in August we...

...went to San Francisco with Kevin and Shannon for Mike's birthday - Farmer's Market, Ferry Building, Imperial Tea Court and Wayfare Tavern - a great day!!

And Downtown Plesanton with Charlie and Sarah to celebrate both Sarah's and Mike's birthdays (sadly I didn't have my camera so borrowed a photo from FB).  Dinner at home; Therapy; The Wine Steward; Domus; and frozen yogurt.  A very fun evening!!

 More about August next time.....

August began with a Treasure Hunt

Sunday afternoon I went thrifting with two very sweet young women.  It was wonderful, but we wore ourselves out!  Thanks Shannon & Catherine for a very fun day.


Some of my finds:

a rainbow of yarn;
 

 
Three dollars worth of fabric equaling 25 pieces measuring from 1/4 yard to 2 yards each, plus two pieces of batting 

an old bottle with the bottom removed- creating a wonderful chimney for a candle;

lots of old buttons, more yarn, some tiny
clothespins and an embroidery hoop; 

Now I just need to figure out what I am going to do with all of it!
