Hearth and Home

"One man's junk is another man (or woman's) treasure"...how true!

We love to up-cycle & re-fashion vintage and gently used clothing & linens; we also

embellish clothing, aprons, handbags and other wearable accessories as well as pillows, tea towels, and the like for the personalized, sustainable home. Many of us heard our Mothers and Grandmothers say, "use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without"...a great idea, don't you think?

Some of us paint, some sew, others crochet or knit...we are all crafters, and with a burning desire to teach younger women the art of hearth and home with an emphasis on frugality and sustainability.


Sustainability is the capacity to endure. In ecology, the word describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time. Long-lived and healthy wetlands and forests are examples of sustainable biological systems. For humans, sustainability is the potential for long-term maintenance of well being, which has environmental, economic, and social dimensions, and encompasses the concept of stewardship, the responsible planning and management of resources.

...and do we love junkin'? Yes, indeed, we do!
