Piles of new things

On Saturday, I had a lovely time at the bazaar, even though I was only there half an hour. My mom, my sister and I lined up early and were among the first through the doors. I found several things I was looking for, and a few I wasn't. Such as:
-a frying pan, 4$
-a sifter, 1$ (which I forgot at my parents' house, having borrowed theirs and not returned it yet; we'll make the exchange later)
-a yoga mat, block, strap and DVD, 5$ (I would have happily paid that just for the block)
-a bag of knitting notions, including several stitch holders, a row counter, tapestry needles, a circular needle, and a set of double-pointed needles. I asked how much it would be just for the DPNs, and was told I could have everything in the bag for 25 cents. Sold.
-a beautiful flower vase, 2$


My mom and I also perused the VHS collection, and since my parents still have their VCR hooked up (how else would D watch old Disney videos?), we acquired a few titles; among them, early Shirley Temple shorts, Mary Poppins, a puppet version of Curious George from 1982, Three Men and a Baby, and Charlotte's Web (the old one). 3$ all up.

As I was thinking of taking pictures of everything in a pile, it occurred to me that another pile has been steadily growing: that of handmade things for Cashew (who, as you may have concluded, is far too comfortable to be bothered with such tedious matters as birth). My friend Jasmine, despite having a newborn on her hands, just finished a lovely sweater for Cashew, which joined another sweater, a bib, a quilt, a pumpkin hat, a cabled hat, and a blanket. The colours are all accidentally autumnal, and I think everything looks beautiful.
