Such a fabulous day!
Breakfast party at Frieda's! What a great way to greet Monday. Laura is preparing for her trip to the Big Show at Houston and took a break with us. Pretty dishes, lovely fruit, coffee, muffins and yoghurt for fruit soup, which if you've never had it, is Wunderbar!
Frieda foams the milk for our lattes. Too too, n'est pas?

We oohed over everything, and wished to have a set of china like this.
Ms. Dimples. Laura never takes a bad picture.
Afterwards I went grocery shopping. It was bring out the big guns day in my store. I have never seen such huge fruit. These are Pluots, um, a hybrid of plums and apricots. I am guessing here.

My plans for the day included going to Joann Fabrics to buy some plastic to cover my work surface so I could gesso some canvasses flat on my cutting table.
And the clearance aisle had this stuff waiting for me. Delightful. No coupon needed.
My next stop was Hobby Lobby where I had a coupon burning a hole in my pocket. But the stuff I got mostly was 30% off, including these already reduced to $5.99 tubes of paint.
Going with the theme of Giganto, they are HUGE compared to the tubes I had at home. I have tons of paint already, but these were practically a steal. If you have an abundance, you feel less stingy when squeezing out a blob. Which hopefully results in better paintings. At least that is the theory I am going with.
These are the items I actually went there to buy. I had to get this spray finish stuff because I HAD to get these pastel sets. Also 30% off.
Totally unnecessary and totally irresistable.

It's like the first day of school. All new stuff, and the time to use it. What more can you ask?
You are on a painting binge again, aren't you! Just want to say that I am going to miss you soooo much at AQT - it won't be the same.

the dishes are gorgeous! and of course the fruit looks yummy and the company interesting-- what a nice way to start the day
ReplyDeleteWhat fun you have with your friends. What fun is ahead of you with those luscious pastels. Glad to see that you bought Krylon fixative for them. According to a website I had researched about pastels, this is the only brand that won't deteriate the pastels. I even found a UV-Resistant one.
ReplyDeleteooohhhhh and aaahhhhhh!!! I LOVE art supplies. I cant go past a bookstore, fabric store or art supply store without going in and even if I dont buy any thing (yes, sure it can happen...) I have such fun imagining all the great things I would do with all of it. Goods Art supply store in Evanston, Il. has a wonderful path through the paint section surely worn smooth by me alone....I know you will have fun with these.So very cool!
