WE "CELEBRATED" WITH... FATHER Viewing the HOCKEY PLAYOFFS and Me, Taking MOTHER Shopping... Originally, We had "Planned" on going DOWNTOWN to Visit The NATIONAL WOMENS' SHOW at the OTTAWA CONVENTION CENTRE...
However...
I really wasn't Feeling all THAT "Enthused" about having to Take a BUS There - on a SATURDAY - with MOTHER in-tow, and THEN, have to BATTLE Our way through the PRESSING-HORDE-of Overly-Perfumed-Blinged-Out-LEMONed-20-SOMETHINGS bent on Achieving Whatever-"TREND"-of-the-Week-FASHIONISTA-NIRVANA!
Besides, for the Admission-Price, the FREEBIE-Stuff just AIN'T What IT Used to BE!
Anyhoo, AS IT turned out, *HAD* We Gone, I would have MISSED OUT on a *much* more Beneficial "HOARD"!! -- Is "56-Years" the "YARN-Anniversary"..?
THIS, is just a SAMPLE "Representation" of My Conquests!
We headed for TRAINYARDS on the Theoretical Assumption, and *HOPE*, that perhaps, MOST of the Regular-Mindless-MARSHALLING-MASSES would *instead* be DOWNTOWN Today..?
-- Looks like IT...sorta.
MICHAEL'S had THE Smaller BERNAT BALLS for a Dollar...
I haven't Seen That BLUSH-PINKish Shade before - Got a Dozen.
Nor, the DARK-DENIM in Larger BALLS - got 20 of THOSE smaller ones instead. - [I probably *shouldn't* have as IT later turns out...]
And, of course, the Usual 40%-OFF-COUPON Purchase of WOOL.
Since Our Visit was on the Briefer-side, We Ventured over to MARSHALL'S... THEY DO have some rather Stylish LITTLE-GIRL-DRESSES that would Look quite Chic on LITTLE-PRINCESS-BIG-RED.
We went. We SAW. We Chatted-up a Few People. We LEFT. We Circumvented to WALMART ahead of the Shopping-Curve... -- Just got a bit of Groceries.
Where, THESE were "given-a-New-Home"!
IT's *NOT* like I don't ALREADY have SEVERAL, but, THEY are ENGLISH-Made. -- And, for just $1.68 for the WHOLE LOT, *neither* was I going to Say,
"NO"!
MEANWHILE, at the Soon-To-Be-CLOSING-ZELLERS...
hmm... IT would *appear* that SOME of Those COTTON-YARN-FACTORY-ENDS Packages [that I have NOT Seen in *AGES*!!]
have been "RE-Discovered" from the INVENTORY-ROOM!?!
oh. look... THEY ARE **ON-SALE** FOR ONLY **$4.89**!!??
I *BOUGHT* ALL ELEVEN!!
Remember that BUNCH of DARK-DENIM..? Well. There were TWO-[never-seen-before]-Packages of the SAME Colour!! -- Got 6 of That "RAINBOW-ish" Mix - [I call IT "CRAYZOLA"]. The REMAINING
3-BAGS contained Numerous BALLS of Those OTHER-COLOURS.
TIME to get BACK to My CROCHETING!!
