My Mother’s Sewing Box
This wreath was created using items found in my mother’s sewing box including vintage buttons, ruler, lace, thimbles, thread spoons, scissors, bobbins, ribbon and pin cushions. Look closely and you can even see the original price on some items.
My Grandfather’s Ties
This 20”x20” wall hanging was created with the 60 tvintage ties my grandfather had collected over his lifetime. When he died my mother kept the ties and then asked me to do something with them. Since my grandfather loved to garden I created a flower. The tags from each tie add a border.
