Ps and Qs

So on Saturday evening we went to Boulderfest, a free music festival in the car park of Boulder Coffee, just across the road from where I work. It was lovely and hot, I had a rather tasty bottle of Brooklyn Ale, and we heard the band Nevergreen, who were very good :)

Boulder Coffee is also just down the road from one of the Goodwill stores (also part of the organization for which I work), and I just happened to have my birthday voucher to use up!

So between bands seemed like a great time to pop into the Goodwill store. I got a rather nice pair of Van Heusen blue jeans in my exact size, and they're a really comfortable fit... I don't know how they've done the waist but it seems to hug without being tight, and there's plenty of room for those extra couple of lb that I'm sure I'll put on! :p

And so to the P of this post's title... a picnic basket!

And what do you think is going to go in it? Why, the quilting Qs of course!

Well, it's perfect for all those fat quarters (another Q) which I got the other day!

Oh yes, the jeans were a bargain $6, the picnic basket $5, and I rounded it all off with a pretty Japanese teacup with yellow roses on it, in which I now intend to have a tasty cup of tea. Cheers!
