The Binky Boo

I am convinced I had a blouse, or my grandmother had a blouse, or my mom had a blouse...dang it someone in my childhood had a blouse made from this fabric!  When I saw this hanging in the closet at a moving sale (she was 92, and it was a moving sale and not an estate sale) my mouth started to water, and I felt the sudden urge for something sweet - Starburst.  In junior high I always had Starburst in my backpack, they provided just the pick-me-up I needed around fifth period (Spanish).  I would pop the candies in my mouth, litter my desk with my favorite color flavor wrappers (orange, pink, yellow), and then gently fold them into the beginnings of a friendship bracelet.  Wondering what I did with the red wrappers?  I HATED the cherry flavor and would leave all the red candies for the lucky chica/chico that had sixth period Spanish.

P.S.  I swear I am not a narcissist.  I named this fabric after a nick name my grandfather used to call me because I am convinced that someone in my family did have this blouse...maybe it was my grandfather. HA, just kidding!
