Still, it was a good time with a few interesting purchases and discoveries, beginning with a cool piece of nifty 50s bark cloth in colors to complement my bedroom's brown and orange palette.

| Fabric measures approx. 23" square. I think it would make a nice throw pillow, maybe with a dark brown or pecan velvet back. |

| Dig the abstract geometric design. |
 |
| Apparently the pattern is called Concerto. Maybe Colonial is the brand name? |
I already have more vintage kitchen tablecloths than I can count, but this one caught my eye with its unusual fleur de lis design. It measures approx. 52" x 54", and I think it might be a cotton/poly blend because it has a smooth, slightly shiny finish. It has no weird stains and was a true bargain at $20.

| This photo is closer to the actual color – a blue-grey as opposed to the brighter blue in the photo above this one. |
I also found turquoise and chartreuse crystals to update the black crown on the wall in my hallway. I already have orange crystals for Halloween and red ones for Christmas, so I wanted something fresh for spring/summer.

Hopefully, Mother Nature will cooperate for July's show, and I'll have more to show for it.
Finally, this pair of 60s-70s hanging lanterns gave me a chuckle, so I took a quick snapshot. Maybe, if I had a basement rec room... or not ;)
