It was an amazing time, something I can remove from my bucket list...
basic block almost done. need to trim down a wee bit to 8" square, then handembroider my name. i'm still deciding whether or not to add the applique i had originally intended to use. it would add a very personal touch for the recipient which is kinda the point. but i'm worried it might make it too busy. then again.... what's too busy for me? if only i knew what she'd prefer...
Less than a block away from the hardware store (see previous picture) is a shiny new soda and candy shop called the Fizzary. Open less than a year, this is the first time I've passed by when it was open.
Inside it's a retro-historical theme meant to hark back to an imagined sweet shop from mid 20th century Americana. In other words, it is a 21st century re-take on commerce as it existed when the hardware store was first opened.
Funny, how as time moves us from the realities of the past into memories of it, we sanitize those memories by discarding the bits we don't like, replacing them with ersatz souvenirs as a substitute. Memory becomes ordered and iconic - like this sweet shop - yet the reality of the past was more like the chaos of the old hardware store. We are of course lying to ourselves when we reorder time like this; perhaps it is one way we have learned to cope.

The AB Courtyard® Collection is a 2-sided free standing, stack-n-go wall system that can blend the two block sizes to create seating walls, outdoor kitchens, fountains, posts and courtyards. Think of it as the ultimate project block.
