Introduction	In a nutshell, I’ve always enjoyed creating things and L-O-V-E vintage. In addition I am a craft enthusiast — I adore finding treasures and playing with old and new materials to create something new! In 2003, I decided to unleash my creative energy and began a home- based jewelry business and found my élan! Happy to stay at home and repurpose jewelry, I was also a wife and mother. But our world fell apart when my husband suddenly passed away. With less time to create, my focus turned to selling vintage and antique jewelry online rather than designing. Constantly a learning process, I have garnered much knowledge about precious keepsakes and have once again begun utilizing these unique pieces in my designs. When not creating with vintage findings, you can find me at a flea market, antique mall, spending precious time with beloved family and friends. In the summer look for me in the garden or at an outdoor concert or happily whipping up a recipe found on Pinterest. In my blog you will find the musings of a widow, a mother, a friend and daughter. I have a passion for life and never have another hours in a day! xo

For your birthday, your aunt gave you a maple syrup dispenser shaped like a rooster. Please write her a thank-you note:

Dear Auntie, You can't imagine my delight when I saw that rooster shaped syrup dispenser. My pancakes, french toast and waffles will taste even better than before with syrup dispensed from something so special. Thank you for thinking of me. Love your grateful niece
