Rugs, Books, and Yarn

Because of the Room Renovation, there has been a bit of shopping for new bathroom rugs.  Just a bit, right after the bathroom floor first went done, because the painting was still a week off, and I am not one that can ‘SEE’ it before it is done.  I have to SEE it when its done to make sure I haven’t completely skucked my color choices.

So the bit of shopping for bathroom rugs occurred at Tuesday Morning, because I love good cushy rugs on my bare feet that fluff after washing time after time after time, and that I don’t have to pay an arm and a leg for.

Alas.  Without the walls being painted, The Guy and I were at a loss at TuesAM to determine if any of the choices was the right one, but being in no hurry, we felt no pressure.  In fact, I even thought to check the craft-y section before we left!

And oh my! They had knitting and quilting books. Double oh my!  It took me some time to go through the dross to find the nuggets, but I find two good ones, indeed.

Kristen Knits, by Kristin Nicholas, and Thimbleberries Big Book of Quilt Blocks.  For about $6 each...boo-yah!

We are fortunate in our area to have a second location in the town not far to the south of us, and later in the weekend, I suggested having a look-see there for the rugs.  This time I had a sample floor tile and a paint chip, but alas, it was to no avail.  (The right rug-gage will come later to us.)

But again…I thought to check the craft-y section….and oh my again!...this store had sock yarn.




Oh yeah!
Update: More shopping ensued this past weekend, and after exhausting most all shopping options (and ourselves) we returned to Tuesday Morning, and my first instincts!  We now have soft cushy ruggage!

I wiped out TuesAM once when they had all this wonderful Araucania Atacama alpaca. I should go check again. Thanks for the heads up.

Looks like some sock yarn that will make very nice socks! Isn't serendipity fun?

Very fun bargains! Our TuesAM stores did not get the same level fiber yumminess. But it is always fun to look!

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
