My Little Ladies


I just wrote all this, clicked something WRONG and have to write it all over again…sheesh.

Well, this is about my day off after the semimar. My other half had spied a yard sale headed ‘Seamstress Quits’ in the paper and was then heading downtown to the Sunday Antique Market.

I guess I’ll have to name them…hmmmm…Judi & Punch! Jill & Jill?
