Book Sale and a New Start

Yesterday I went to the book sale at the State Department having learned a few years back that there are lots of needlework books there. 

This year's sale may have had more needlework books than cookbooks! Wow.

You will be amazed at my restraint. My total was exactly my old phone number that I had to give up. I guess I should go play the lottery now. 

I will detail the best of these books later as I have to run soon.

And I started a bargello piece on congress cloth. Wow, this works up fast. Even with stopping to record details within a couple of hours it's 25% finished.
