Three cheers

I'd have mentioned the fact I was taking a blog break except I didn't know I was. I just got in-over-my-head-busy. The kind of busy that wakes you up at 5 a.m. without an alarm. The kind of busy that resulted in me spending 20 minutes and $2 on sales last weekend. It was time and money well spent, though, because I got a giant watering can for free.

My $2 went toward this swell little fan in perfect condition. I'll turn it on so you can see.

Refreshing, isn't it?

Anyway, I did squeeze in some shopping today. That's a new striped feedsack. Same place I got my last one, and the one before that. It's as if these church ladies say, "If any feedsacks come in, make sure to put them on the shelf out back for Barbara." Thank you, church ladies. These blocks might not look like anything unusual, even though I took pains to make a special message for you. Just wait 'til you see what they do, though.

Each square has stars or stripes, so you can arrange them into flags.

One of my favorite finds so far this year.

Well isn't that special! haha Couldn't resist, sorry!

I thought of you today when I saw giant bags of flour in calico sacks at the local grocery. I don't think I'll buy a bazillion pounds of flour to get one, but the next time I need white flour I'll buy the "Bluebird" brand and get the beautiful printed bag it comes in!

I want those blocks!

Ahhh- the breeze from a vintage fan is better than air conditioning- at least when its 70 degrees.
