Welcome to a place where you will find all sorts of vintage quotes, creations inspired by vintage ephemera, old lace, and poetry, and a glimpse into the past for building a legacy for the future today.

Winter Wonderland
I had so much fun creating the mixed media sparkling snowmen from the December Cloth Paper Scissors magazine cover! I used part of my Christmas vacation from work to make five sets of three each of these unique characters. They were grouped in festive form down the center of my very long table on Christmas Day -- and then I surprised each of my 5 daughter-in-laws by having them choose a set to take home with them.
One of the things that made them special was being able to incorporate some of my grandmother's old costume jewelry into the making of their hats and necklaces.
