Found a lot of antique postcards. This one is my favorite. Sent to a judge at the LaSalle Hotel in Chicago, postmark June 6, 1916.

Good side effect of volunteering my time for the food pantry: steady supply of clean free boxes and packing materials for shipping. Now to add this pile to my already huge cardboard mountain without causing an avalanche, lol.

What is the deal with ebay changing my list price after I've entered them into drafts? I check comps and start a listing on my phone, upload photos then go to the laptop to finish and they have changed my listing price (always making it lower than I had it) in the draft. Quit wasting my time, ebay!

I picked up a set of four lighthouse plates in a thrift store in TN, with 3 unique plates and 1 duplicate, and found 4 more a month later in a NY thrift store, with 3 unique plates and 1 duplicate, and just realized the duplicates from each are the missing plates from the other set. I now have two of each plate. Good things come to those who thrift.

Not quite finished stitching project, on a fabric sample rescued from the landfill. Should I stitch more foliage, or add white clover blossoms?

A great auction lot of wood planes, and 1draw knife, after a quick cleaning to remove the loose dust and rust. Next stop: repairs, serious cleaning, conditioning, sharpening.

New Year, new hustle! I'm combining three things I love working with into one, new adventure: introducing Fibers Flowers and Finds. A place to pull together my love of fiber art and linens, creating beautiful bouquets, and vintage items. A place to embrace my ever-changing focus and pull it all together. Adventure awaits!
