Holiday Shopping

It seems to me wherever you are on holiday they have the same stores as we have at home, so I never bother. I do always look in a thrift shop if there is one. I bought 3 little pieces of fabric just right for hexagons and an oval cross stitch frame for $1 and a larger round embroidery hoop for $2.50. At another thrift shop I found 2 small pieces of mauve homespun, 20c each and a blue huckaback hand towel with a little Scottie dog printed on it for $1.50. In the $2.00 store there were 2 plastic containers just right for keeping threads in. That is my kind of shopping.
