This past week Q got to go to Steamboat Springs for 'work' and Maren and I joined him for a couple of days. The weather was snowy and cold, but otherwise it is a cute little town. Tuesday we went downtown to go to a store that Q had his eye on, and I noticed a thrift store across the street. I'm telling you, I can positively sniff them out at this point, I'm so trained. Unfortunately, most of it was junk, but I did find this cute fabric for a buck. The colors are quite bright and the graphics are fun--various storybook types of illustrations. There's not quite a yard, but I thought I could make a cute pillow or something. Or, I could just stuff it into my closet for about 10 years until I figure out what to do with it. I'm guessing the latter is probably what will happen. Couldn't pass it up, though!

OK- That's it. You HAVE to go see that cute thrift shop in Sugarhouse that I've been telling you about. It has the cutest vintage baby stuff using vintage fabrics. Maybe in Jan?
