Habitat for Humanity Treasures

So I was driving down the road today and passed our local Habitat for Humanity Store. I try to avoid stopping, but sometimes I’m possessed. Well, boy did I find some deals. This pile of goodies cost me only $6. Zippers for only $0.25 – $0.50, I couldn’t pass them up. I have ideas of making little change purses from my quilted and felted fabric. Zippers cost about $2 a piece at Wal-mart. I’m motivated now to start making something.

What else did I find? A cool old wooden yard stick. Its not a very good one, but I’ve seen them used for picture framing, may even attach a piece to one of my quilts. How can you pass up $0.50?

Then my prize! Sheet music for Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass “Spanish Flea.” Ok, maybe you don’t know Herb. My dad was a big fan of his when I was a kid. I have to say his, I have good feelings when I hear his music. You’ll see a song or two on my play list. What will I do with this? I don’t know…use it in some piece of mixed media art. Or just read the words and hum along to the notes on the page. For “two-bits” (as dad would say), the memories are more valuable than the cost.

Sometimes you just have to buy something stupid, just because it strikes your fancy.
