On my fifth birthday I was gifted a beautiful stationary set and that's when my love of paper began. I remember the robust smell and smooth heavy feel of the paper. I loved it so much I began collecting paper products. I like to say my love of all things vintage is ingrained in my DNA. My parents and grandparents collected antiques and sold them too so I grew up in a house full of antiques and going to auctions with them. Those memories are very dear to me and are the reason why I owned and operated my own antique store for many years. I find old stuff fascinating, old quality craftsmanship, the ornate decoration, the things were built to last and makers had pride in their work. These are some of the qualities that I try to bring to my handmade items. Here on my channel I share with you my craft room where you can watch and join in on my crafting adventures. Come craft with me!
