Oh dear......... looking forward to buying buttons for a baby jacket, and discovered the shop is closed ! The worst thing was, the wool and needles were still visible through the window..... so near, yet so far. So many shops are closing down in the shopping centre :o( So I decided to treat myself...

Our church had a rummage sale Friday afternoon and yesterday. I didn't get to look at much stuff, as dh and I were in charge of sorting the books, and we had a HUGE amount. (105 cases altogether, when sorted). However, just before we opened I was walking past the "boutique" table, and saw a...
