In the Hope Chest

I Remember when I was a child, the mystery surrounding a hope chest was almost more than I could bear. I didn't even understand the concept, but knew it was something special and I wanted one of my own some day. Every year my older sister received something for Christmas "for your hope chest." As the years passed, I started to understand that the meaning of owning a "Hope Chest" was different for everyone. For some it was planning for a special wedding day that was sure to come, others used it to store heirloom linens and treasures passed down from generations, and yet for some, it held sad memories of dreams never realized. If you've been lucky enough to have a hope chest or perhaps had a glimpse into someone's, you'll find that no matter the purpose, each "Hope Chest" tells a story. What's yours?

It's official. I'm moving to Asheville NC on October 7, 2008. I very excited because of all the place I have lived, Asheville is my favorite place. I am moving my business too. The beauty of having a website is that no matter where you live you can still have your business. I also plan to rent space at a shop in Asheville.



So to get everything together I am having a sale. Every thing in my store is on sale. This is not just a few percent off either. I have reduced every price as low as I can go. If I sell it I don't have to pack it, is my motto.



I will also be adding some things in the next few days too. So stay tunned.

I'm a little early -- this being Sunday -- but I did want to post this embroidered pillowcase I just finished. Of course I have to do "Hers" now. When that one is finished I add it to my website. These His and Hers pillowcases are all hand embroidered by me and have several different stitches.

Show and Tell Monday

I love show and tell Mondays because it gives me a chance to share with everyone what I'm working on, new products and to celebrate with all my pink sisters at Make Mine Pink.

Besides adding some vintage handkerchiefs, a vintage dresser scarf, and a feed sack I have finished these products myself.
