Oilcloth
Early Saturday morning I set out for Highland Park (between Chinatown and Pasadena) to the Oilcloth International warehouse sale. Cathy of California tipped me off to the sale. I LOVE oilcoth. The bright prints and colors just knock me out. It's so practical too. 
We have an oilcloth print on our kitchen table. I've long been a consumer of oilcloth totes and handbags. They make exceptional gift items too.

Apparently, I didn't get to the sale early enough. The driveway in front of the warehouse was packed with people buying huge rolls of oilcloth, remants, totebags, aprons, zippered bags, placemats and more. I managed to snag some items, but not half as many little totes or pouches that I anticipated. Sigh.
I'm on the mailing list now, so I'll know when their next sale is planned. You just cannot own enough vinyl totebags!

Wow, looks like fun! I'll have to check that out next year!
Next time give me a heads up, I love oilcloth too.
I really wanted to go too as I love oil cloth. I had the House of Ruth event at the same time. Did you buy much?
Hi Liz,
I zoomed over early in the morning because I had an event at noon back on the Westside. I bought about 3 totes, 5 or 6 various sized pouches, a couple of aprons and some water bottle cozies. I didn't buy any yardage because I know it would just sit there with the rest of my fabric!
I'm salivating.
