New Bargains

Okay, I know it's been awhile but lately nothing has been happening to talk about. But I did go to my favorite thrift shop and I found this pillow. I love these colors. The one side feels like a straw that has been dyed and the back is fabric with a nice zipper so that you can take the pillow out. I don't think that I would wash this in the washer but hand wash it. This is the best part for me. I'm going to use this as my new passport holder when I go to Brazil. This has 3 zipper compartments with a long string handle so that I can wear it under my clothing. This still had the original tag on it!!!

This is the cutest bag in bright colors but it's made of umbrella fabric and there is a zipper in the bottom with an umbrella!! I can take this to work and if it rains I'll have my umbrella hand right in the bag but it doesn't take up any room!

I love my bargains you know!! LOL

I've been playing around with some yarn as I want to make a granny square afghan (they call these blanket in the UK) as I follow several UK blogs and these are beautiful!! These are not the 70's granny squares. I did make one in the 70's and wish I still had it.

I've also been sewing a table runner, then place mats and then pillows to match for the chairs. I've had a really good time doing that and I think that I may do more as they would be easy to store and you could change them out as you got tired of them. I'm making all of these reversible so that I can use them for two seasons. I have them sandwiched so I'll show you when I finish!!

Hope everyone is having a good week-end!!!!!!!!
