Sunday Morning

Sunday mornings are my favorite time ~ The house is quiet as all other family members sleep in. Coffee never tasted so good as when I am exploring etsy and artfire at my leasure.

This week, I added 2 new items to my shop, both seem to have the same color themes.. which was not planned but just happened.

This set of wool nesting bowls remind me of the 70's - yes, we did have and avacado refridgerator in our kitchen!


And this golden wheat scarf was a test run that turned out beautifully! I tried a new knitting stitch that has become my favorite.. be on the look out for more in this pattern using wools and wool blends


Don't forget to visit me on etsy, shophandmade and artfire.

Hooker Spotlight ~ RetroCrochet



I was a young free spirit in the 70' which really was a groovy time to be a teen. And when I found RetroCrochet's shop, the memories came flooding back!

My first record album was Carol King ~ Tapestry and I listened to it over and over and over! I still know every word of every song. I watched the Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family and who can forget the Gong Show!



I can't help but smile when I see RetroCrochet's work. Her shop is so sunny and bright. I can't image the work that goes into making these earrings with tiny strands of threads. Retro ~ keep up the great work.





I love the fact that styles and symbols that were popular when I was young are so popular now. It is so true ~ everything old IS new again.
