Thrifty Goodness

I found this gorgeous satin lined standing/foldable needlework bag the other day, and was so excited! I have seen these before, but never one quite this awesome. It is smell-free, rip-free, and sturdy as can be.

~*~

I need help though...is there a special name for these things? And, does this look like barkcloth to you? Any info you can share is much appreciated!!

Cherry Blossoms

We tried so very hard to get to the Cherry Blossom Festival in DC today. We actually GOT to the festival and saw all of the beautiful trees in bloom around the tidal basin. Alas, it was a total zoo, and parking was impossible.

~*~

We ended up getting the heck out of there and going to a beautiful park along the Potomac River on the Virginia side. No traffic, no crowds, no trouble parking, and guess what? There were loads of cherry trees in bloom, so all was not lost!

These are photos of the gorgeous vintage barkcloth bag I bought at an artisan studio during my last trip to Florida. Those are cherry blossoms, right?

So, what did you do this weekend?

What's in bloom in your neck of the woods?
