What are the chances of visiting a store a full month after my last visit and finding two feedsacks in exactly the same spot I found two feedsacks before?
Apparently very good!
What are the chances I'm going to be looking for more boxes of keys to sell? Also very good!
What are the chances I'm going to have to remove most of the dining room furniture to take Etsy photos today?
Also excellent!
What are the chances the nasty stains are going to come out of the quilt top I bought last week? It's looking good! (The quilt is sunning itself right now, so you'll have to use your imagination. This will help: It's orange and white, hand-pieced, and I try not to think how wonderful it would look with my vintage Halloween decorations because I'm planning to sell it.)
What are the chances that Friday will be fun? Pretty good, because I'm visiting this shop.
I think I should go buy a lottery ticket.
Ohhhhhhhhhh, is it cheddar orange? A cheddar quilt has been on my hunting list for two years now ya know. :-)

I SO wish I could transport myself to your little corner of the world on Friday - that store actually looks a little dangerous (for the pocketbook!). *smiles* ~Jen

I think we should all take a field trip with you to that wonderful store! You'd get first dibs, of course!

What are the chances that I want to drive nonstop (32 hours) to the East coast and thrift?
Sometimes when I am thrifting here (boomtown usa where no one has bought anything cool since Levi's in the 1800's) I think of you and how you might get an ulcer if you had to live and thrift here.
That yellow apron on the green hanger below put a song in my heart and I ended up making one last night. Thanks for that!

I'm always in awe of the stuff you find! Great job!

Yes, I think I would make a stop and purchase that lottery ticket!

When it rains, it pours and the luck seems to be coming your way right now. Have fun on Friday in that cute little shop!

Nice job Barbara...now I have to give the twins Pasta Pick-Ups, the dreaded manufactured food on Monday so I can go after work and poke around my favorite antiques barn. It's all your fault. Someday we'll have to take a road trip to that shop. I can ply the dear husband with talk of ice cream and picnic food and the twins still just have to go wherever we take them...I could comment on every post. I love everything, but you knew that!

Love those feedsacks, the the quilt sounds enticing as well. I'll just have to keep checking your Etsy and ebay pages.
I had no idea those old keys were so valuable -- good job!

Can we please see that orange quilt before you so hastily sell it? It sounds rather unique. Perhaps you could live with it for awhile. Display it with your Halloween decor this fall. See how fantastic it looks. Possibly reconsider. These are just suggestions, of course!
