WHAT'S A DOODAD?

Is that like a thingamajig?    This Saturday, February 28th, Linda will help you create your own, custom, personal Doodad Hanger.  You decide on the design as you know what you have that needs a place of its own.   Is it for jewelry, scarfs, kitchen, or garden tools?  For me, I would love one for notes and keys.  Someplace that I could hang a note and a place for my keys as they seem to get misplaced on occasion.  Linda will have a wide variety hooks, handles, pulls, vintage trays for magnets,  boards, everything you need to make that unique one-of-a-kind personal Doodad Hanger. Please bring a cordless drill and small drill bits (1/8 and 1/4 inch)  Everything included.  Class is from 11am - 1pm and cost is $28... call to reserve your space.

WE'RE HOME...

We just enjoyed a wonderful week at the beach going down Hwy 101 from Astoria to the redwoods where we experienced wild storms along the way.  We were greeted with wind, rain, and some sun breaks.  We saw herds of elk, deer, bald eagles, and sea lions.  We ate at quaint places and enjoyed meeting new people along the way.   And now we are home... with treasures.  I am so excited about the treasures... you can see a few in the picture...  It will soon be time to unload this trailer so I can share some of them with you!
