Home Decor Flashback ~ 1978
June 1st, 2009
While searching my vintage cookbooks for the perfect recipe to share with you all in my ReTRo Cookbook Classics series, I stumbled upon this gem of a book that I had forgotten about. An awkward series of “how to” instructions for a number of needlework projects, published in the oh so chic year of 1978. Annette Feldman’s Needlework for the Home leaves no room untouched. From the kitchen to the bathroom and even to the backyard, there is a crafty creation just right for your space. In addition to sewing, knitting and crocheting and other still popular tried and true applications, this book also explores some crafts that have lost a bit of momentum in the last 30 years, like shell working and pasta working. (can’t find an example of that one!)
A Saturday in May
June 1st, 2009April was a difficult month. On the 11th, my Grandmother passed away at the age of 84 after struggling with a variety of health issues for the past few years. Even when there is illness involved, nothing can prepare you for losing a loved one.
First Show of the Season
June 1st, 2009
Next weekend I will be sharing my wares at the Forest Folk III Festival at Schreiber’s Farm in Oxford, CT. Forest Folk is “A 4 Day Gathering where teachers, artists, performers, crafters, students, and dream weavers come together to share, learn and grow in all ways through our statement of purpose.” EMBRACING UNIVERSAL SPIRITUALITY, PROMOTING PEACE & HARMONY, INSPIRING CREATIVITY, KNOWLEDGE & LOVE. And this festival is all done in the name of charity, donating all of their proceeds to St. Jude’s Childrens Research Hospital.
