So I will never learn! I have so much wool it is now being stored in plastic tubs, but how can I resist bargain wool? One of the guilds I belong to was having a member sale. One of the members is downsizing and had to purge wool . . . and at such a great price! I only purchased four bundles but could have bought many more. All colors I love and many were older wools that I like to have in my stash and are difficult to find.
These two pieces from another member were also a great buy and all the small pieces were freebies from the member downsizing.
Yesterday was one of my favorite antique and primitive shows. I could not pass up going but was hoping to come home empty handed. I'm purging, remember? I should know better 😀 I must say, though, that I was very disappointed in my partners in crime. Friend Laura who always finds a treasure of two and sil Lyn didn't play very nice. Laura bought a bunch of pussy willows and Lyn nada, as in not a thing. Sue, who lives near the fairgrounds where the show is held met us there. She, too, was good (or is it bad?) and only bought an old funnel, I presume for a planter. I don't know if I want to go play again with such dismal-shopping friends 😁
I came home with a few Easter goodies. A vintage papier mache bunny and a small candy mold. One of the mold clips is marked ERMANY. I guess it needs to buy a consonant.
A vintage West German papier mache egg.
I always loved old clock faces and found this one. The start of a new collection? And a piece of a very worn old coverlet.
After being so bad, I need to get back to the attic and work on purging! I am slowly going through boxes. So many trips down memory lane. I am finding things from my college days that haven't seen the light of day in 50 years. Decorating items from decades ago. Things that I saved from my boys, now 44 and and 45. I am keeping a few things but trying to be ruthless in my purging. The items mean nothing to others so it's best to throw things away, give them away and items that have value, try to sell. I definitely have my work cut out for me.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

I KNOW I'd definitely be a better partner in crime. The only problem would be us fighting over the same things. I love your little fluffle of bunnies! I think I have maybe 2 or 3...somewhere. And, of course you know my addiction to chocolate molds. (The buying a consonant cracked me up.) Great additions to your wool stash as well. Isn't that a strange affliction to have? Every time I go to Cathy's certain wools demand to come home with me...and I don't even hook much and rarely draw from my stash. It's just nice to know all those pieces that wanted to come home with me are here. ;-)
That wool purchase was a good bad, me thinks. Your bunny collection is adorable. Like you need to start another collection????
How wonderful to find wool at a great price. I have a few of those vintage bunnies and they are getting expensive now too. Janice
Progress! You limited the amount of wool purchased and that's progress. Congrats.
Great treasures!
A nice colony or fluffle of bunnies you have going. Out with the old in with the new!
Very Awesome Online Digitizing
Love your bunnies ! You can't say No to a bargain of wool , very nice choices !!!
Loveed it Online Digitizing
I have tons of wool I have stashed, in tubs too. But, I could not resist getting those beautiful sets at a bargain. You always find the neatest things at thrifts, ours have gotten full of junk or over priced. Enjoyed looking at your previous posts and the rugs and punched pieces.
What creativity 👏 Thank you for sharing.
