Rain, rain, go away

It’s been raining where I live since Sunday. And not a nice soft drizzly rain either. The downpour kind. Not only is my basement flooded, but I’ve had a sinus headache and stuffed-up nose and just feel crappy. I don’t usually do this but on Monday I gave up and went to bed. I sipped juice, read and did embroidery, but mostly I napped. There’s nothing like a summer cold to knock me flat. Anyway, that’s why I haven’t posted since last week. I’m feeling better today and hope to be fully recovered soon. Because...

This weekend is the annual linen/button theme weekend at Shupp’s Grove in Adamstown, PA. (Weird music warning if you click that link) They have a flea market every weekend but this is a special one where vendors focus on textiles and sewing-related items. This will be my third year and I always find tons of stuff. I especially love the Amish and Mennonite women who come in from the surrounding areas to sell feedsacks, which are just about my favorite thing. I really should do a post about them one of these days. Not sure whether I’ll go on Saturday or Sunday—that depends on whether it’s raining. Did I mention that I’m sick of this weather :)

I'll be sure to pack my camera and post some pics next week. And tell you what I found!
