Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

IF ONLY A CAR
Question Of The Week, February 23, 2015
I bought shoes out of necessity. I hate shoe shopping!
I don't like shoe shopping either - I stick to Merrills or Clarks by mail order mostly. I gave up on girlie high heels a long time ago - they ruin your feet.
I bought three crystal glasses on ebay from my pattern to replace the ones I broke. :) I rarely use the ones I have, but they were a good deal.
This morning I bought birthday cards & suntan lotion! Purple Ronnie cards were reduced so I bought quite a batch & I found some Factor 30 for our holiday next month. Now I do need some comfortable shoes but to get ones I want & am prepared to pay the price for means a bit of a hike to the Clarks retail outlet so I need some time to psyche myself up - Maybe next week?
A pack of three shower caps. I use them for bath and shower - of course but also to put make up on. I prefer the thin ones not the tight stiff ones. Lost without them.
I just bought 2 lightweight pullover sweaters for when we go to the city. I think they'll be usable in the mountains even in the summer. I'm not a great shopper.
I have to buy new work shoes every 4 weeks, they wear out n get holes! Socks every 2 months.
Last week I bought Chinese Dragon figurine at Micheals for a B-day present to send in the mail. Today at the Dollar Tree I splurged on a metal hummingbird chime. I have a wall collection of them.
TO ALL: This was the most interesting question of the week. I loved the array of items each of you acquired. Perhaps Brigid can explain the yarn for the crown. I want a crown!
You can see one of the crowns in my Monday post "Any day..." and here is are patterns: http://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/2014/08/30-free-patterns-fit-for-a-prince-or-princess.html Can't wait for the pic of you with your crown!
