Oh Where Do I Begin???!!!!!

Can you feel my excitement? (Okay I may have had a few too many coffees this morning in an attempt to beat the jetlag). Really, I am still on such a high after returning from the most wonderful time at International Quilt Market in Houston, Texas, USA!!!:

 
I am completely in love with the USA and was overwhelmed with just how incredibly friendly and helpful everyone was. Quilt Market was amazing and inspired me to no end! Of course I will be blogging everyday to let you know all about that, but today I wanted to show you some of my USA photos like the school bus (and I thought they only used them in the movies!):

 
And the food!!!! Oh the taco salad (who even knew there was such a thing?). I was very perplexed about the brown corn chips until Rosie explained that in the USA corn chips are made with many different types of corn - even purple!:

 
And the amazing homes!:

 
Of course many were decorated for Halloween:

 
Not to mention the shopping (I think my credit card may be resting for a while now!). Here's Rosie, Nel, and Melly outside one of our favourite shops (just how long is too long to spend in one single makeup shop?):

 

In the USA you don't even have to go to the Doctor for your flu shot - you can go to Target!!!:

 
God bless America:

 
Until next time yawl,

I enjoyed this post Abhishek. It was certainly creative and not what I was

expecting when I clicked on the title – a title I might add, which is quite

good. I know I had to find out what ways ‘guaranteed’ I could grow my list.

[uggs outlet]

You gave nice ideas here. I done a research on the issue and learnt most peoples will agree with your blog. Certainly, these practices are unfair;

Any other tips, send them my way! xx

[Sue Benson]

So I guess ya'll be going back next year?? Glad you had a fabulous time. Can't wait for more photos and stories. xx Sue
P.s. What's in a Taco Salad?

[Nancy]

Leanne, I am so, so, glad you had a great time while you were here. Isn't it funny what we take for granted? I rode a school bus when I was young (I'm 60 now) and now my grandchildren ride them. I thought they used them everywhere, maybe just looked different! Taco salads...aren't they the greatest? I have to admit, that even though I was born and raised in the US, I hesitated the first time I saw a purple tortilla chip on my plate...thought it was just for decoration, LOL! I can't wait to see your next post. OH, about the amount of time to spend in a make up shop...well, due to Scleroderma I no longer wear it but when I did, hey, I stayed in the shop as long as it took, LOL! Hugs...

[Patti Smith]

You are soooo cute! I'm born and raised in the USA and did not realize anyone could get so excited about school buses (except 4 yr. old children preparing for kindergarten) and taco salad. The things we take for granted!! Love your post and blog. Love the way you spelled "yawl"!! It's actually ya'll, but I think I will use your spelling from here on out. Blessings, Patti (USA)

[Yvette]
