A Very Happy Saturday!

Last night turned out to be
 a very productive sewing night for me!
I was able to assemble all the kite blocks
for a little quilt I'm working on.
Maybe I'll get a chance to complete the quilt top
this coming week and add it to my ever growing
collection of unfinished projects :)
I also found what I think is the perfect red fabric
for my bedroom quilt.
It has both the shades of red I need and I love
the small floral print! 

And then today my handsome hubby and I
took a small road trip to Carlsbad.
We had a picnic lunch
and then went to some of our favorite
antique stores and even found a new one!
How stinkin cute are these Russian nesting dolls?
Can you believe the amount of hand painting that
someone did on these little beauties?
I mean the detail in the eyes is insane!
Look at that teenie tiny one!
Can you believe that I only paid $2.95 for this set?
I know right?

And then my hubby found these Delft hand painted
salt & pepper shakers in the shape of the Dutch row houses?
I love Delft, but not the traditional plates with windmills.
I collect unique pieces that speak to me
and these were screaming my name!!!

All in all, a terrific weekend so far!
Hope yours in wonderful too!!!
