The moment I saw the post title, I knew it must be you, Edel! This is a brilliant use of the patches, and I’m not surprised they drew admiring glances.
I have to tell you @Edel, that I had seen a flamingo patch in the dollar store last night and I thought of you!
I opened up the bag this morning and lo and behold, there was the patch! DH must’ve bought it for some reason, or the cashier put it in the bag by mistake.
What a fun way to use the patches! It’ll be interesting to see how many people notice!
And, the city I work in was where the ubiquitous plastic, pink flamingo lawn ornaments were manufactured. I didn’t manage to grab one before the factory closed. I guess they sold the mold to another company, so they’re still being made, but I don’t know if it’s still in Leominster (MA).
But, now, whenever I see a flamingo item, I think of you first!
