Isn’t it funny how sometimes the “innards”of an object are every bit aslovely as the outer appearance?

The winner will be able toselect 2 of their favorite Flour Sack Towels,created by Dana at Apple White. Since there were 95 entries,I used 2 {Read More}

I’ve been showing you some antique portraits on Antique Graphics Wednesday, but last night I bought what may be my favorite “antique” portrait. It’s ME…Victorian style!
