This Little Piggy Went to Market....

It's been a little while since I had a Shopping Day.....so today I took off to get a few things done.....First I hit Michaels ...to check out their yarn...and then I realized we ARE into September now and fall is just around the corner as well as Halloween.....Britt and I are planning to have an AWESOME Halloween Party so I figured I should pick up a couple things...I got a little Fall Wreath...and a really cute Candlabra..a Halloween Banner( Martha Stewart...I got her Halloween Magazine the other day...lots of GREAT ideas in it!) and I added another building to my Spooky Village....I've been collecting the Lemax Halloween and Christmas Houses for a few years now....

I then Headed over to one of my local Thrift Stores and although the pickin's were slim I did find a few cute things.....I got a wool sweater to felt and use for crafting.....two Cheese boards with domes...I'm going to use the domes with decorative plates.....I got the idea from another blogger but can't remember who.....I'll probably use the wooden bottoms as trivets....maybe I'll decorate them ......and I found a cute little mug.....I've seen similar ones on other blogs and always loved them but never seem to find them...well today was my lucky day.....this one's from France even...how cool.....I LOVE anything French.....

Then I went over to the Knitting Corner for some yummy yarn......I'm in the mood to start Socks again....so I two kinds of Sock yarn and a few hanks of Wool....I plan to use the plain wool on a Ripple Afghan ...I've been collecting various colors for a while now......and with the variegrated one I'll make a felted purse ...I got a few of these skeins at Michaels...the rest from the Knitting Corner.....
