I left for Florida with carry-ons, car seats, and a knot in my stomach…returned last week with fond memories, old and new, and a huge, soft leather suitcase filled with my grandmother’s vintage craft notions. Needles & threads, scissors & hooks, seemingly every measuring tool and crafting aid possibly available to your average 1950s June […]
Back from the Beach…
