All things that glitter



This is my favorite store in our whole town. And the great thing is it is only a 2 minute walk from our house. I can easily come home with a treasure for less than a dollar! I guess you would categorize it as a "notions store." Piping, ribbons, sequins, lace, buttons, rhinestones, etc. are packed into this little store.

I've recently gotten into piping; used it for Ethan's cape, my entryway curtains and some things I've sewn for my kitchen. I can buy 10 meters of any color under the sun for about .75 c.


So there is my fun little find. Dad has always said "look for the gravy" in hard situations/times. So when days get rough, this little store has been the gravy. They love my kids and are always happy to see me. And just think of all the fun dress up clothes Elli will have as she grows up. :)

Look for the gravy!!! Jenni that is the best thing I've heard in a long time. Hope your dad doesn't mind... I've just found a new phrase!
It's so fun to read about your adventures. You, Austin, & the kids have such fun lives.
