a good weekend for treasures

 Happy sweet day to you!
I finished another pretty star, and am loving how quick they are to make compared to the hexies, but I still love making those, too!
 These sweet pinwheels arrived for my quilt from the lovely Kerri of Sew Deerly Loved!! Aren't they pretty!
 Well, it was such a good weekend for lots of sweet new treasures!! The two estate sales I went to were so reasonable with prices, which was such a nice change, and no tax! :)
I found some Christmas goodies, linens, a beautiful lace tablecloth, plastic roses, a darning kit, and...
 One sweet item that I was excited to find was this darling rose hankie wash bag, with this cute typed poem attached.
 My cute new puppy pillow all washed and bringing some charm to my home!
 The second estate sale I only went the second day for half-off and came home with these adorable quilt blocks. I just love the kitties!!
  Some Halloween goodies!
 Wooden checkers, honeycomb bells, crocheted books,buttons, cards, and some lovely blue and silver ornaments that will be great for 4th of July!
And, these beautiful bread doilies, and a neat cook book from 1925. So, I think I am good on treasures for the next month! 

Well, wishing you all a lovely and creative week! And, sorry if I haven't come by to visit with you. I plan to be catching up and seeing what you have been up to today!

    My friend and i have often commented on how expensive estate sales in TX are and then they charge tax on top of that! I haven't been to any here in MO yet, hopefully it won't be the same. I love your new treasures!

    Holy cow! You found so many cute things, Heather! I think the hankie poem/shirt was meant for you. Couldn't you make something similar, but stitch the poem on it? Too cute! And I Loooove the animal quilt blocks!
    What fun things!

    I love the star pattern! Can't wait to see what you do with it; I'd love to see a patriotic red, white and blue star on a towel. Nice work!
