Before we left for home my hubby gave me this to use at my LNS.
Here is the end results plus a few more $$$. I have enhanced my stash with a few new things.I went to my LNS with Jill and Cathy B, we also met up with Judy a friend of Cathy's at Stitchville and had lunch with her. So now I have a new friend in the stitching world. It was good to meet and spend sometime with you Judy. Maybe you will be able to stitch with us in the future. Then we had plans to meet up with Jackie and Lori at Jackie's house for some food, fun and stitching. I had a really great day Saturday.
Before I left Minnesota I had this wonderful pinkeep hand delivered to me by Cathy B. as she had my name for the FTT pinkeep exchange. This design is from Carol R.--iStitch. It is Sew Patchwork. Cathy did a great job on her stitching and finishing. I just love it.Thank you Cathy:)
On our way back to Aberdeen my hubby and I stopped at a couple of antique shops and of course I found some flower frogs. The yellow frog at the upper left is a "vaseline" glass frog and under black light it glows. Really pretty cool. The bottom frog is carnival glass.
I also found these jar lids and had to have them to make some pincushions. At least try my hand at it.So all in all I had a great time back in Minnesota, but I am not back to the real world and off to work later on today.
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stitching:)

Got to love those flower frogs! I've got quite a collection. I like to collect the tops like you have and fit them into bowls. And I love how that Vaseline glass glows under the neon lights.
And you picked up some wonderful stash with the money that your DH gave you. Do you think that he could whisper a few encouraging words to my husband? LOL
Joan,
What a sweet DH you have! Don't you just love it when you get a surprise from them?
Have fun with all your new patterns. The pinkeep that Cathy made you is so pretty.
Looks like you made good use of the $$. Have fun with it!

You should definitely keep your man!
Great stash haul. Can you tell me about the stitched piece under the flower frogs and the jar lids please.
