I have 2 older sisters so I have been "upcycling" since I was kid. My first store bought dress (that I remember) was when I was in the 7th grade. I have to admit that when I was a kid the idea of hand me downs wasn't something I was "into". But now that I am (more than) grown I enjoy hunting for the "old time" treasures (many of which makes ME feel vintage) but which many times I actually KNOW the heritage!. But other items (like the mug above) give me the opportunity to research and learn more about the interesting history involved in the pieces. I admire those (above) who can use their hands to produce lovely goods. I always loved getting those once a year Christmas knitted booties from my Nonna (grandma) when I was a kid and which would completely wear out before the next years gift. Thank you for including my item in your blog. Please come by anytime and have a look. I try to get new items listed as often as I can.
