It's official! Summer is here. Memorial Day to Labor Day is the beach summer...who cares what the calendar may say!
I am always disconcerted by the arrival of ALL these People! This is as crowded as it gets...hmmm.

No flea market, but I picked up a few thrift shop goodies:
A nicely cracked and crazed marmalade crock.
My mother collected these sparingly, preferably with marmalade inside, from Stop n Shop!
Then she'd fill them with pansies or zinnias.
A big mill spool, for my antique laces.
Except my kids have been muttering about mom's clutter so maybe the laces will go back in their bin!
And a couple thrifted shirts, for the fabric. For the Porch quilt? The pink can be tea dyed and/ or bleached, and I loved the big stars...
Not very cost effective way to add to my meagre stash of plaids and stars though. There's maybe a half yard of usable fabric here and at 6.95 per shirt, that just doesn't pay. That's almost $14.00 a yard. So no more of that!

Wish I could spirit you here for a weekend or somthing. I'd get my friend Susan to take you thrift-shopping and garage-saleing. She can find the darndest things for like 10 cents each! You'd love her!
ReplyDeleteI'm still hoping you'll make a "beachy" version of the porch quilt. It would fit your much better!

So people do show up at the beach. I thought it was all yours all year long. :/ My family always complains about all the stuff around here. They say there's no room to move or walk. Such is life. Have a good week. Tammy
ReplyDeleteThe air show brings a few people out, if they live within walking distance. Parking is very limited. ...after this weekend, it should be mine! all mine....
ReplyDeletePS your risotto sounds delicious, gotta go see
if you put the recipe on your blog...

I LOVE the lace! Your kids don't know how much it can do to snazzy up something (even if it is just on the inside and no one sees it). I used to love to put lace on the bottom of my hems before I'd turn them up ... even on jeans, it made me feel pretty.
ReplyDelete*sigh* the younger generation isn't necessarily the better one!
