My haul from first 1/2 of my shop hop
 

Ok, finally got photos downloaded of the splurge from the first half of my first shop hop. Boy, those narcotic fumes permeated in the fabrics in those shops did their magic-I was totally seduced into buying! LOL. I really got caught up in the moment, but enjoyed every minute. I still have another 7 shops to hit tomorrow and Sat-think I had better leave the credit card home!! I am on a fabric starvation diet for the next 6 months!! But, I got my McKenna Ryan patterns I REALLY wanted! Plus, some of the fabric are for the purses I have been asked to make with a beach theme for a resort in Vanuatu, so I will get some money back!

wow, nice haul, indeed!!!

You had a successful day!

How fun, and what a great haul!!

Oh you did so well, what a haul! I love that Miranda Bag, have been wanting to get it for ages. Will watch to see what it looks like with your fabric. Have fun!

Wow, nice haul. Be you feel on top of the world now. Thanks for posting.

Love the fabric! Looks like you had a wonderful day.

Wow great haul, sounds like you had a blast. Plus you have a return on your money when the purses are made.

Yes, that is my "justification" for spending, but really, the bulk of what I got has nothing to do with those purses!! But, it is my reward for making them! I already bought most of the fabric for the resort's totes, the rest of the fabrics I have purchased during the past few months are for other bags/totes I want to sell at a craft fair, when I find one! Then, hopefully, I will recover the money I spent, and have some extra. I will also be having another fabric sale on this board in the next week to thin out my stash of fabrics I don't think I will use now.

I could not have left those beautiful fabrics, either. Love the turtles and green "turtle shell" especially!
