Over the weekend, my mister & I went and visited Amish Acres waaayyy down in Nappanee, Indiana and found an jeweler who lives in Edwardsburg, MI. Lois Miller makes the coolest things with your heirloom china – you can send things in to her, OR you can find some really cool stuff (the stuff I like the most) in her potpourri section. Visit vintagekeepsakejewelry.com.

I have been taking a break from needle crafts so that I can concentrate on my 2-d work of painting and drawing. I just want to say – I hope I sell some paintings soon because I wan the kit for this Crocheted Throw “Amelie” it is so beautiful. I guess I could take it up in my downtime. It’s making me drool.
