152: it is a white, woolly animal

From yesterday's estate sale-ing.

You know how happy these made me.

I still kick myself over some statues I  passed up in the last couple of years. Because of that, now I just snatch them right up when I see them. You know, if the price is right.

It appeared to be a French teacher's home where (among many books en francais) I found this gem:

Or should I say bijoux? A Charlie Brown comic book in French; Oui, c'est vrai!

A book on phonetics :

It is a white, woolly animal.

Oh my god, that reminds me:
My honey and I were driving around a few months ago, brainstorming names for the prints, colorways  and the entire collection.

         My Honey: How about Velvet? You know how that one looks like velvet?

         Me: Well... that might be confusing since the line isn't made from velvet, it's a quilting cotton... But, good  thinking, honey! Keep 'em coming!

         {A few moments of pouting.  Him, not me.}

         My Honey:  Maybe you should name it Lamb-y Something....

         Me: What do you mean?

          My Honey: Well, since cotton comes from lambs...

         Me:  Honey?

         My Honey: Yeah?

         Me:  Do you mean wool? Because cotton grows on a plant. You know, like in the south? Puffy cotton in fields?

        (half-heartedly trying to hide my smirk)

         And wool, you know? They shear the sheep and then spin the wool into yarn? 

         My Honey:  No, it comes from lambs.

         Me: (smirk, chortle) Okay, honey. Cotton comes from lambs.

         (snicker, snort)

Hee hee! I think a drive through a cotton filed is in order. Great finds, BTW. I'm particularly tickled by the Charlie Brown en Francais.

I'm getting a kick out of your little exchange with your honey. Teehee.

maybe he felt like going for denial to avoid more pouting....

Boy... if he's right that must be some very expensive, very elite, very rare wool, er, I mean cotton. =) I definitely have estate sale envy after seeing your finds. ~jen~
