Saturday's adventure...I went to Lowe's to find old plants for a dollar..a bit of success.
I think that the one above is Sedum.. I do not know.
The bottoms are Mums and pansies..I chopped off the bad and will plant them soon.
On the way home, I saw a garage sale. I have not had the energy for that in forever.
Treasures galore: She wanted only cash.
I only had $31.
FUN!!!! And, I made a new crafty friend. She was moving into a retirement place.
The more we chatted the lower the price went!!

I love baskets!!
A wooden box that had been in her family.
An almost new coffee table I got for $15.
A hall tree
a lamp shade.
All for $31... and a new friend to boot!!!
Saturday was so awesome...I just knew I was fixed.
Then Saturday night came...bam!! the tidal wave again.
I remember 3 months into a grief group, when a lady came in crying.
She was 18 months in and so much in grief.
I thought to myself..Jeeze what is wrong with her????
Still she is singing this song??
Well...now I know..because I am there...The second year is worse.
I managed to flip it into gratitude by sitting by the fake fire with a quilt and a cat.
Just so you know that the O'Quilts family is still somewhat in the normal range
in spite of all of this.
Voila one of my cute trinket boxes.
When I went to put it away...inside...
I found someone's dirty socks!!!!!!

Yes, that is a sedum. I love them because they grow so easily anywhere here and I leave the flower heads on all winter. The snow piles up on them and they look like mushrooms on tall stems.
ReplyDeleteThe fabric you're looking for is a print in the Amy Butler Lark collection. I may have some if you need it. I'm too lazy to go look just now. Let me know.
ReplyDeleteDirty socks in the trinket basket - lol. You found lots of treasures for $31. The woman would have been happy to know her things were going to a good home.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that life -- dirty socks in a cute box.
ReplyDeleteI am glad the day was so good (if you were nearby, I might try to take the hall tree off your hands). The Second Year Tidal Waves, all I can say is hang in there. Talk to us, we listen. And we learn.
I love your quilt! It looks like joyful optimism -- two emotions I'm sure you haven't felt in a while. But maybe they are still there within you, waiting for better days.
