Walmart, You Inspire Me

Dear Walmart,

As you already know,

I’m not a fan.

Wandering your aisles normally makes me want to hide in Dollar General

or go to the dentist

or fly to Mars.

Yet, today, you came through for me.

In your newly-restored fabric department,

I found my inspiration.

Yards of vintagey floral goodness,

perfect for my porch redo.

You inspired me to break out my mother’s sewing machine and try my hand at pillow cases.

I even managed to refill the bobbin!

So, even though spring is still over a month away,

and these won’t go on my porch for a while,

I thank you for having just what I wanted.

Sincerely,

Ginger

PS We are still not BFFs.

  4. LOL!! I have the same love/hate relationship with Walmart so I completely relate. I told my hubby that my shoulders sag a bit when I pull into the parking lot. :-) That fabric is beautiful though and I love the pillow! Thanks so much for sharing it with us at Inspiration Friday this week!
