A fun thing when traveling is buying souvenirs. I really don’t need any more chocthkies lying around the house. On the other hand, if I buy yarn or fabric to make something, I get double the joy. 
Can you tell by the colors that these are destined to become sweaters for my granddaughter? Yup, she loves purple and pink.
I don’t ‘need’ another warm cowl, but this yarn and this pattern, Inspira, just called my name.
Of course I stopped in a few quilt/fabric stores. I’ve been working on my hexie quilt, that will be the subject of another post. I noticed that I am lacking purple fabrics, so I remedied that. 
And then there was fabric for a dress for granddaughter and enough for a dress for me.
Got to get busy!

You scored!
I bought some yarn recently when I was in New Orleans and it makes me so happy. When I am knitting with it and wearing the finished piece I will be reminded of my fun trip 🙂
I know, it’s the gift that keeps on giving.
