The other day when Mr. Pinker and I went over to the neighbors I took along one of my most recent thrifty finds that I bought in February while camping. As we were driving in the woods, Mr. Pinker stopped the side by side and said , "There is the perfect spot for a photo shoot! Over the creek!"
By golly, I think he was right.
This was a quilt that I purchased at a Goodwill when I was making my way back home from our camping trip in Arizona . Hmmm... I think I will call it Starburst.
Isn't the machine quilting magnificent? The design really gives the quilt a punch.
I paid a mere $5. 99 for this beauty! Can you believe it?! Goodness, I couldn't have snatched it up quick enough. I am very happy to have this beauty in my collection.
I will keep it short and sweet today and leave you with a couple of more photos from the woods. Thank you for dropping by today.

Es ist fabelhaft, dass du es geschnappt hast... die Art und Weise, wie du es im Wald präsentiert hast, ist großartig... Ich freue mich so für dich!

ReplyDeleteAm here to appreciate Dr Oliha for using his herbal medicine to cure my Herpes virus. since 4years now I have been living with this virus and it has been giving me challenges, I was so perplexed cause i have been taking several drugs to be cured but all of my effort was in vain,one morning i was browsing through the internet then i saw several testimonies about Dr. Oliha curing people from Herpes virus and immediately i contacted Dr. Oliha on his email: oliha.miraclemedicine@gmail.com , i told him about my troubles and he told me that i must be cured, gave me some instructions and which i rightly followed. so he prepared a herbal medicine for me and sent it to me which i used for 2 weeks and everything was like a dream to me and my Herpes virus was totally gone, why don't you contact him today and be free from your diseases because he is very good and honest Doctor. contact him via email; oliha.miraclemedicine@gmail.com or whatsApp him on +2349038382931
