outbuildings that they have had to go through. YD picked up some glass insulators as well.
After that we stopped into a Farmers' Market which was really just home businesses such as Tupperware. Then off to lunch. GD ate a huge bowl of Wonton soup !
Value Village has just opened up in our city so we popped in there. There was beautiful material ; I am kinda kicking self that I didn't pick up some grey drapery material for the dining room. I did pick up some material to back the English paper piecing quilt and some flesh coloured felt. Mixed in the. With the material were some beautiful saris. The girls also picked up some very expensive shoes - some around the $300 price !!
I added more things onto my list and have nearly checked each one off. I haven't started the book, and I don't think I am going to get to that. As I was madly sewing to get all the hexes done, I started watching Suits . Well, there goes that book.I've changed over my purse and coat; I have to straighten out the sosck drawer, but I'll do that after supper.
Last night I made Round Steak in mushroom gravy; we haven't had that for years !! It was so good with the mashed potatoes and mounds of beans from the garden. Tonight it is a simple supper of pizza - the $5 ones from Superstore ! I might do some baking while I have the oven on for the pizza ~~~ or not !...cause I've ' hit the wall'
