Because Jack was looking for some flamingo outdoor decor and hasn't been able to find anything elsewhere, we stopped today at a local crafty-type store I rarely visit because they and I are polar opposites when it comes to politics. That did not, however, stop me from taking advantage of their summer merchandise clear-out at a whopping 80% off. I spent about $14, so you can do the math to figure out what the stuff originally cost. Among my finds is a set of woven placemats - a close-up of which is today's photo.
