I just made these today and I love them! Long ago I purchased a journal made from a woolly willy game, so I can’t take credit for the idea- but I did gather this little collection of vintage and new games. We’ll be showing them off at Pensacola’s Earth Day celebration tomorrow- where we’ll be [...]

I didn’t plan this, but the most recent additions to my etsy shop speak all about what’s going on with my life right now. They are all made from vintage cards (flash and game) and I could just eat them all up! There’s the Florida playing card notebooks that remind me that our three years [...]

I found out recently that something of mine was published in Garth Johnson’s (of Extreme Craft fame) 1000 Ideas for Creative Reuse by Quarry Books. It’s been out for about a week now and I haven’t seen a copy, but I’ll post the pages that I’m on when I get my hands on one. Garth [...]

Have I mentioned that the Port City Market has switched to Saturday mornings for the winter? It’s delightful. It’s lovely fall mornings shared with lovely people and their homegrown and homemade goods. It’s cozy. We were on the news a few weeks ago and there’s a quick view of our little booth. Today is trick-or-treating, [...]
