Hello, world! Welcome to my blog! My name is Laurie, and I call my blog "Indulge Your Shelf" because I often post about the pretty things that catch my eye at antique stores, thrift shops, estate sales, street fairs, flea markets and the like -- and end up on my shelf at home, or in my Etsy shop by the same name ! My maternal grandmother had a great love for pretty old things, and it was she who taught me to rummage for treasures in thrift shops, to collect what I love, to sew, and to embroider. And, that's another thing I write about often on my blog: creating! I love to sew and re-purpose vintage and antique linens into pillows and sachets, plus, I do a little bit of crazy quilting (and sane quilting, too); and, lately I'm big into paper crafting with ephemera. In fact, I probably do paper art more than sewing these days. I also do some regular, special event scrap booking. I love paper -- the older the better! I collect many small...
Using Julia's (aka The Spotted Sparrow) Valentines, which combine two of my favorite things -- antique images and 1980's music! -- I created this fun banner to enjoy for the whole hearts and flowers season!

I got a few cards from Julia and have been holding on to them until I decide what to do with them. Hmmm. . .
