We ventured out into the heat again today (115 degrees today) for more shopping... it is so unbelieveably hot! You step into the shade, thinking that it will be slightly cooler but it feels the same. The heat just radiates off the pavement... I feel bad for anyone who has to work outside and feel a lot of sympathy for the soldiers in Iraq where it is hotter than this and they have to wear their full gear. You really can't imagine it until you feel it!
We started out at Melrose Vintage. It is a total feast for the eyes!!
It was great to see Wendy and Diane!
Next stop was Rust and Roses... always such cool stuff there too!
We made a stop at a Goodwill where we found old piano rolls... can't wait to use them in a project! Then we went on to Glendale and Creative Quest. They had lots of cool binding samples!
Two visits to Sonic for Diet Cherry LImeade kept us hydrated! Back at the resort it was great to see Ali and Vicki who are teaching here. Ali and I have lots of fun memories at CKU and it was great to catch up again!
I took pictures of my two favorites finds from Domestic Bliss yesterday... the Jill Schwartz necklace...
Isn't it gorgeous?! I also got this pillow... love the birdies and the pink ric-rac trim and especially the sentiment! Seems perfect for me and my kids in Iraq...
Melrose Vintage...one of my favorite stops when I venture down the hill to Phoenix. And Debbie, just remember...It's a dry heat!

I love the pillow and the necklace, too! When it is 115 during the day and then 'cools' to 100 at night, it really does feel good, relatively speaking! Those shops look like so much fun! Enjoy! xo
