Internet Shopping, Trick or Treat?

Graz is a beautiful city. There are literally 100s of these little statues on many buildings - on top of doorways and windows. All you have to do is look up! Little faces looking down on the goings on below. I've started to bring my camera out with me, with a zoom lens, so I can capture some of these little details.

Anyway, this photo goes with tonight's post about internet shopping - trick or treat? You see, I spent a fair amount of time on-line last night trying to assemble some fabrics for quilting. Trying to use my goals from an earlier post, I had a list - yes, an organized list! I had one quilt all picked out, but when I clicked on 1 vital fabric - it was sold out. So, there went that quilt fabric theme. Trick!

On another site I found some great light blender fabrics on sale, sale, sale! I bought 5 yard cuts of several. Of course, these fabrics will work with almost any scrap quilt as a background so this was a no-brainer. AND, background fabrics were on my list. Treat!

But 2 other fabrics that I had picked out earlier that I absolutely need were also sold out. Trick!

It would be nice if a site would take a fabric off the preview pages if it is gone. I look and look at these little bits of internet fabric, plan my quilts, write it all down in my notebook (trying to stick to my goals here) and then go to order it - gone. Trick, trick, trick.

Still, it is nice to be able to shop on-line so I guess it is a Treat! afterall.
