Part 7 What I Did on My Summer Vacation

Saturday, August 23, 2008

We woke up bright and early and made coffee, provided in the room, instant oatmeal with the little electric kettle we always bring with us and topped off breakfast with some blueberry/applesauce. After checking out of the Rat Hole we went in search of yet another yarn shop. This one had an address in a mall so it wasn't too disappointing when we discovered it had also closed it's doors about a year ago. We did find a nice little card/gift shop where I found a bunch of initial charms. I'm thinking book marks personalized with the recipient's initial dangling off the end. I also saw the cutest bobble headed, piggy/kitty bank. We spent about 40 minutes in the store and as I was laying my items on the counter to be paid for that kitty bank leaped off the shelf and landed smack in the middle of my items.


Bobble head kitty bank.

I don't remember where we had lunch. We caught the ferry back to The Island and drove home. yadda yadda yadda.....
It's good to be home.

Oh, those are so different! I've never seen a bobble-head like that before and I never would have let something like that stay on a store shelf. What a neat purchase!

That's a cute cat. I can see why he had to go home with you.

Loved reading about your adventures. :(, few yarn shops were still open. That kind of stinks. Looks like you had a good time anyhow.
