ONE DAY I will learn to knit!\"\"<\/a>(My newest addition to my ‘knit items’ collection. My three year old looks so sweet in this hooded sweater and she loved it’s pockets.)<\/div>\n

For now I adore buying hand made items for my family. It is art to me. I am always looking for local artists. The collection is not all local but it is definitely growing!<\/p>\n

The blanket pictured below started it all. I have had it for years and years. It was made by my grandmother for my grandpa’s bed. When he died I would sleep over and us this blanket. It wasn’t long after I moved away to college that this blanket was mailed to me by Grandma and I cherish it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>(Can you see my three year old snug in this blanket?)\"\"<\/a>(Scarf made by my aunt for my eldest daughter; soft and pretty!)\"\"<\/a>(One of my first hand made finds at a local second hand store. My eldest daughter looks so pretty in this sweater.)<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>(Another of my many second hand store finds. This one I picked up in Flin Flon<\/span> Manitoba on a vacation this summer. I couldn’t believe how reasonably priced this big blanket was!)<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>(Two adorable hand made stuffies<\/span> I couldn’t resist. Lady Penelope Violet is the bear and a locally made find. Her best friend is the black sheep, made in Kenya, named Lord Percy Woolworth.)<\/div>\n

There is something beautiful about hand made that can never be replaced by mass made. When I find a new blanket or sweater and I take hold of it I can’t help but imagine a story about who made it and think about that creative person working away with dedication so I could enjoy such a lovely item.<\/p>\n
