Got really good at the old English bond after noticing it's popular again.

Practice paid off and I can lay it fast now. Happy to see this style making a comeback in our area.

Hold up, is getting good at one brick pattern really that deep? People acting like it's some lost art coming back when it's just bricks in a different order. Saw a whole article last week calling it a "craft revival" because some fancy coffee shop used it on a feature wall. Not exactly rebuilding cathedrals, is it? How much time are we supposed to give to staring at garden walls?

Wonder if mocking brick patterns misses the point. Even small crafts keep traditions alive. Why should only cathedrals count?

My friend pointed out a garden wall pattern the other day.

It's like people are finding beauty in small things again.
