The winners!!!

We Won!! - The Christmas tree Raffle at the Mosaic Marketplace. We were informed of our win by Ginger Mallard of Altered Wing Studios!
We took our Granddaughter, Paige Abbott to what was promoted as a: “Dickens’ themed Holiday artisan market featuring handmade, re-purposed, and vintage wares.” It was staged at Big League Dreams Redding, in the indoor pavilion. The many vendors set up their spaces with much decoration and attention to detail. Each Vendor was part of a beautiful Victorian Marketplace. They were raffling off a 7' pre-lit tree, completely decorated with 150 meticulously made, handmade ornaments; each totally unique and individualized to those who crafted it. Terry and I have not had our own tree for the last 10 years and Terry longingly looked at this ‘Masterpiece’ and bought 3 raffle tickets! Paige commented at the time: “Granny; your house is not big enough!”
The Tree touches our ceiling with more lights than we can count! We are Still in Awe of each ornament we unpack! This Christmas will be; very, very special and we thank each and every one who personally made ornaments! The Love put into each Ornament speaks Volumes of many Good Folks’ CHRISTmas Spirit and our family will feel it for years to come! Especially;This year, in that it is our 40 year wedding Anniversary on Christmas Eve.

Congrats Abbots!!! Thank you ALL for coming out and making this event amazing!!! We had a great time and hope you did too!! Much Love! Ginger

Never Enough Lace

I can simply never have enough lace. I love it all. I love the textures and designs. The patterns are endless. My very favorite is tatted lace. It is amazing to me how it is so intricate and patiently made. It's elegant and feminine and I have to have it when I find it at a yard sale.

I enjoy the tablecloths, too. Complete with food stains...I manipulate them into clothing for a new lease on life. The memories behind the laces and ribbons that we harvest are vast and I often wonder who made them, who gave them and who received them. Was it wedding gift? Did a little girl wrap herself up in the white lace tablecloth and dream of the day she would be a bride? Did someones great grandmothers knarled, old hands spends months crocheting this beautiful piece I have laid out on my cutting table? And the gloves...oh, the gloves. What elegant woman wore these leather gloves with pearls hand sewn up the side? Whose tears were dried with the little white hankie that I just sewed into the hem of a garment?

I love it. I love it all. Each piece I begin to create takes on a life all of its own. I may think I am leading the creating...I have a idea in my head but then a piece of tatted lace falls to the side in a crooked little way as if to say, "I belong here..." and so I go with it. I keep layering, lace, buttons, hankies and gloves until I finally SEE it. I stand back and behold the lovely thing that I created. I know it's going to be worn by another elegant lady who appreciates the things from the past and will feel beautiful while wearing it.

I can never have enough lace, buttons, gloves and hankies. They are my muse.
