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).
