96 Cent Queen


No this Apple Pecan Coffee was NOT 96 cents.
DH made this last night for the office crew to have today.
Another fella is bring in French Onion Soup for lunch.
Hummmm good eats I must say!
With this horrid nasty blowing windy snow day will be a good warm lunch!

Yesterday I had medical appts so was out an about.
I have not had a thrift store run in a goodly while.
Also no quilt shop stops either. I know SAD!
So on my way back home ..the LONG way.. I got both in!!
I had a very good day out other than the medical stuff!!

I am the 96 cent Queen of the thrift store according to my Sweetie niece!
I have an uncanny way of digging out those deals!


This fabric was in a bag with some other things(for another post) all for 96 cents!
The fat qts, 1/2 yard cut shirting, 1 pc of pretty Waverly and 1.5 yrds of the other which I LOVE!
No ..no idea yet for them..it will come;-)
*
Now hold on to your blogging hat for next one!

WOOL!!! Yes WOOL!! SCORE!!!
Each 96 cents each!
Each a half yard cut!
I went in looking for some wool skirts or pants in my pear colors.
Did not find any but hey these will work in future projects!!!


This is the project on the wool thimble today!!
Yes has to be done next.
Sort of appropriate as we are getting snow that was suppose to be a 'mix' only and mostly rain!!
Gales up to 50 at times they are saying and I believe them!!
Wanted to get this posted before we lose power!!
It has blinked a couple times already.
More of my 96 cent bargains and quilt shop visit in later posts!!!

My pals north of me STAY WARM AND DRY!!!

    Stay in now and keep warm with your wool! It's snowing and blowing here too, but we only have 4 inches or so...could have been a lot worse!

  6. GREAT buys indeed!!! The weather is much more than frightful here as several businesses and at least one school in our county have had roof collapses today. I am wishing this weather would go out over the ocean and never give us anything like it again.
