The goodie at each shop is a charm. My quilting charm bracelet is getting quite full after three years of charms. We all decided that the whale charm wins the cutest award so far.
Here we are: My sister, my niece and myself. Yes, I am aware that my hair was cut off. Yes, I've been getting this question a lot in the last three weeks. We're hanging out with the whale in Pacific Grove at about the mid-point of todays shopping adventures.
We still look pretty energetic, but then, we'd also just eaten lunch so we were recharged and ready to get more shopping done.
On this first leg of our hop we tend to do equal parts food shopping and fabric shopping. These shops take us past a chocolate factory, and well, not many quilters can pass up chocolate. We certainly cannot resist this one. We also go past our favorite bakery so that cannot be missed either.
Here's the food haul - bread, pastries in the bag and box, a GIANT caramel apple and some toffee and chocolate covered apricots. Oh, and that candy bar of deliciousness - apricots, almonds and caramel all dipped in milk chocolate.
Actually, it's a rather small haul this year. We did skip the cherry stand which was closed and the mexican bakery. Still, a lot of food.
Next up; the fabric haul.
It does not escape me that some of this fabric looks suspiciously like food too. I promise that it is really fabric and there is no actual chocolate or produce in the mix.
More danger tomorrow.

your hair is gone but you sure look cute in the new 'do'. That
is perfect for summer.
What fun you all are having. I can't figure out whether the
food or the fabric looks like more fun.
Food! Well, they are both fun but I love the treats because I can't get them at my house so it's always a special trip.
