Grounded

We are a bit grounded this week since our mini van is in the shop. (And we think in need of a rather large, expensive repair). Between being carless, having no sewing machine and Jack not napping I think I am going a little crazy. It might be a very long week!

We did manage to get to flea market this morning, but it has really been a dud for a few weeks. I picked up this rose fabric, which I really adore and is screaming to be made into a new bunting, but it is currently just going to taunt me until the return of the sewing machine.
A few vintage dish towels. The strawberry one has cute little berry baskets on it. I think the other is a tablecloth that someone cut up into towels. The dealer had a lot of them, and the pattern is just not quite right for a towel.
A Luray ball pitcher. I have no clue what I am going to do with this. I don't really collect these type of things, and it has 2 chips so not really a huge resale item. When he came down to $2 I figured I could throw some flowers in it or something. It is a pretty thing.
Ever since I saw the owl quilt block on Jessica's blog , I have been unable to get it out of my head. With the Husky down and out, the only place I could put it was on a shirt for Jack. (I am the world's slowest hand sewer.) With Halloween coming I could seriously make a million of these owls and put them everywhere. Love them, love them. Be sure to see her chicken quilt too! Amazing what a difference the bright colors made in that quilt pattern.

Vicki at Hollyhocks asked me if I would like to do a weekly tablecloth post, and we all know I could not resist that. Starting this Thursday, September 13th, I will be doing vintage tablecloth Thursdays. Would anyone else like to join us? If you do, leave me a note here or on Thursdays post and I will be sure to put a link to you up so other people can check out your lovely cloths.

I hope you all had lovely thrifty/crafty/relaxing weekends!
