Well, the camera is here somewhere. And a cord that hooks it up to the computer is in Mt. Clemens. But I've plenty to tell you anyway.
There's a cool consignment shop for local crafters, and I'm putting some of the old Etsy items in there to move them quickly, and I've also discovered I am within walking distance of a quilt shop so can just mosey up there and get a little of whatever color I need to match, they have lots of fat quarters.
The local thrift stores have provided me with good cheap 10-cent packages of seam binding and some $2 sheets for apron-making, and the sewing room is in production mode again although I keep reaching for things that aren't here yet. A $5 desktop from the local auction house is my new sewing table, but Husband is eyeballing it for himself in the office upstairs after my usual table arrives!
Difficult to find in Columbus Ohio:
really really fat juicy chickens with big chests. Smallish to medium whole chickens are $9, bought one under duress today for feeding to the father in law this weekend.
sturdy clothing rack for holding my aprons, would like something I could fold and take with me to the farmer's market starting in late June to display them. Hmm. Sketching designs.
white cotton curtains in the thrift or regular stores. Lots of bright colors and all polyester or other synthetics, I just wanted plain old cotton. Had to go to the axis of evil store and get white twin sheets and make the curtains out of that. Everything else just too expensive.
Otherwise everything else falling into place, baking supplies are in Plain City, gardening stuff is on Craigslist, cool cheap furniture in town, quilt shop 3 blocks away, mailman eats the cookies I leave him in the mailbox, everyone talky and friendly. Oh, and the neighbor says there are four "huge" peonies at the side of the yard, she showed me some bare ground where they are expected to re-appear, and I think every thing is going to be all right for the entire garden plan all the way around. Both pizza places are acceptable and five more yet to try out. It's all good. I am so very blessed!
