Featured Seller: The Pink Tulip



Two words:
Spun Cotton

I never knew I loved spun cotton until I found The Pink Tulip.
This piece is totally amazing:


Maryanne's profile reads:
"I taught myself to knit, crochet, and sew by the time I was eighteen years old. I've been gardening since about eleven years old. Flowers and sewing are my favorite things !!! With sewing I love to mix antique or vintage fabric, buttons, anything old with new. And I enjoy making my own patterns. "


I am so captured by Maryanne's little world; her magical creations. Stop in and see for yourself!
Love,
Sadie Lou
