I am a total sucker for these mother-child Story Corps sound bites lately. This one had me all blubbery during my morning commute today. (This from someone who was once called “stone-hearted” because the movie Beaches didn’t make me cry.) Maybe my biological clock is trying to tell me something.

Inherited Notions

Notions, originally uploaded by Avenue [Handmade].
OK, I know, I promised illustrated tales of my latest craft fair adventure…soon, my dears, soon. It’s hard to blog lots of photos when you spend 40 hours a week away from the computer that holds said photos and your work computer doesn’t read your jump drive. I know, I know, it’s a hard life I lead. No really, I promise a posting of those photos this weekend…and maybe even a website launch….
Anyway, just wanted to share this bit of eye candy in the form of some vintage sewing notions I recently inherited from my paternal grandmother. (more…)

Elephant LOVE
February 20, 2008 · No Comments
Check out the adorableness by Teresa at Sewing Stars (via the Craftzine blog)! Not only is it possibly one of the cutest elephants ever, but she made it while she was sick! Last time I was sick, I tried soldering some stuff…and gave up after about 10 minutes. I was coughing so badly I almost soldered my wedding ring to my hand. Thanks, Teresa, for sharing this and I wish you a speedy recovery!

"Enjoy, Your Mail Lady Susan"

spools again
Originally uploaded by avenuehandmade
Thanks to a passing remark by my husband, our mail lady came to discover my obsession with vintage spools, and one day I came home to find two gallon-size Ziploc bags stuffed with spools in our mailbox–they were bequeathed to Mail Lady Susan by her mother. So sweet of her. Aren’t they pretty??
Happy Monday!
