Vintage Seam Binding

I love vintage seam binding! I was very lucky to find some at an estate sale last year. I have held on to it for a year and never used it. I have seen so many people use it in different ways. So, this week I decided to list it on eBay to pass on to someone who can put it to good use. It is so vibrant, soft and clean! If you are interested you can view the auction here.

that exciting news i promised

I just realized that I never shared my exciting news. Most of you probably already saw it on my other blog. I recently opened another shop on Etsy! It is devoted more to "crafty" things and supplies. Here is a link to my new shop, LovingAddie. I have SO much more to put on there but can't find the time. I am in the middle of preparing for a garage sale; perhaps after that is done I will be able to put some more items on there.

this was meant for my kitchen, but...

ended up not working out so I just listed it in my Etsy shop. I really like the letters but it just didn't look right in my kitchen.

Keep checking back...I have something exciting to share with you...and no I am not pregnant! :o)

a request for a hurting friend

My heart is aching today for a dear friend. Becky at Sweet Cottage Dreams lost her oldest son yesterday. My thoughts and my prayers are with her. I cannot imagine losing a child.

Becky was one of the first people to comment on my blog. I have had the privilege of hearing her sweet voice over the phone. After taking a trip to an antique shop and posting pictures on here Becky spotted a sweet little cottage embroidered picture that she wanted. I snatched it up for her and in the mail it went. She was such a kind and delightful person to get to know.

I don't know any details (and I really don't need to) all I know is that she is hurting and needs our prayers. Will you please go to her blog and let her know that you are thinking of her?

You should stop over here to see all of the awesome red and white polka dots!
