Loot!

Here is my pitifully inadequate photo of the true Full Moon, taken this evening around 5.30pm. It is taken facing East, just as the moon is rising on our horizon, & includes some pink from the setting sun. I know it is pollution, which gives the pink hue, but I cant help but like it.

And this next pic is of today's seriously great haul of fabric loot! Look at all this fabric I got for very little dosh! In the Oz vernacular, I got it for bugger all!
The night light photo does not do it justice, & there are some large yardages, which will be great for backing as well as "Eye Spy" quilts. And it is all pure cotton! Yay!
There are also 2 books there that I could not resist. One is Crimes that shocked Australia. The second is a Nicholas Sparks. I have read The Notebook & enjoyed it, so hope this is a good one too. It is The Wedding.
I also got a Cookie Barrel for my daughter, which I will have to take a pic to show. It is a huge cob of corn, with wheels, & the lid is a Pig in Goggles, who is the 'driver' of the corn cob. Our daughter loves pigs, & she also happens to love Cookie Barrels, so what else could I do?? I had to buy it for her. She told me she just loves it, & SG filled it with bikkies already.
Daughter J, & SIL have gone down into the City Limits to stay with our Son B to attend a party, so hope they all have fun for the evening.
GOM is wallowing in Footy on the Teev, & I am thinking I might just read some of the 'shocking crimes', in the comfort of my bed!
It is cold, but nice & cosy in our house with the benefit of the Airconditioner.
Hope you all have a nice weekend.

A haul indeed. Did you go Op-shopping? Or was there a big sale on somewhere?

And just think - all this time, your hair is getting steadily longer.

Ancient One, My daughter has a loooot of pigs!
Angie, the moon was just rising, it was early evening.
Joyce, I got all the fabrics from 3 different garage sales. I had been bemoaning the fact that there hadnt been any fabric about for ages, & lo! my grizzles were answered.
Isabelle, that is a comforting thought! My ears are cold.

Boy, Meggie, you're going to be busy! Nice haul! I also enjoyed your post on the blue moon -- might explain the blue mood I've had lately. LOL!
