Life goes on, even when I'm feeling sad.
So I'm filling my time with favorite people and good things
and trying to make everything seem normal again.
This morning I visited a little shop (Fabric Recycles) and hit the jackpot on vintage trims.
I came home with an entire rainbow of glorious color.
And now I'm dreaming of fun ornaments to make for the holidays.

Thank you to everyone for the kind, heartfelt, messages of sympathy.
I really do appreciate the love and support you shared with me.
And I will try to catch up on my visits soon.
Filling your time with favourite people and things is the right thing for you right now..

Your arrangement of the rainbow trims is a work of art as is, and maybe you should just keep them displayed like that, especially as they lift your spirits.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss. Be gentle with yourself, grief takes time. These lovely trims are an awesome find. Home with the flu but wanting to garage sale so badly now!
ReplyDeleteSurely have been thinking of you, friend. Will continue to keep you in my prayers...as well as your mom and sisters.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to stop and say you really did hit the jackpot with these gorgeous trims. Will look forward to viewing those Christmas ornaments you have in mind. :-)
Hey Gayle, I know the feeling .....life continues on around you when your world has been turned upside down. It's a strange feeling, it passes with time.....
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that haul of trims managed to make you smile. You certainly hit the jackpot there........
