Its a nice wintery, rainy day today! Only the 2nd one of the season, so I'm excited!
This was the first year ever I did not shop on Black Friday! Well, not a mall or outlet stores anyway! I even made a RETURN!! And I'm not even sure if that's legal on Black Friday...no doubt that will come up on my next security clearance process [ggggggrrrrr.... can you just hear the investigator "now, tell me, Black Friday, 2009, is there anything you would like to talk about? hhhhhmmmmmm???? As he/she/it holds the return receipt in his/her/its hand....] ok, far too much coffee and paint fumes this morning.
I was too exhaused to shop and too many other unfinished projects to work on. I did pack the bunnies and we took them to a sweet little fabric store 'in the country' about 30 miles inland. This adorable shop has the most beautiful fabrics for only $14.00 per yard (I say 'only', it sounds reasonable to me; I'm not certain as to what fabric should cost...its better than the $40 per yard in Los Angeles last weekend!) So I bought a few yards for upcoming projects. This little shop has knitting classes and the little hats and handwarmers, that I could potentially make, were so adorable. I want to take a class in January when the classes resume. I want to make some handwarmers! (no, I have never knitted in my life...)
At 9:00pm after a long run and a 1/2 hour on the eliptical, I was feeling really antsy, as if I hadn't shopped in, I don't know, years...And NO the bag containing $125 worth of fabric and trim sitting innocently waiting to be formed in to a lovely window treatment did not count...so when Edgar returned from his work out at the gym. we went to a little shopping center a miles or so away and I returned a few things at Marshalls. I roamed the store for a 1/2 hour, but nothing called out to me. Edgar found some great Italian shoes, however, so he actually had a great time!
This is my Laundry by Shelly Siegel coat that I bought for $145.00 (that is not a typo!) a month or so ago. Honestly, do I look like a mushroom?? It is down-filled and I'm hoping it will be warm on very cold days because I freeze)...What do you think? I'm still contemplating keeping it....
