When I had my doctor appointment last week I invited the girls to go along. Â I thought we could mosey over to Lacrosse and mosey back….shopping or stopping wherever we wanted along the way.
All three of my girls were with, Kelli, Kayla and Kalissa. Â That doesn’t happen often.
We started out with lunch at Greengrass Cafe. Â It was really good.
We made pit stops at Once Upon a Child for maternity clothes for Kalissa…Stopped at the Gap outlet where Kayla found these! Â Check out the flying geese along the sides! Â Kayla loves Gap.
While Kalissa and Kayla were there Kelli and I were at Hobby Lobby. Â We finally (I hope) figured out beads for the bracelet I’ve been wanting to make. (More on that here).
It was later by the time we were finally heading home. Â As we drove into Hokah, Minnesota I was hoping the little shop that I’ve been wanting to stop at was open. Â Check out the quilt block…We drive through Hokah every time we go to Lacrosse. Â I’ve seen this quilt block and thought stopping at the store would be fun. Â Finally I was going to get to go….
Nope…CLOSED! Â UGH.
We did peak in the window though….
We loved the wreath made with crochet thread…and the spool heart. Â We could see other interesting things too.
Oh we’d have loved to shop….alas.
We went a little further down the street and found a yard sale. Â Kayla was the winner of the day there…she got a box full of old vintage crochet leaflets, a box of old Work Basket magazines and a box of old embroidery patterns…total price $5. Â Kelli also got a neat red tin platter like piece that was neat for a $1.
Next time going through Hokah, I’ll stop at the little shop…because now after my last medical report..we know I’ll be back. Â At least the trip will bring me something to look forward to…It was really nice to have the girls with. Â We don’t have “girls” day nearly often enough.
My mom always got Workbasket–for some reason, the only thing I remember about it was an issue with crocheted hotpants on the cover! :)
Hi Jo
Not sure if you saw my email that I sent you a couple of weeks ago. I finished the binding on the charity quilt you mailed me. You can see photos here: http://pugmomquilts.blogspot.com/2016/05/it-takes-village.html
Pugs and kisses,
Nancy
