A Sweet Find by Maura

Not a couch.

Take a look at what granddaughter Maura texted me today. Unexpected.

Not the run of the mill couch or any old chair!

How Many Market Bags Do You Have? a guest blog

Colleen’s colorful market bags

Joanne took the photo and asked ….

“How many market bags do you have? Colleen has well over 30! But to be fair, she does live in Canada where you have to provide your own bags when shopping…”

Are there any insulated bags in her collection?

I have at least ten. There are so many different styles. I do have knitting in some of the market bags used as project bags so I’d better up the number to fifteen. The ones in the trunk of my car number seven.

I’ve gone into the store and left the bags in the car. oops!

Seasonal Yard Art in Toronto Ohio

First Saturdays there’s knitting at Tri B’s Coffee Shop.

My friend Lisa and I drove down on Saturday morning to be part of the knitting and crochet group.

This is what we saw on the way home. Quick Lisa, grab my phone and take some pictures. An unwitting guest blogger now!

No more photography for me at traffic lights. There’s a $650 fine for touching your phone when the motor is on- even if you’re stopped at a red light.

So thank you Lisa. You just don’t see July Fourth inflatables everyday.

And look at those lush flowers.

And what a surprise by Alicia’s mother, Faith. Remember the 40th bday cake complete with fountains she created for her daughter’s fortieth?

P.S.

Look at these delicious birthday cupcakes (3 flavors) and how about the yarn ball napkins? Thank you Alicia and Faith for the birthday surprise.
