Europe Haul 2024 | Discussing the souvenirs and crafting items I bought while on Vacation

[@susanowen1709]

Good morning again! You picked up a lot of really nice things. The poppy micro-cloth is gorgeous; are you sure you want to wipe your glasses on it, get it all dirty? Salted caramel, oh yeahhhhh, it's the best! (Nice slice of pound cake, some sliced banana, dollop of vanilla ice cream, and caramel syrup - breakfast of champions, LOL.) I've never heard of that particular style of butter cookie, and they sound amazing. (I bet they're good with caramel drizzle, too.) Such pretty tins, too, those could be useful after the snacks have been eaten. The tea towel is lovely, and it's generous of you to be donating it to the future raffle. Gorgeous fat quarters! The cats are charming, and I love the ornament print. I say this with admiration: you have more creative hobbies than anyone else I know, and you're never afraid to jump right in & give a new one a try. I'm looking forward to seeing the in-depth video on the embroidery kit. And such great prices on the clips & labels & what-not. I'm practically crying over the lobster-claws; at that price, I'd've bought every one they had. Your dishcloths turned out really well (we're ignoring the ear, LOL). Overall quite a wonderful haul!

Thanks, I love al the stores I visited and I've been eyeing the poppies for years, they have that print in so many things that I was proud that I limited it to just the cloth, there's a large bowling bag style duffle bag I've been wanting since like 2017. The caramel is so good, I usually don't eat caramel, especially not as a sauce, but I make an exception for this. Same goes for the cookies, I've tried a few recipes but none taste as good as the ones I picked up. I enjoy collecting hobbies, it's one of the reasons for this channel, to have an outlet for my curiosity. Some resonate and last forever and others are a passing fancy. Now that the boys are integrated into the household and only go downstairs to use the litter box, I'm considering reviving my resin hobby too. I have quite a bit of resin to use up, so I might, if i have time. I am also so excited to start on the embroidery kit, but I most likely won't get it up until December.

@@fredmakesthings So basically your hobby is collecting hobbies is what I'm hearing, LOL! I did embroidery a bit when I was much younger but didn't care for the available patterns. I ought to give it another try now that there are online tutorials & a wider variety of patterns.
