<\/a><\/p>\nThese look like they could have been material used in my mother’s aprons years ago.\u00a0 So bright and cheery.<\/p>\n
These made me think of vintage French material.\u00a0 So gorgeous. I wish I could have bought the whole line, but I will find a place for these in a quilt.<\/p>\n I bought six yards of this. It’s prettier in person. A dusty pink.\u00a0 It’s going to be hard to cut because it’s so pretty.<\/p>\n This is Lori Holt’s fabric from her line of fabrics for Riley Blake.\u00a0 Lori likes bright, cheerful colors and she has designed some of the cutest quilts.\u00a0\u00a0 Anyway, I got enough of this to\u00a0back a quilt.\u00a0 Don’t know which one yet, but who cares.<\/p>\n I’ve been making blocks for my Grandmother’s Fancy quilts.\u00a0 I need 115 of them for five quilts.\u00a0 It’s going to take me a while.\u00a0 But it’s so much fun going through all my fabric to pick out what I need for each block because each block is a different color.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ve even come across fabric I forgot I had and it’s like, well, Christmas, once again!\u00a0\u00a0 I have found fabric I have never cut and didn’t remember buying.\u00a0 But that’s okay. It makes it interesting.\u00a0 I don’t know if you remember when I was cleaning out my fabric and I gave a\u00a0lot to a local charity shop and several bags full to a friend who was making lap quilts for nursing home patients.\u00a0\u00a0 That still left me with boxes and boxes of fabric.\u00a0 I will never use it all in my lifetime so my kids will have to haul it all to a charity shop because none of them sew or quilt.\u00a0 I’m sure they will thank me. Ahem.<\/p>\n I told you we went to an antique show Saturday. Sometimes you kiss a frog before you find a prince and this time I was disappointed.\u00a0 I have more nice antiques than this sale had. It was more of a flea market. But David and walked through the two buildings it was held in and saw some interesting things. One lady was selling bunches of flowers and she had planted a lot of little succulents in tea cups and other small dishes. Her booth was cute. Another booth had all old laundry items such as a wringer washer, old wash tubs, old clothes pins three for a dollar!\u00a0 I had to laugh at that as I have so many of those in an old clothespin bag in my shop.<\/p>\n When we were just about to leave, I saw a box of books.\u00a0 I always look at old books when I see them, especially when they are in a box all jumbled up because you never know what you will find.\u00a0 I love old children’s books and in one box this man had was the book, “Bambi.”\u00a0 Three dollars, the man told me and I snapped it up.\u00a0 It was copyright \u00a01929.\u00a0 It was first\u00a0published in 1923\u00a0just about the time Walt Disney was young enough to read it and start dreaming of making a movie.<\/p>\n Felix\u00a0 Salten was an Austria writer and critic.\u00a0 He is best known for his book, Bambi. I’m so glad he wrote it.<\/p>\n Deer even run across the inside cover.<\/p>\n I love what John Galsworthy wrote about the book. Notice he recommends the book to “sportsman.”\u00a0 Not Bambi!<\/p>\n Bambi’s mother.\u00a0 When I saw the movie for the first time and Bambi’s mother became a victim of the hunter, I was too little to realize what happened and my mother would not tell me.<\/p>\n Could this be the model for Thumper who Walt Disney created?<\/p>\n Anyway, I’m looking forward to reading this.\u00a0 Glad I found it.<\/p>\n Coming home we stopped at another antique store we like called Vic’s.\u00a0 Outside it is parked all manner of old army vehicles, an airplane, old cars and this…\u2026.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
