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.

| black skimmers...they are a bit calmer than the terns. But very large! |
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!
