  I love the simple pattern and simple fabric choices!



The recycled girl in me loves this table topper.  Made out of her husbands ties~ circa 1970 I suppose



This photo truly captures what it feels like to be a part of a group of women who travel up to 2 hours to meet once a month and share their passion with each other.
