I Love This Store!

Sarah's

Yesterday(Tuesday) hubby said let's get out of here for a while. I think we were both in desperate need of a day out. So we went to one of our favorite places, Lawrence. It is about 64 miles one way. There are 3 places we love to visit there. The first one being Sarah's  It is the nicest fabric shop that I have been in and the biggest. I always have trouble deciding what I want to get.By the way, this is only half of the front part of the store. I usually restrict myself to 5 or 6 one yard cuts of the fabric I like the most. Here is what I got, I have been buying some different fabrics at her shop for several months now. I am saving up for something special . These will blend in beautifully with what I have already.

 

Then we like to go to this place called the Bargain Barn. Mostly tools, fishing stuff all that sort of things. They do buy outs I think but they always have something there. Last time I got some bubble mailing envelopes for my Bees Knees project, they were only 49 cents each. This time I got some garden gloves for $1.49 but they are just like the gloves I have for free motion quilting. Only the ones I have cost me like $8.00

On to the thrift store. They opened up a nice big thrift store over there. I got some sheets for the backs of quilts the last time I was over there and this time I got some more. The bottom one is flannel and will go on that blue coin quilt I just made, it is going north so it will need the extra warmth up there. The yellow one in the middle is a twin size and it had not even been washed. Those two were $2.99 each and the top one with the butterflies was $1.99. It was worth the trip over there for just the sheets. 

We had a good day and really needed the break.  I see everyone says they take a mini vacation well I guess we had a micro-mini vacation since we were only gone for the day. Oh and hubby wanted to go to Cabala's ( which I posted about once here )so we went over there too. Sometimes I guess we all just need to get away for awhile. Today is back to the old grind but we feel a bit more relaxed about it. I think I will need another micro-mini vacation soon.....like before Sarah sells out of that one fabric I had to leave there, LOL.
