While I was out getting some tchotchke things for the cottage I saw
these Beverage Bonnets. I thought I could pass them up but had to go
back and get them. They are too stinkin' cute. What a great way to
keep the pesky little insects out of your drinks on the patio.

Hey, one woman's tchochke is another woman's treasure.

We have a neighborhood yard sale next weekend. I wonder if
I can find all
those little round doilies I inherited. Hang a few beads on
'em and voila,
bonnets! (Actually i don't think I'd have the nerve.)

Oh, they're milk jug covers!! These were very common here years ago to keep
the flies out of the milk jug etc. particularly before most homes had
flyscreen etc. Flies are very bad here in summer (hence the "great Aussie
salute" - brushing flies away from your face).

http://www.dhub.org/object/112789,crochet - here you can see a number of
old ones, mostly filet crochet, which are in a collection at the Powerhouse
Museum in Sydney.

There used to be patterns for these in women's magazines. If you crochet,
Koko, you could make your own quite easily and probably more cheaply :-)

I used to go sometimes just for the music. There's a Latin mass every
Saturday at 2 pm in the cathedral 2 blocks north. I'm getting up
enough chutzpah to drop in.

Of COURSE they do, silly wabbit! Some of us gave up on it years ago and go
to plain ordinary old church service now

Durn. I live in the Tropics, and we don't have "the pesky little insects"
trying to get in my drinks. Maybe you should call the Orkin Man?

Not everyone approves the use of chemicals and if she's in a city
situation, her neighbors will object to her spraying their property.
We have enough complaints about state mandated overhead spraying in
situations directly affect crops.

Maybe I should move to the tropics. This time of year, it's the gnats
and flies. Late in the summer, it's the yellowjackets. None of whom
the Orkin man will bother with other than to take your money and spray
your house.

The website to the cobblestone cottages is

They have a "Contact Us" link. If that doesn't work let me know I'll
get some for you.

Yikes - one more thing to clean, store, and remember you own 'em. I
barely know where my coasters are lurking. I don't own corn cob

Pretty easy to make those suckers. The only hard part would be seeing the
stitches in the #30 or so thread with which you'd have to crochet them...
