Got Me Some Fabric and Going to the Gardens

I have been more discerning in my thrifted fabric purchases. Now I don't buy all the bags of fabric, only the ones that look like potential keepers. This group I bought two bags at thrift for a total of $12 at the Attic Thrift Shop at the Redwood Senior Center. There are some nice fat quarters that will work in nicely in my Lava Lamp quilt project. The stuffed animal was a $1 purchase I couldn't resist. 

A return trip to the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens meant a leisurely walk with the dog. There are a couple of "Easter eggs" to discover. 

The first was Headless Harmony. Man's suit and tie, woman's Peter Pan collar and dress ceramics slightly submerged in the soil. 

The dahlias were in bloom. 

Zipper in the pumpkin patch. 

The second Easter egg was these two big blue painted ones in a gigantic nest. 

Stumbled onto these money plant seeds that I gave to a couple of friends. 

I will be spending the next few days on the coast and will check back in to the Attic thrift shop for more fabulous fabric.
