It feels like Sunday, but its Monday. Today W had a dental appointment so we dropped him off there. Phil and I visited an antique store we'd never been to before - Lighthouse Antiques. It was huge. That was the perfect stop to kill an hour waiting for W to get his teeth cleaned. Then we all went out to Taco Bell for lunch and to King's Books in Tacoma. Walker had been wanting to check out some of their rare Latin books and we always think a trip to a bookstore is a treat. Here is the mural painted on the side of the building...
And the bookstore is in a very picturesque part of Tacoma.

This is what I bought at the antique store! Two packs of cotton squares, I think they were samples of drapery fabrics or something. Very pretty colors and reasonable price. I have been thinking about doing some sewing/artsy stuff, and this is just the inspiration I needed. See the magazine at the bottom of the stack - SEW Somerset. That is what has sparked this interest. (like I need more projects!).
And "back to school" shopping! Its still fun, even when the shoeboxes are huge!
I thought I could get another wildlife photo this morning - we had a bunny in the front part of the house, but by the time I got my camera, all I could see was feet and a tail scampering away.Happy Monday to you.
Another beautiful day in paradise!
