Wanderings


Generally, when I say I've gone wandering it means that I've driven the truck somewhere new.
Okay, I did that a little.
I am still learning my new neck of the woods.
Quinn had to have her teeth cleaned so while she was asleep and then recovering
 I wandered into some places I haven't been for a long time.

First off was the library!
I had ordered several books on the craftsman style and went to pick them up.
These are to educate and inspire me for the doll house.
I realized when I went to order the windows and doors that I didn't know what I was looking for.



I can never just go pick up the books on hold.
I always have to walk the stacks.
I have VERY eclectic interests and will read nearly everything.
I was fortunate that I only picked up three extra books.
Books are addictive!

After I escaped the library I went to several thrift shops.
I rarely go to these and even more rarely buy anything.
Another miniature blogger is always finding really neat things.
I must not have an eye for possibilities!
I was mostly looking for books on design and decor.
Found Zero.
I did buy a bamboo steamer,
 a belt to use for stretching,
 and a little bracelet that reminded me of Nora.
(Will have to send that to  her.)

Maybe, I'll go on a real wander next week-probably not
Second eye surgery on Monday.

I have a friend who finds the most amazing things in thrift shops. I never find anything. That's quite a diverse range of reading material but then isn't that the fun of reading.
