sheep in the city

What was old...is new again.

First let me say that I love hanging out with my knitting friends, I know, I say this all the time. But what makes it even more fun...unexpected presents. That might sound silly and immature, but I'm not ashamed to admit that I love fun little presents. It's not like it has to be some million dollar thing, it could be a gumball, but it means that you saw something and thought of me. Why am I talking about presents? Is it my birthday? No, not yet:) But at our little get together on Tuesday, Cathi gave me the funniest bag of goodies! She gave me some of her leftover, and now discontinued LB CottonEase in Bubblegum, a cd, some "Candy bling, for Miss Thing" (as Cathi put it) Hello Kitty shoe charms that you can use for stitchmarkers, and a little kitty zippered pouch. So fun! Thanks Cathi!
Now...check out my find of the week...no make that month! It's a vintage circular needle. Could the colors be any cooler?! It's very Lily Pulitzer, don't you think? I am thinking about framing it and hanging it in my studio for inspiration! They just don't package needles like this anymore!

Those weren't the only vintage needles that I bought. I scored big time at one of the newer stores here in town. It's called Colorful Yarns. I enjoyed talking with the owner, and I love that they are selling vintage needles...and for almost nothing! I have a great collection of old needles that just makes me happy looking at it. Jesse really liked the needles too! He came right over to sniff them out and investigate, silly cat!
