My sister and I decided to take a ride down to Temecula........we visited Quilters Coop first......then we headed over to a cool new wool shop, and then to Temecula Quilt Company........here are some pics from Quilters Coop, and tomorrow I will post the other pics, I took a ton....but blogger is not cooperating with me today....so enjoy this eye candy and tomorrow I iwll post the rest, and all the treasures I found!!!!!!!

A new blog to share..............

After much prodding my sister has started her own blog....AND she even opened an etsy shop!!!! after getting laid off of her job that she held for 20 years, she is having way more fun making these grocery totes and selling them on etsy...AND I think for an amazing price. The red one is only $30.00 and the other one is way less..........go check out all her bags...here...
And pretty please drop her a comment....shes new at this and she would love it!!!!!

not much going on.....

I love this...grandpa carrying his precious cargo.....

well...Auntie Tracey had to go back home to New England, I think it was hard for her to go...she did ask if she could have baby Stella, but her sister said no...


I have been looking for a pink dodger finger ever since I found out about Stella, and I finally found one at the game friday night.......yay! Great game too, box seats....fun night...
I have been gardening....2 of my hostas fell victim to snails...so sad....waited all year for them to show up and now they are almost eaten to the ground. Snails be damned....eat to your hearts content tonight, you WILL die tomorrow!!!

Her magic touch......

While she was here she worked her magic and revamped a few areas of my house......I took some before and afters but not of my island top.....but it was a little dated....

I LOVE this now!!!!!!...before....below...the plates were a little dated..a little too country...

and after....

before.......the island was a bit cluttered....

and after.....

Now Im motivated and inspired to keep going...purging..changing......she said if I dont use it everyday...it should not be out....lol..what a novel idea...
If I dont love it...toss it.
If I dont wear it...donate it...
I miss her already!
