yep, i went on an adventure!!! 

The ladies of my church have started meeting regularly…(check out our blog here!!)…and our big "field trip" this month was to the Round Top Antiques Fair!! 

I picked up three girlies, and we met a fourth at Starbucks to start our little adventure!! The five of us were excited about all of the shopping possibilities. I myself was very excited about all of the quilts, buttons, and other fun vintagy wildness I perpetually am looking for!!

Here are some pics of us. (For some reason I did not take very many pictures…too busy shopping, I guess!!)

(I think mr gorgeous needs one of these in his office!!)

(isn't that gorgeous furniture??? I have to build a new house to fit it in there!!)

(my turkey artichoke casserole that I had for lunch! YUMMMM!!)

(Carolyn's brisket sandwich…she liked it!!!)

(love that bed!!)

(at the end of the day, we had dinner up in NW Houston at McAllister's Deli…it was very yummmmmy! thanks, Linda for taking the pic!)

wanna see what I got???? 

{in this pic: 2 quilts, scrabble tiles, buttons, forks, and lace!}

{I love hand quilting!!}

{other new stuff in this pic: iron and wooden bowl! (i got two wooden bowls!)}

{in this pic: wooden ladder, two quilts, three potato burlap sacks}

{i {adore} this mini quilt!! I hope to create one of these using the same pattern! LOVE!!!}

{This is what is called a "cutter quilt"…that means that it is sooooo worn out, it's only use is to be cut up and made into smaller things. I love to pick up cutter quilts (this one cost 5$!!!!), but I have a hard time cutting them up!! I love these fabrics!!}

All in all, this adventure was fun, filled with laughter, refreshment, (a little too much sun…just a little!), and wonderful new memories!!!

I have to add that I got a little fun exciting mail this week!!

Julie, over at the Intrepid Thread, sent me this package…

I got the Little Apples to make the custom apron from my giveaway! so fun!!!

and the Pernilla's Journey is for a tunic that I'm making! for me!!! eek!!! I'm not so great at clothes, but I am going to turn over a new leaf this new school year!! 🙂 So wish me luck!! Isn't this fabric the perfect design to start with? (or as my grammar-happy 17yo says, "with which to start???" LOL!!)

Julie also sent me this little sampling of the new line, Moroccan Mirage!! Ohhhh we will have to get a bunch of this, won't we??

This new week will see the making of quite a number of projects!! I'll keep you posted through pictures, of course!! Wish me luck!!
