This is my new spot....still organizing and finding special places for my collection of vignettes!
Our "Cottage" at Vineyard Ridge"!

    What a lot of room in your 'cottage', so cosy and warm. Lot of snow, beautiful but we are longing for spring! I just to day put some flowers, violets, in our garden! Love from me.

  8. Oh Carolyn, what delightful photographs! Isn't it lovely how the women in our lives influenced our love of handwork! Even from wee tots we are able to recollect "the hatching of new ideas."
    Your studio spot is ever so cozy, and your new home very welcoming and clearly filled with love.
    Wishing you a splendid day sewing and watching the white fluff fall beyond the windowpane.
    Fondly,
    Judy
