Grain Sack Appliance Cozies $3

Grain sacks purchased at a consignment store in Santa Ynez, CA; $1 each.

Some were holey and flea-bitten, but I worked around it. Here we are just giving the ol' Blendtec a custom fitting.

Very thankful for the serger. I read that "serging prevents handmade from looking homemade." 

Around here we appreciate a decent letter "G" since I married a Greg.

This turned out so well that I made one for the toaster, too. I love grain sacks! Look at all the cool typography on them!

The Drifted Snow Flour man (that was holding the sheaves of wheat) was very handsome. I mean, look at his forearms. I saved his head in my scrap pile. He kind of looks like Ken-doll meets the Green Giant. I suspect he was going out with Martha Meade. I'm sure it was all sorts of scandal at the flour factory.
