Where Did September Go!?

Where did September go? Come to think of it, where did July and August go as well?
Well, here is a bit of the past months....

 We sold our home in Washington and hit the road for California.

 My dearest friend, and I haven't seen each other in over 8 years... long over due!

 Did a lot of house hunting to find the perfect one...

 Went to a Rodeo and the County Fair..

 Moved into our new home...

And now the fun begins.... transforming the house into our home.... stay tuned... we'll be ripping, stripping, painting, planting and lots more fun things...
Another beginning..... back in California.....

Oh Autumn....

 Wowzers! we got a great down pour of much needed rain,,,  The weather is cooling down and Autumn sunsets are here....

In the mean time,,, Gary & I are busy cleaning up the house we just bought... this is the view from my kitchen window....
Tomorrow the fridge and lawn tractor arrive.....
The new carpet gets installed in 10 day and hopefully our personal stuff that has been sitting in storage up in Washington will arrive around the same time.
I can hardly wait to get nesting into our new home..... and ready for the Holidays...

Old Sewing Basket.....

 I carry sewing projects in my blue floral tote when traveleing.... and while up in Oakhurst, junktiquing I found this lovely mid-century JC Pennys  sewing basket....

 Oh be still my heart.... it was full of goodies, lots of unfinished hand stitchery projects but best of all,,, the little "Sun Bonnet Sue" felt needle holder.

 'Sew' cute....

lift her skirt and there are the sewing needles... how cute is this and easy to make!

Laurie Lewis Bluegrass Music

To keep ourselves busy while we wait for Escrow to close... we have been shopping, sightseeing and attending events in the community... like this one,,, it was a bluegrass concert featuring Laurie Lewis and her band... Awesome music, fun evening and I look forward to more of her concerts. 

Coarsegold Peddler's Faire.. 2013

 I had way to much fun at the Peddler's Faire in Coarsegold, Calif... My first find was a Bling Ring...
 and then all these sweet little vtg. linens and yet another apron... because you can never have enough aprons!

Then I came across these 'orphaned' earrings,, and you know me,,, I can't resist vtg. jewelery!
As soon as we get the house into Escrow... and get our household furnishing shipped down here I can start playing in my (new) craft room again!
