My move from my lovely Pacific Grove to San Jose - the "Zoo" is my favorite from PG, they are the sweetest, most generous loveliest ladies that own the store - so much fun! And Marita's, what can I say, I always want EVERYTHING in there and she's such a sweetheart as well. Ah, time to go back for a visit! <br />What a wonderful top, the fabric you used look wonderful in it and on you - tres chic!Kathleen O'Brienhttp://www.klauren.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-70468175683255220272012-04-16T11:59:33.681-07:002012-04-16T11:59:33.681-07:00I love the PG stores.I love the PG stores.Wearinbeadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18175752039767898951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-3256146184256011962012-04-15T08:29:29.490-07:002012-04-15T08:29:29.490-07:00Love the pics.

But shemerely needed a tuneup and cleaning. I have a Bernina 215 a back up, which is nice but not nearly the machine the 930 is. I bought it after Big B was taken ill, and Baby B's role is as understudy. I recently made jeans used both machines: Big B for seams, and Baby B for top-stitching. The Bernina serger completed the trio. <br /><br />BTW, I'll trade you your hip measurement.

Because the fabric has such a marvelous drape, it still shows off your narrow hips despite the width of the lower edge. It's a really pretty print with an interesting colorway.

That chair from Tessuti Zoo is wonderful. I would love something like that, but The Husband likely would not. he doesn't get a lot of say about what comes into the house, so occasionally I listen to him. 8-) <br /><br />It certainly looks like you had a fun day. I am slightly envious, I live in a small city and the shopping isn't fantastic unless you like chain stores. Oh well.ElleChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16656569539140359204noreply@blogger.com
