weekend update

[robinsnest]

It's been a fun weekend around here. I worked at the office job on Saturday morning then dragged Rob to the Habitat for Humanity Restore just to get out of the house and browse. Well they were having a 75% off all green tags sale (for the Eagles apparently) and I found two cute vintage hats for a steal! I didn't NEED them but...hard to pass up for under $2 a piece. Then on the way home we were about to pass my local tea house and HOLD ON A MIN IS THAT AN ANTIQUE MALL I'VE NEVER NOTICE *screeching change of lanes* Rob was a very good sport and wandered around with me looking at oddities. I ended up buying a pair of white leather gloves and another ADORABLE hat. This one was a few more dollars but it reached the level of NEED IT. So maybe I'll try and sell on the other two to happier homes to justify my hat purchase.

Hat #1: A lovely navy velvet number with some kind of spazzy feathers I thought were derptastic.





Hat #2: is a hilarious pink straw with a GIANT flower. It looks fairly stupid on a head but when I put it on with hair it actually filled out and was kind of charming.





and Hat #3 that I just HAD TO HAVE:









Then today I packed up the rest of Christmas. I had taken it down and piled it on the table but still needed to really repack into the tubs I bought. It over-summered down in the basement in cardboard and a lot of things got moldy and I had to throw out a bunch so not going back there this year. Then I settled in and had a delightful time knitting on a sontag I started for ktlovely


Good models are hard to come by.

I also snuck in a few rows on my pinball! I'm enjoying having a big easy, needs no thought project to alternate with the tiny needs-my-full-attention project.



And I shall leave you with a picture of Rob and I modeling what I have called the poop hat but sadly that did not come home with me.

Pity the poop hat did not find a happy home with you.

I just couldn't come up with any outfit that made it wearable other than some twiggy number with gogo boots and sadly I'm more roundy than twiggy so that ain't happening.

The green hat is really pretty. And I love your model! :D

I was kind of surprised she just sat there and gave me the "really mom?" look. heh.

What cute hats! I’m never that lucky at antique stores.

Your purchased hats are lovely, but that... that last hat, what even, why? I'm fairly sure even "different eras, different aesthetics" is no excuse for that's existence.
