Heaven.... I'm in Heaven....


And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.
(well not really... I mean, ME not be able to speak?!!! really!!!!)

Anyway,
Mr. U asked me to accompany him on a trip to the 'big city' so he could buy some tools...

Now
we live in a small community made up of mostly small towns 
(though ours- the biggest- is about 28,000)
and villages and a 'city' of about 14,000

So
we are fortunate to have 3 brick and mortar quilt shops, a Joann store,
and even an art supply store,


but today...
down in the 'big city'

I found my dream shop...

Any color you want!

Pastels

Pastel pencils

Pencils!

Markers!


Color!
(okay, these were at the tool store but they look kinda cool!)


 
Swoon!
Me on the floor

    I was in the big city today and saw something very similar in my favourite art store. The pastel shelves and pencil racks are so yummy aren't they? I'm afraid Icouldn't resist and bought some pencils.
    Also, sorry I have been a bit MIA lately and not been commenting. I have been reading, though. Loved the piggies and the sun dyed scissors - I wonder what that fabric is for?

    There is a universal appeal in the colour arrangement with uniformity attached. Strange but wonderful.
