Here's a photograph of a little touch I recently added to my home. The things hanging from the knobs are some linen and cotton handkerchiefs that belonged to both of my grandmothers back in the days when ladies actually carried handkerchiefs. Of course these were way too pretty to be used -- they were "just for show, not for blow," as one grandma used to say. The glass knobs came from a site called www.bmasseycreative.com, which I found after a way-too-long Google hunt for a knob that could be screwed into drywall without some kind of nut anchoring it on the other side. These knobs were exactly what I wanted; they're intended for hanging the beautifully decorated picture frames that www.bmasseycreative.com manufactures, but they'd be great hanging all kinds of things, like drapery tassels or quilts.
........................................ I'm the not-so-young single mother of two kids: Robespierre, a 5th grader who's the love of my life, and Cleopatra-Queen-of-the-Nile, a 2nd grader who is my heart. We live in the Midwest, where we spend way too much time shuttling to school, games, practices and playdates. In between, I squeeze in grocery shopping (hate it!), laundry (like washing; hate folding), puppy training (she's awfully cute, even when she's gnawing on my shoes) and running FeeFiFoto.com, a personalized gift web site.
But enough about me. What do you think of me?
