About Me

I am recently retired and now have the time to truly stop and "smell the roses"! I was diagnosed with both breast and kidney cancers eleven years ago. What an adventure that was! Early detection saved my life and I have much to be thankful for. I am a fan of unique and antique items. More often than not I will find something interesting at an antique mall, flea market, or garage sale that will call out to me. I've purchased a multitude of dustable "treasures" that way. I enjoy decorating for all holidays, but Halloween is my favorite. I like to do counted cross stitch on aged linen using reproduction sampler patterns and/or primitive charts.

Comment: . Thank you. Second envelope arrived. I esp.like the photograph pc.

Response: My mailing to you was not an intentional insult. The cat post card was merely an extra, because I have traded with you before and know that you like cats. I have received many items from the 1990 timeframe from other traders. I didn't realize that what they were sending me would be considered unacceptable. Thank you for pointing out my mistake. I will resend.
