Misc finds

 Yesterday, DH had a meeting & I had some shopping time .... I visited Downtown Emporium, an antique mall, in Huntingburg, IN.   I found two magazines with tatting patterns.

Needlecraft for Today, Jan/Feb 1984 - Tatted Heart pattern by Susan J. Allen

A couple stores down, Serendipity Fibers!   Friendly staff & lovely store.   I picked up some cotton/cozylon fiber to tat with.   It is going to be fun to try this.  And if it does not tat well, I'll knit some dishcloths with it!!!   

Found these little scissors at City Stitch    ...   a lot of fun things in the store.   Saw some tatting thread and shuttles, too .... bought the scissors and fob!
