We started the day pretty leisurely with a good knit and gab session at Mom and Dad's. I didn't have quite enough of either of these left over skeins but they worked together so I have enough to make a pair of socks for David! After lunch, we decided to go to the flea market in St. Augustine.
I found this ceramic fish figurine at one of the stalls. (about 7" tall)
And this was a find for only a few dollars.......it is about 16" tall and is sitting on my mantel right now!
I think it is made of plaster but it looks like wood and I will probably tweak the color after I look at it a while first!
As we came into Palatka, we decided to eat at Corky Bells. It was a perfect afternoon as you can see in this shot of the shoreline. It would be a great jigsaw puzzle!
See the happy, FULL, contented family photo! We went back to Dad and Mom's for some games, and Bob won both-he and Shelly have to travel back to NY tomorrow; we haven't heard word about the house purchase but do have high hopes for a good word on Monday!
Sounds like you've been having some good catch up time. I hope all goes well with the house.
ReplyDeleteCorky Bell's--I'm drooling!!!!Sharon
ReplyDeleteI really like the gray with the orange sock yarn. They do go together perfectly!
ReplyDeleteYoua re right, that shore-line shot would make a great puzzle. How relaxing it looks.
David will be so excited to have new socks! "Grandma socks" are a prized possession in our household. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you got a bonus-visit from U. Bob and A. Shelly!
Corky Bells...we'll have to try that next time we're up that way
ReplyDeleteI like the colourful sockyarn - looks like koi carps in water to me:)) not sure about the jigsaw though - you'd need a lot of patience for all that sky and water:))
ReplyDeleteLooks like your family's gathering in your area so you'll be able to visit more frequently. Good luck house hunting.
ReplyDeleteThe socks look great, I love the way you're working the colors together!
Love those two yarns together in that sock! Good eye!!!
ReplyDeleteThat shoreline picture looks fabulous. Even though we've had a super mild winter, with little snow, this year....it's still 40 degrees at best, and brown, drab and leafless. That picture is so nice I just want to step right into it!
