I had coupons for free fat quarters. I show the guys Field Notes, the newest line from Blackbird designs. They learned about the luxury of having a fat quarter from an entire line of fabric and how fabrics have designers. They learned about different sewing machines and threads and stay completely focused the entire time. They insisted once that I get the Field Notes and I wasn't about to talk them out of it....
I got my Mom and I matching spatulas-- just because.....They were cute, no more no less. We marveled at the Meijer store this came from. Eric didn't get it,Even worried a little, but it was different that stores at home...
We had so much fun there I continue to say that's where I want to retire one day. But Don reminds me it's because we vacation there. If you lived there every day-- it would be different. It is an expensive place to live.
Every day should be a vacation day, right?!?!? Oh well, Off to work-- Happy Monday.

What fun treasures. Glad you had a nice get-away.
I don't think my husband would enjoy a tour of a quilt shop. He usually will drop me off and come back for me in a bit. Somehow he manages to show up about the time I am paying for my purchases and sees the amount. LOL! He does not complain. Thank goodness.
I suppose you work at a place that does not give President's Day off since you were heading to work. Oh, how I loved the day off when I was still working.
I have always heard that Traverse City is a wonderful area... you found some great shopping treasures! Retirement? I'm dreaming about it just like you! As long as there's a quilt shop close by, we should be good where ever retirement takes us!
You have a very good family, Melanie! I'd keep them. :) Can't wait to see the loveliness you create with your new batch of fat quarters.
What a wonderful, wonderful day! Glad you had tons of fun!
Field notes is one of my favorites lines. I haven't gotten any yet but I plan to.
