G.G.


Funny story about this print - actually there are a couple of funny stories about this print, but I am only going to share one of them.  On my way home from a long day of yard sailing*, just as I was rounding the corner back to my parents home, I saw this fabric flapping in the wind of the neighbor's yard.  It looked to be in the garbage.  It just so happened that these neighbors were having a yard sale.  So, I made my last stop of the day, docked "the boat" and began to haggle with the locals.  I tell ya, it wasn't easy getting this woman to let go of her garbage (she argued she used it as a drop sheet for painting - I didn't see a drop of paint on it), but I managed.

This print is my all time favorite in the history of bink & boo.  It's the colors.  I love the colors.  As for the name of this print "G.G" that's a whole other story.

Originally: Vintage sheet
Discovered: Yard sale, off Pacific Ave, Olympia, Washington
Created: Baby Booties 
*Yes I do go yard "sailing."  This particular day was spent in a sea of yard sales.  I sailed across town occasionally pulling into port and docking the boat (I had my mom's mini van) to see what treasures awaited me on ye old strangers land (yards).
