It started out as a joke but the more I talked about it the more I began to get excited. There's a vender's market and resale shop here called the "Toad House" and when I went there the first time I knew I could do it. I started out talking about getting a small space and when I began to make things, Ed encouraged me to get the whole space. Then I had him out looking for "old" things to use as display items!! I've been sewing and beading and have woodworking to be done. I've got so many ideas that I can't get it all done. Libby has even gotten involved. She's made some beautiful knitted scarves. My beaded crosses and Ed's honey are selling well. I can't wait to try some of the other items I have in my head. Here are some pictures of "Straight from the Heart" at the Toad House.
These are "Everything" Bags. Can't wait till one sells. I have an Ole Miss one ready to sew up. They make good book bags for college students or diaper bags.
Being "retired" is fun. I get to play a lot--doing things I love to do!!
