Who doesn't love needlepoint?

Would you like this Lilly Pulitzer Needlepoint belt?
I am happy to giveaway this belt in celebration of the Lilly Pulitzer Warehouse Sale and my 400th post. Technically this is post #399 but I'm anxious to update and I know you all will round up for me, right?
The sale was different again this year. They always have new items and fun surprises waiting at the warehouse sale. I arrived about noon on the first day and found at most, 10 samples and seconds on a table (What!) and boxes and boxes of men's madras shorts in a variety of sizes for $10. It's unheard of to find nothing so early in the sale. I asked a few friends that work the sale and heard that I wouldn't be seeing racks roll out while I was there either. There were no more to put out. I was in shock and disbelief as this is my primary source of Lilly. They have advertised buy one get one free on samples and seconds on Saturday and do wonder if they have a few socked away to roll out Saturday to prevent a riot!
One of this year's finds was this darling needlepoint belt. They had two patterns, these kissing fish or the navy and white Greek key. I chose the fish hoping that my dear readers prefer lots of color in their Lilly. It's a size medium and will be perfect for you or tucked away for a friend.

How lucky to be able to go to the Lily sale!!I love needlepoint, I enjoy actually doing it myself. My last project was a 4X4 picture fram which ended up costing me about $150...I may try adding a third column to my blog and if so I will put this on it.

The belt is adorable...

My grandmother tried to teach me to needlepoint and I wasn't into it. It's a huge regret now, though I guess it's not too late to start.

I loev needlepoint anything! In fact the belt I brought on my trip is a pink needlepoint belt with green palm trees. I actually made it myself and had it finished with pink leather. I would LOVE to be entered twice as I am a follower!

I am still green with envy that you went to the sale. Please post ALL you purchases! You were one of the first blogs I EVER read as I typed the warehouse sale in to google and you popped up!
