This little black singer would sit on my dinning room table my whole childhood. I would watch my sister create wonderful things with it. Great stuff animals, clothing, dolls, etc... My brother even got into the act making a frostline snow jacket one year. I also remember my father using it to make a canvas top for our pop up camper. I still remember the days I would plead my sister for left over fabric to create with. Of course she spent more time then she would care to fix the messes I would create with the thread. It still remains the best machine I have and many more great creative creations to come.
As a child I always wanted the little jewerly music box that when opened the little ballarina would pop up and turn to the music. While at To Every Nation Thrift Store I found what as a child I never had but I do now. It needs some cleaning and I may make some changes, maybe.
I love decoration for Easter, I try and find great decorating pieces at thrift stores. This little vintage guy came from To Every Nation Thrift Store.
My sisters have been creating the most wonderful stamps using speedo carving kits and making prints. My daughter Kristen made a great one for me a few years back, it has been framed and hanging in my studio. Time to take it down and make some more prints. Check out my sister Gail's prints @ onefinepencil.blogspot.com and Meri's @ meriwinkle.blogspot.com
I am so enjoying my visit with my sister Gail. We spent the day at the local thrift stores, then on to a great lunch, and then a walk and treasure hunt on the beach. The tide brought in these beautiful jelly fish, the colors were amazing. 
THIS PHOTO MEANS THE WORLD TO ME... THE ONLY ONE I HAVE SEEN WITH ALL OF THE GIRLS ... meri in front, gail in back and nancy peeking in bottom. So sweet, it brings tears to my eyes.
