...Winter White

The 'hunting & gathering' has basically stalled out here in the cold NorthEast, and those of us going through 'stuff withdrawal' have LOADS of time on our hands to fill... productively?!! Though I haven't had much of interest to Blog about lately, there has been MUCH going on 'behind-the-scenes'. You know that exciting sorting, cleaning, organizing, purging, and yes - even a few projects getting finished up! Here is one that I started last Winter, but it got put on hold when some seeds needed sowing in hopes of Spring... ...this 'Winter White' plarn bag is f-i-n-a-l-l-y complete, and I'm loving it! I've been using my last plarn bag for well over a year on a daily basis, and I can't believe how amazingly well these things hold up (and I pack it FULL of stuff to cart to and from work every day!!). I just decided I was ready for a new color scheme and a few minor modifications (ie: more interior pockets, longer straps to go over bulky sweaters/coats easier, etc...). The more I check out some of the plarn creations people are doing on ETSY though (if you want some REAL eye candy - check out BLUESKYBAGS etsy shop!!), I'm kinda craving one in a Blue/green/aqua color-way (go-figure!) - I've said it before, this plarn stuff IS ADDICTING!!
This isn't to say that I have stayed away from the Thrifts completely... Let me introduce my first Royal Haeger find of 2010 - a great pair of mugs for $1.58.

What is plarn? I guess I should follow your link and I'd probably find out. I need one of those! The mugs are beautiful. I've been finding alot of Haeger but not much ROYAL Haeger but I'm always on the lookout.

Impressive find...those mugs! I am also feeling the effects of no yard and estate sales...went to a thrift store yesterday and bought nothing...worse yet, went antiquing last week and also bought nothing. Seriously...Spring can't come soon enough for me.
