I do go to Big Lots a few times a month. They have a nice selection of yarn but it's rarely anything other than acrylic variations. Jump right in on knitting socks! I'm a lefty knitter and figured it out by watching youtube and reading patterns. It's not nearly as difficult as it seems it would be. Can't have nekkid feet when it's cold!<br /><br />BlessingsLesleyAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15029775769456404573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-62212292022112368592013-08-19T06:55:54.904-04:002013-08-19T06:55:54.904-04:00Lovely books, indeed.

And Ollie's carries lots of Christian books, and their prices are terrific. <br />I would enjoy the anticipation of the soda as much as the actual event, too.<br />Standard Poodles do have an interesting history (having had one) Apparently some of the absurd haircuts were to keep joints warm, but not have a heavy coat that would weigh them down in the water.<br />Isn't canning wonderful? I am canning several times a week right now. Have always thoroughly enjoyed it, and of course, it's such a better product!<br />Love your use of the word churlish. And Charles Swindoll is terrific, too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-58035622043080603062013-08-13T20:46:25.799-04:002013-08-13T20:46:25.799-04:00What a treasure trove!

I do ...What a treasure trove! Lots of fun ahead :) <br />I do not enjoy driving for errands, and put it off as long as possible. I've been needing some kind of footwear other than crocs and barn boots since winter, but just don't want to spend a minimum of 2 hours driving and who knows how long in a shoe store. Not a great shopper, me.<br />Guns and Gardens! I picked up a copy about 5 years ago, on a rare trip to an actual Book Store, doing research for possible freelance markets. I never pitched an article to them, but it's one of those rare magazines I just never could recycle. Excellent quality and content. Maybe one day I'll visit another actual Book Store and pick up another issue!<br />Have fun with all your loot. And if I lived closer, I would be very happy to help you learn to knit socks!Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-24370429159081477712013-08-13T20:00:06.234-04:002013-08-13T20:00:06.234-04:00The French Soda looks yummy and the bottle is real...The French Soda looks yummy and the bottle is really cute. Haven't seen the Garden & Gun magazine but I feel like my husband would enjoy it along with me. He loves his gun collection and belongs to a shooting range.

My mother-in-law once gave me a bunch of back issues of <i>Mary Jane's Farm</i> magazines. http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/magazine.asp I hadn't heard of them before. They're quite special--recipes, farming, canning, how-to, sweet writing, vintage-ey illustrations. . . . If I hadn't cut up those old issues for my idea books, I'd pass them along to you. <br /><br />I understand the joys of the quiet life and also of the anticipation of the treat. What great packaging for the orange soda too. :) A local grocery store sells gluten-free chocolate brownies made by a local company, and they're better than any other brownie I've ever had. I buy one every now and then and save it until I can sit down and really savor it, cold milk and time alone and all. :)Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04587080107116858971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-943927059863174392013-08-13T09:32:12.012-04:002013-08-13T09:32:12.012-04:00OH How I miss Tuesday Morning.

I keep saying I will learn to crochet, they make beautiful necklaces here from some ribbon yard I have from there. The magazine section in the stores id an aisle I never miss, even if just to browse. The mags have got so expensive, But I do get Cloth, Paper, Scissors too. <br /><br />Your yarns are fabulous, I can fell the softness in the photos and I adore the colors. Maybe you can take some down time to read on your porch as I keep trying to also. I got several library How - To Books I have been looking at; folk art projects, Pioneer Women and how they got by, Felting, Beading, and Papermaking! <br />Now, to put them to good use. I got an issue of Our State magazine which is about North Carolina, a wonderful looking article on Screen Doors, Tobacco Barns, Cheerwine Drinks, and Grits but I don't like Grits and never have.<br />Take time to enjoy! <br />Smiles, Cyndi<br />ByLightOfMoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01318588876599531916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-33747370927681035632013-08-13T07:19:59.599-04:002013-08-13T07:19:59.599-04:00I'd say it was a very good day :-) Now you hav... I'd say it was a very good day :-) Now you have me wanted to shop for that blood orange soda. <br /><br /> Gardens and Guns.. I won't lie, I'm surprised anyone put those two things together to make a magazine title. And I'm one of those who hopes never to need to handle a gun. I don't like them, they give me an uneasy feeling, I'd never want to use one to end a life, whether it's a game animal or a person for sure. However, I understand how they can be invaluable in many situations, not just the menace some people insist they only represent, and I respect that my unease is not everyones, clearly..lol.. <br /><br /> As for the knitting.. I say, if you enjoy the process of making socks, it's a wonderful feeling in your hands to create something you will wear. However, if you're cringing at the thought, that Walmart over the mountain I'm sure can sell you a big bag pretty cheap :-) Karen thisoldhouse2.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03302171590212119499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-17832302159268972552013-08-13T04:37:29.383-04:002013-08-13T04:37:29.383-04:00I like how you shop : )

I know what you mean about stocking up on reading; I do the same, and it's so wise to find good bargains. Wish I had an Ollie's! We do have a Tuesday Morning store nearby. I got a electric kettle there, but did not look through the store. I'll do that soon -- I'd love to find a place (besides Michael's) that has interesting yarn. <br /><br />My son works at a Tuesday Morning also. I should ask him about those drinks -- I'd love some of those bottles too :)M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-83414384300697499282013-08-12T20:51:43.428-04:002013-08-12T20:51:43.428-04:00Love the books and magazines Sandra..we don't ...Love the books and magazines Sandra..we don't have a Tuesday morning here an I've never been inside of one but I know all about Ollies.

I loved reading this post Sandra and like you, when I go into book stores I am in big trouble because I simply cannot leave without a few new books to bring home, read, and keep on my shelves. My husband is the same way so when we go into book stores together, whoa !<br /><br />I feel real sorry for the young lady who cared not to even hold her great-great-granddaddy's gun. I have never heard of that magazine and am very interested. I am going to check out many of your links tonight.<br /><br />I hope you're well stocked up on reading for the next few weeks and I can just picture you drinking that soda, eating freshly baked and buttered bread while reading your stash of books, surrounded by your furry friends.
