Welcome!

A very warm hello to all the new visitors and followers that made there way over here from Sew Retro this past weekend!

Vintage Dinnerware

One thing in my home that I have always wanted an upgrade on are my dishes. I have a ton of vintage pieces, most of which seem to be serving bowls or platters, but none are matching. I don’t even want to get started on the dishes we use on a daily basis. I am [...]
