there are some new to me things around the house. i’ve held back on this because it originates from a terribly sad fact: a lot of the treasures used to be my grandmothers. it feels a little cheap posting about the good things i discovered while cleaning out her office and craft room. at the same time, i’m happy to have some of her treasures to add to our home and i’m happy to be using some of the supplies that were special enough to her to save. so…

some new sewing treasures.

a pendleton purse. why not?

a tin with some fun supplies inside. usa pottery. vintage mirror. glove forms i’ll use for display at the craft fair. and old feed bag…

many supplies which, when worked together with just a few of my own supplies, made something new and wonderful! (more about that later this week…)

(not having to do with my grandmother) i’m teaching (0r trying to teach) myself to play the guitar. it’s been on the “list” for quite a while, and i’ve finally decided to just jump in. is it sad that after a week, i can only play two chords?

from the infamous (to me) collection of dolls, a pair for mama and a little raggedy anne for belle.
