I have been busy trying to finish off a piece of writing this week so it's been a bit rush, rush, rush. I had a letter to post yesterday and so flashed quickly into an op-shop ("I don't really have time for this, but...") as I was walking back to the car from the post office. I was delighted to find a number of balls of Icelandic wool (Alafoss Lopi - have you ever used it?). It's so lovely and unprocessed looking (and feeling). At first I wondered if Alafoss was Icelandic for alpaca but it seems to just be the brand name!
Also some gorgeous little crocheted doilies, just right for framing in embroidery hoops...
And this great crocheted wall hanging. So cute! Love a flying and unexpectedly fruitful thrifting stop!I am in no way religious in the conventional sense and I don't subscribe to any of the organised religions. Yet I have found unexpected enjoyment in listening to some gospel music this week, especially as sung by the American singer Allison Krauss. I love the purity and simplicity of sound. You might recognise this song from the Daylesford ad if you are local or from the movie O Brother Where Art Thou. So peaceful. Enjoy your weekend.

The acoustics in my office's kitchen are just phenomenal, and I often sing Down to the River to Pray as my summer song. No one seems to mind yet.
I wish I worked in your office - sounds delightful! Thanks for stopping by in the Yellow Wood, Nichole :)
Wonderful colors of the wool!
Aren't they lovely! They make me think of the sea.
