Fabulous Florida textile fun, that is!

Fabulous vintage Florida textile fun, that is!

Here’s what I spied on the sidewalk outside Flukes & Finds & Friends this afternoon.

A vintage state souvenir apron . . . that had never been used. Somebody from New England visited the Sunshine State, brought home a colorful and useful apron, and stuck it away in a drawer for 60 years.

It’s even got the original tag.

Heck yeah, there’s more!

Today’s Flukes streetscape

Outside Flukes today: blues & greens with a splash of pink.

This week is the annual Yankee Homecoming downtown. It’s a big deal—sidewalk sales, craft fairs, kids’ activities, outdoor concerts–you name it, it’s happening downtown.

So after I’d made my run to the bank and the post office, I stopped by one of my favorite shops: Flukes & Finds & Friends. This shop is chock full of vintage furniture, repurposed finds, linens, art, estate jewelry, and a lot more in really inviting displays. The prices are reasonable, the dealers are friendly.

They’re not paying me to write this, honest!

Out on the sidewalk, Flukes usually has a great display. Today was no exception.

See what I found!
