Treasure Hunt: Part One
I have so much show-and-tell from our vacation, so I better get started.
I didn't really know where to start, so I just picked a place--the Humane Society Thrift Store on 23rd St. in Panama City. We had just visited the Goodwill Store on the same street and didn't find anything that interested us. But the Humane Society store had lots of treasures. I got this pair of hand-embroidered pillowcases for $2.

And this ivory crochet hook, along with two steel hooks, cost me 50 cents.
The sweet little kitty picture below was $1.

The colorful sheet above set me back a buck. I learned from reading Autum's Creative Little Daisy blog what wonderful things can be done with sheets. She makes gorgeous lounge pants from them. I'm thinking of a table cover for my crafting table as a use for this one.
This unopened trapunto pillow kit was $2, as you can see. I don't especially like doing trapunto, but this was too pretty to pass up.
And lastly (which I don't think is a real word), I just had to have the great candle holder below. It's hand carved. I didn't have a candle for it at the beach, but I wanted to photograph it beside Kim's wonderful bird lamp.
Quite a haul, huh? That's all for now. Got to get back to the laundry room. We created a pile of dirty clothes last week.
Invisible Bunnies and Porcupine Chicks
Imaginary animals caught my eye for today's Project Yellow entry. It was extremely difficult to photograph the bunny taper holder because my camera couldn't "see" it...it took me a while to figure that out, too (me <---neophyte photographer :/).
Then there's this little fella. He showed up in Stephen's Easter basket, and I haven't quite figured out what he is. When you slam him against a wall, he flashes light; wish I could've figured out how to capture that, but I guess that's for another time. He does make me smile, though, even when he's not illuminating :).
Anna's Project Yellow continues through tomorrow evening; she's installed a Mr. Linky if you'd like to join the bandwagon--there's no such thing as "too late".
