Let's go shopping, let's go shopping...

That is what I did today!  Saks 5th Avenue?  No...Gucci?  No...Nordstrom's no? 

Yeah right.

I went to a much more fabulous place.  The thrift store.  Oh yeah baby!

Forget about designer everything - things with history have much more appeal to me.  I like a hankerchief with history...lol...lots of nose blows.  I like a picture frame that has been hung for 50 years and a chair that has been sat on and the sun has faded it's velvet trim...I LOVE these things.

Today I went downtown.  But now remember when I say downtown, I am not talking about in the city.  I went downtown in the country...see - here is my downtown.

I went in the thrift shop and found some lovely things.  Buttons, picture frames, an old antique velvet chair in pink - oh yes, I said pink.  I found some fabrics and buttons and pearls and little odds and ends...I am a happy camper.  I got 20 items for $20.47 - and remember - one of them is an antique chair...lol...I think I know how to shop!   Fun day guys - lots of smiles and sunshine here!  How was your day??

Let me share also my new doll...

Sunflower Annie - she is primitive...not my usual whimsy girl - but I love her!  She is holding a sunflower that my Stephie of Little Mama's Primitives made!  I love her!  Both - the doll and the fab Stephie!

Here is her Etsy Page - just click here!

I am thinking about starting a challenge blog - where I will do weekly challenges, things that are fun and motivating and require us to use our creative energy.  Shannon from Cinnamon Stitched Primitives thought this would be fun and keep everyone motivated and inspired.  This would be for ACOL members and non members?  What do you think guys...I need feedback before I can begin...

Have fun - smile a bunch!
