Retail Therapy

Just went for a stroll in a craft store yesterday.... Oh! It was SOOOOO nice to have a day off work that wasn't a Saturday......

I went in to browse.... to just FEEL the happy thoughts flow.......

and they did......

And there were several (okay- several dozen) items that just NEEDED to head home with me...

Where I felt the glee all over again when I opened the bag (okay, okay.... BAGS!) when I got home.....  

Let the fun begin continue!

I am quite sure that I NEEDED these things..... every single one of them..... 

I don't know what I was looking for.... but I am quite sure I found it... them.....  

Flat tip Calligraphy pens in DELICIOUS colors!!!   

And the good old standbys!  Black ink..... Hope they are wonderful!  

I love flat tip calligraphy pens the BEST--- I was doing Calligraphy before it was a "thing".... and I DO like the look of this "new calligraphy"... also known as "faux calligraphy" (HAHAHAHA!) which means FAKE calligraphy...... (HAHAHA!!!) ..... Which to us folks who grew up learning to write in CURSIVE...... means...... CURSIVE  (only- now it is MESSY CURSIVE)...... haha!   But.... yes.... I like it too..... and yes...... I "DO" it too....... but, still...... I head back to my old faithfuls...... my beloved flat tips......   I DO prefer a NIB pen.... but... these are handy to have in my purse when I have a LETTERING EMERGENCY....

And I love a good ZIG pen.... brushes in lovely, lovely pastels!  Yum!  

And then.... how could a lovely craft store perusal end without adding a bunch of plaids to the cart....... Inconceivable!!!  Incomprehensible!!!     

And... aren't they just the ticket!!  Oh! I cannot even WAIT to get started on these projects... whatever they turn out to be!   

Cheers!
