Saturday Adventure!

Yes.... I had a million chores to do... but I knew that Ekster Antiques was having one of her fabulous barn sales and I just could not miss going! And to make it even better we were having snow flurries.  It seems to snow some everytime Ekster has a barn sale, and that just makes it even more beautiful, but freezing! I do not claim to buying a lot of items at the sale, and as a matter of fact some of most unusual purchases (a mounted antelope... an enormous trophy vase) have come from the barn. But is is just so different from any other antique sale...mmmmm love!  So here are a few photos from the sale, 

I really wish these old life preservers were not $69!
 I know Virginia would love to decorate with them!

And since I was already 6 miles from Purcellville, Virginia, I had to make a stop at Web Fabrics.  I could not resist picking up a couple of bundles, some Kaffe ribbon (beautiful!) and the bundle of the day on the counter was just my style... and my price at 10 fat quarters for $10.  What a deal. 

And if you are in Purcellville, then stop in for a bite at the Magnolia Inn.  I met some lovely quilters from Fairfax, Virginia who are members of the Vienna Quilters Unlimited who invited me to join them for lunch.  So kind, but my chores were calling me and I just wanted to grab a quick bite.  But it totally reaffirms my feeling that quilters are just the most lovely people!
