Who's Behind That?

Today is all about giving props to everything handmade.  Most importantly, the person behind the creation.  Go through your home and purposely look for all the handmade items you are fortunate to call yours.  As you look at each item, remember the person who made it.  Their story... their legacy... their love, time and effort in creating. Now, I challenge you to display those great items in a way that honors the creator.  Here is a small sample of items I found in my home and the wonderful people behind them. 

This little ditty was made by a creative, fun natured lady I have the privilege to call friend.  Her very useful and pretty aprons can be found in her etsy shop.

Ah, my favorite covering!  This phenominal quilt was made by Mrs. Marylin.  She has quilted for years and gifted me this treasure.  Mrs. M doesn't sell her creations.  Although, her attention to detail surpasses bedding I've seen at high end retail stores.  I only regret that my old fashioned camera doesn't pick up all those details.

This is me showing off a handmade scarf.  My daughter got me to crochet this Christmas break along with her.  Although, made by me, I think of her insistance in me joining with her through this old, female, family tradition . I also think of our quality "girl time", my grandma, mom and sister who kept this tradition going.  

Below are my favorite handmade opera length necklaces. Hum...the wheels are turning.  I think I know what to put in the Grab Bag soon. 

I just realized how most of these pretties are neutral colors.  Well, I am naturally drawn to earth tones ya know.  Wishing you happy hunting for the person behind your handmade treasures.
