In Search of....

Yesterday we headed out in search of...vintage embroidery hoops.

I have not been thrifting or antiquing in a VERY long time.
It used to be fun and I could find just about everything I was looking for in one good full day of thrifting.
Well, I have been out of the game for awhile and it seems things have really changed.  Gosh, the thrifts are quite disappointing and sparse here.  Not to mention the insane price hikes.  When did it become cheaper to shop for new goods at Target than bad conditioned used goods at a thrift??

It just seemed to get me in more of a grumpy mood than a good scavenger hunt mood.  By the end of the day I came home empty on gas and empty handed.  I captured how I felt in this photo of my fatsy last night.
So I give up.  I will find a new way of doing the project I wanted to accomplish.

Today I will stay home and organize some more goods for Etsy and make a few things too.  On my desk are a few jars that need sewing and accessorizing.  Maybe a swim this afternoon to relax.

For now coffee....
