Quaint is the word of the day over at vocabulary.com, so I searched my Google Photos for “quaint” to see what it would hand me. Among the results was a 2022 photo featuring a sheet of printer paper taped to a stick with blue painter’s tape, stuck in the flag bracket by my front windows.

At the time I didn’t own an Illinois flag. So I printed one. And it actually works.
But quaint? Is quaint the paper, or the stick, or the painter’s tape? Would a real Illinois flag on that same bracket have been sorted somewhere else entirely?
Seven flags are on my wish list:
- Republic of Macedonia
- France
- Chicago
- Village of Glen Ellyn
- Ireland
- European Union
- Finland
Notice, Illinois is not on this wish list, because I got one recently. I love it. However, I’m not sure I’ll get my hands on the others anytime soon. Maybe I’ll just print tiny versions and fly them throughout the year.
What would you fly if you printed it yourself?
