Not to mention all the unique coffee shops and cafes you discover while you are out hunting treasures. It sounds like you found some very nice tops. I wore that white sweater to church yesterday and I can not even remember how many compliments I got on it :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-54407053580820910292015-10-11T22:34:25.431-07:002015-10-11T22:34:25.431-07:00I love the red sweatshirt, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE th...I love the red sweatshirt, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the spools.

I store a lot of my lace and braids in some old leather suitcases that I got from my parents when we were clearing their house before they sold it. They look lovely stacked up on the counter in my studio. One day I shall get around to painting my rather boring small cardboard box storage but there's always something more important to do first - it's nice to have your studio looking nice, isn't it!<br /><br />Thanks for your visit and your lovely comment - glad you like my autumn cards! I thought I'd keep my trees seasonal. We've got a couple of birthdays coming up that I can use them for, if I can make them up into cards in time.<br /><br />ShoshiShoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-19724135257487286962015-10-11T12:35:09.072-07:002015-10-11T12:35:09.072-07:00Thank you for visiting and for your sweet complime...Thank you for visiting and for your sweet compliments :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-51868834297254544632015-10-11T09:07:34.581-07:002015-10-11T09:07:34.581-07:00Wonderful post!

I guess that I just enjoy doing a lot of different things and that wood pile has provided me with many cute signs, shelves and little things like these spools. Turning scraps into usable treasures is fun, whether it is fabric or wood :) Have a sweet weekend and thank you for stopping by :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-87866289957634974112015-10-10T08:19:56.033-07:002015-10-10T08:19:56.033-07:00Good Morning, what a cheerful note to read early i...Good Morning, what a cheerful note to read early in my day . . . you are so kind and have put a little smile on my smile. I'm sitting here with my morning coffee, the windows are open and a fresh autumn breeze is coming through; it feels so good:) I had babied my back for two days and then yesterday I felt like I needed to get out and just go . . . sometimes moving is the best answer for pain . . . well, this morning I feel much better and I'm sure that I'll be back to my normal self before the end of the weekend. I just have to do my back exercises and get it limbered back up. Thank you for asking and for caring about me.

I can't get over you seeing that bead-board and immediately turning it into all those neat little winders for your lace, etc. And, they actually look old fashioned. That is a beautiful sweater you found in Goodwill and the red hoodie too. It's perfect for farming. Makes we want to go in Goodwill. Sure hope your back gets better soon. You take care!

I love the sweater. Lacy tops are so in this year. And of course I love the spools as well. You are always so clever and inventive. But...you said you went to the freezer for hamburger, got side tracked at the wood scrap pile and ended up at the band saw. So...did you ever make it to the freezer or did you end up ordering take-out that day? Just asking....LOL!<br /><br />PS: I love being your blogging sister. :)Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04696267700699612617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-41420830346400173182015-10-08T19:22:30.600-07:002015-10-08T19:22:30.600-07:00Connie, I love those wooden spools.
