Alas, one man's trash, another's treasure! I collect far too many things in every category -- all the art and creative things and books, and pretty things that make me smile.

It also made me think to myself that in a family we are connected. Sometimes those connections may take time to appear, this is definitely the case for me as a child I didn't have a love for fabric or lace it was pencils/crayons/drawing but now in my early 40s I have fallen in love with fabric and vintage buttons and treasure any Lynne Moncrieffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10736157248294082863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245484638559018533.post-74777059264430668492011-04-02T11:31:42.638-05:002011-04-02T11:31:42.638-05:00OMG!!

Your post this past week is esp. dear to me as I've just started creating "snippets" and went shopping for fabric at JoAnn's.
