Flea Market Flamingo



Last weekend I found this adorable rocking flamingo for $7 at the flea market.  It was quite dirty and needed some minor repairs.  It's almost ready to go to my shop.  It's obviously handmade and I can just see some loving grandpa cutting it out and grandma making the cute little seat.
 
I also bought a box of beautiful drapery fabric remnants for $5.  Yesterday was pillow making day at my house. I love sewing pretty pillow  but have found they don't sell at my shop, so I fill up my beds with them.
 
 
 
The weather has been beautiful here this week.  I thought you might enjoy these pictures that I took this morning in my backyard.
 

 
There's Miss Heidi checking out her backyard!



 
I'm having a friend over for lunch today and I'm serving cream cheese, bacon, and avocado sandwiches.  We may be able to eat outside if it doesn't get too hot.  Have I told you how much I love summer?
