surprise in a shoebox



This whimsical stick pin floated in the bottom of a shoe box containing multiple bottles of craft acrylic paint and some fabric paint.  After sorting through the $1 box (garage sale), I only had to throw away 2 bottles!  And I really enjoy wearing this pin...
 

For awhile, I'm stuck with these jeans -- so I may as well make a game of it!  Today, worn with my green and white striped shirt and denim vest.

It's below 50 degrees!  Another beautiful autumn-feeling day.  A friend is coming over for early coffee or tea.  Then, if I make progress on my research project, I MAY search out a few estate sales advertised in our weekly small-town newspaper.

I know.  I SHOULD go "saling" early...but there's really nothing I need and it's good incentive to put it at the END of my project rather than procrastinating further.

  5. Rebecca, I love your striped tee. Green is so fresh - and of course, one of my favorite colors.

    Darling pin! I think my mom had one that was very similar when I was a kid. I always thought of it as the "flying lady" pin.
