About Me

I am recently retired and now have the time to truly stop and "smell the roses"! I was diagnosed with both breast and kidney cancers eleven years ago. What an adventure that was! Early detection saved my life and I have much to be thankful for. I am a fan of unique and antique items. More often than not I will find something interesting at an antique mall, flea market, or garage sale that will call out to me. I've purchased a multitude of dustable "treasures" that way. I enjoy decorating for all holidays, but Halloween is my favorite. I like to do counted cross stitch on aged linen using reproduction sampler patterns and/or primitive charts.

Comment: Love the card. Very nicely done Sylvia. (Only thing missing was it being in a sleeve) .... which :) I don't give a rip about. It's beautiful & going in my junk journal for a little journaling card, so I wouldn't want it in a sleeve. I think the sleeve thing should be an optional thing anyway. THANKS for a nice swap. Love the little goodies too. Lots of journaling pieces, AND A FREE STAMP too .... your post didn't get cancelled .... HO HO HO! Have a great holiday.

Response: So sorry about the omission of a sleeve. It was one of those moments . . . when I asked myself if I did or didn’t. I think I was more concerned about the button making through the mail. I’m glad that it did. Thank you for the rating . . . and the heart, too!

Comment: Hi Sylvia and I love the vintage book page pocket you sent to me! There is even a little pocket on the back - so clever! And I see that your pocket on the front is made from a page from "Little Women" because I spotted my name printed near the top! And thank you so much for the envelope full of die cut butterflies - beautiful and I will use them for sure. Thanks so much for a great swap!!
