junk drawer saturday
pea soup, rainy all night last night and most of today. sometimes kinda love that.
loved the mail this week...new fall catalogs from: Boden, Free People, Garnet Hill, Anthropologie, J. Jill. such dreamy stuff in there. a few things i want to get the knitting needles out for and make myself but this is going to call for some shopping.
and the week before that...two new fall knitting magazines!!!!
got my hands on some Vesper Twist sock yarn!!! colorway Sunflower to match my new Crocs. i've decided a knitter should always have a pair of socks on-the-needles. they're so great to throw in your bag for last minute knitting-to-go. and the end product is like none other.
heading Downtown to the Air and Water Show tomorrow afternoon. i do love that yearly treat. i'm usually a peace and quiet gal but something about those planes....
last nights dinner was burgers on the grill, homemade guacamole, and a yummy white sangria i made from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food issue #34. we ate outside and finish just as it started to rain.
well, you know, eleven days till i'm back at work. yep! August 31st. need to pull out that list and see if there's anything that i still need to make time to do.
made 2 yarn purchases in NYC. at the charming shop in Soho www.purlsoho.com i bought a salmon colored Blue Sky Cotton. it is so soft! and at the very Zen-like and tricky to get to Habu Textiles www.habutextiles.com both my daughter and i bought 2 very large hanks of what is called A-80. (they do things very differently around there). it's undyed, natural and a very soft wool. don't know what it will become. something beautiful.
must go wind that sock yarn so it can head out with me tomorrow as my small to-go project, along with a good book of course!
