Get well shopping :)

I haven't been feeling too well lately. About three weeks ago I had the flu, or possibly just a common cold but with some flu-like symptoms. I got better, but then I had the almost tendonitis in my wrists from crocheting too much, and I felt a bit unwell again. I went to the doctor a few days later to see if there was anything to do about it, and while I was waiting at the doctor's office my mother-in-law called my boyfriend, and she freaked out a bit when she heard where I was, all worried and stuff. But when I later told her it was nothing serious she was very relieved and sent some money for me to go out and treat myself to something nice. The choice was very easy. Can you guess? *tamtamtam* Thread! 

A ball of Idena Dixi and four balls of Coats Puppets (or is it Eldorado? I've never seen this thread before). They are all somewhere between size 10 and 20, and I hope I can combine them with Lizbeth 20 :) I also got these lovely buttons:

I asked if the store had any of the plastic tubes they keep their buttons in, and I got a whole bunch of them! Thought perhaps I'd get one of the really thin ones to keep tatting needles in (yes, I have ordered some!), but this time they only had the fat ones. I can use them to sort out my button collection, but the biggest one is even large enough to keep shuttles in! I got them for free since the store just throws them away when they're empty :)

My mother wanted me to pop by a fairly expensive craft store I rarely visit to check out the quality of some yarn for her knitting. While I was in there I looked around for tatting stuff, and tada! I found these two shuttles:

Unfortunately none of the ladies at the store could tell me the brand of the shuttles :( The plain blue one has GERMANY printed on it, at exactly the same place as another shuttle I got on eBay, which was bought used and came in the package saying it was an Aero. 

When I saw the bobbin shuttle I just had to get it, because it's pretty and purple! It has the exact same shape as the normal Aero, but it has no print. But the best part is the bobbin, which is also purple! 

I don't think I'll ever get tired of collecting stuff in different colors! I'm still not feeling 100%, so I'm mostly staying at home to read biology and relax as much as possible. And of course I tat a lot :D
