... G from Patra's Place came visiting. I suggested to her that we might go to a couple of op-shops I had seen but never visited ... She didn't need any second invitation and off we went in her little blue car... We spent an enjoyable time browsing with G finding yet another table cloth to add to her collection. At one stage we had the ladies of the store madly sorting through a box which had newly arrived to see if there was something that G may be interested in. I of course had to 'scan' the books just to see if there wasn't a title or two that may take my fancy...
We both commented on the amount of stitching that seem to end its days in op-shops. In particular one largish, framed cross stitch which had been stitched with nursery type animals obviously for a small child. G and I both wondered why someone would give it away when it looked like it had taken quite a bit of work. I silently hoped that it would find a good home...
We then came home for some lunch and 'catching up'. I looked at G's 'stuff' and she looked at mine. It was a nice way to spend a wintry Melbourne day... Thanks G!!!!

You're very welcome, S! I always enjoy the company of you and E - we get to laugh a lot and that is good soul food.
S didn't mention that she spent quite a bit of time showing me on her computer how to do things to my blog. I am no spring chicken, so today's hi-tech stuff takes a while to sink in, and this was no exception. It made sense when she showed me, but once I got home and looked at my blog template... Aagghh! NO WAY!!!
Sounds like a perfect way to spend a day to me :)
Aren't friends great!! Theres nothing like an outing with a good friend. We recently had a day out at a quilt show and went to a tea shop afterwards, we had so much fun and laughs. Good for the soul, that what !
