Told 'ya I'd write about calico again.
Today, it's a few more thrift finds - like this pretty vintage tablecloth in a calico patchwork print. It's a big one, and it has a nice ruffled edge, to boot:

I've written about the Calico Critters Puss In Boots before - well, now I have another, and I picked him up at a very reasonable price:

There aren't a ton of letters remaining, but I may be able to spell out something!

I find calico yardage and remnants like those shown above at thrift stores all the time.
Fabric doesn't get much "cheerier" than that!
