THANKS--

You made my day--
and 'yes' it was--
This year was the 'quietest' birthday I have had in a long time--
but I still had me some fun!!!
and I do really want to thank everyone for the comments yesterday--
I really was startin to worry if anyone was reading--
I don't mind that you don't leave comments--
just as long as you are still reading me and enjoying the posts!!!

So what did I do to celebrate today--
I started my morning off as usual--
breakfast and then some hand quilting-- actually worked on the Sunbonnet Sue block of her blowing out her birthday candles--how cute!!!
Then decided I needed to shopping--
here is the stash when I got home--
Oh you can't see anything--
well let's unload the bags--
this is from the paper bag--what is it--have no idea--but I liked it--
it is wood with alot of 'dirt and such' on it--nice wood under it--
only I kind of like it this color??????
Got this at my antique shop up on the hill--
and Sherman gave me this--
Little --
tea cup and saucer for my birthday and to go in the doll china cabinet--pretty!!!
at the other shop up on the hill--
I still had some credit--and I wanted to use it up--
so here is what I got from there--
three drinking glasses--
two little cups--that just spoke to my heart!!
and--
a cute silver spoon, glass frog, and an old wood hanger--
not sure how I am going to use the hanger or where--
but I do know that I have lots of stuff that will display nice on it!!!!

Now to back up this story--a wee bit!!!
I left here at 11:30am--but the shops up on the hill did not open until noon--
so I just had tooooo---
shop in the quilt shop which was open--until noon--right????
and here is my 'loot' from there--
the two magazines where older issues and on sale for $2 each--
and I have already found a couple patterns in each of them that are now on my 'to make' list!!!!
And I made one more stop--
at our animal thrift shop--
Do you see what is on top of the bag????
Remember about a year ago I got the doll on the right side from there---
she is a hand made one--
but the new gal is boughten as it has a cloth body and no markings that I can find--
but then I bought her to keep dolly#1 company-soooo!!!
guess I need to name my two new gals, hu?????
any suggestions????
After reading for a couple hours after lunch--
I did clean up the white dresser--
and it is white against the doll cabinet!!!
I have to find something to paint over this cabinet--
but that means sanding, and dust--neither of which agrees with me!!!

One more quick story--
about Miss Gracie--
My daughter sent me an email birthday card--
it is 5-6 cats singing Happy Birthday--
well--Miss Gracie heard it and she went nuts--
and she ran around here actually --growling--
like a dog--it was really funny!!!

Hugs, Di and a growling kitty!!!!!

I wish I could have been there with you to help celebrate your birthday Di! It looks like you had a bunch of fun and got lots and lots of wonderful bits of this and that to make your heart sing! Gracie is so funny... my dog did the same kind of thing with one of those musical birthday cards. Cracks me up!
