After Stopping at ONE pitiful Sale - along the Way - We ended up at The SALLY-ANN... And, headed straight to the tiny "Notions" Section. -- Oooo... Listen! Can You HEAR IT..? -- YARN is Calling!!
A Couple of Weeks ago, One of the CLERKS was sorting out HUNDREDS of Little WOOL Tapestry Yarn Skeins... Lots and LOTS of Colours! However, the PRICE was NOT "Inspiring"... At least to Us, at any RATE! -- I never saw Them again, UNTIL Today...
On top of the Notions Odds & Ends Table/Tray is this BUCKET... With a Sign... 29-Cents Each... Oooo!!
MOTHER had Mentioned that MADAME-Q had Expressed a previous "interest" when informed of the Initial Yarn-Sighting... I gave Her a CALL... Then, grabbing a nearby Basket, I started picking out the PURPLELY Ones - Like Myself, IT's one of Her Favourite Colours.
O-kay... BFF *must* have hit Every GREEN LIGHTS getting There! She showed up LESS than 10-Minutes Later!! -- And, began Filling ANOTHER Basket! I left Her and MOTHER to "PLAY" as I went off to Check Out the Rest of the Place...
150 SKEINS Later...
MOTHER was "Negotiating" a *DEAL* for MADAME-Q with the MANAGER... She GOT Them for 19-Cents Each! -- She is *quite* the Notorious HAGGLER! ..Anyway, I *didn't* Find ANYthing of Worth, and soon, We went Our separate ways...
We paid a Visit to FABRICLAND. There wasn't too much going on, except for THIS Bit of COTTON EYELET... On SALE for $5./Meter, down from $24.?? -- There was only 2-Meters left, so I took the Whole Piece. As usual, I have NO Idea *What* I'm going to DO with IT! But, I liked the Dark CHOCOLATE Shade - and, EYELET is *always* FUN!
Meanwhile... It HAD been rather Nice & SUNNY, Earlier... However, Nasty CLOUDS were beginning to move in! We headed over to THE MALL. JUST *IN* Time!
And, whilst Meteorological Mayhem "Washed" The CAR, We were perusing the Clearance Racks of JOE FRESH... There were several Great Buys! And, THEY were giving away Their TOTE BAGS for FREE "with Purchase" this Week! -- Always Handy!
When We came OUT, so had The SUN! -- hmm... The Clouds, They *missed* a few Spots...
OH! I almost *FORGOT*! -- It's SISTER and BIG-D's ANNIVERSARY Today!! They should be on Their ALASKAN CRUISE right Now...
