I am glad that LeeAnna asks these questions. It is fun to think about the answers! did you get school clothes and shoes for the start of school? Did you look through the enormous Sears catalogue at all the possibilities and dream? Remember going to the store with probably a mom, and trying on clothes? A shoe store for your "school shoes" Back-to-school shopping was not done in our home. Mom bought clothes when she found a good bargain. Mom sometimes would sew or knit for us. We also got hand-me-downs. We were always clean and appropriately dressed for the season. I hated the ugly footwear she would buy for me. I now have a very large collection of gorgeous shoes! Lots of sparkles! My family got together this past weekend. Cousins, aunts, and uncles all came together for a barbecue at my home. There were 30 of us all told. 14 of which were under the age of 16. It is lovely to get caught...
I have been to Elora only once, but I loved it! We went for our 25th anniversary and stayed at the Inn. I enjoyed walking around the town and seeing all the shops along the river.
ReplyDeleteI wish I lived closer. I'd love to take a class with you.

ReplyDeleteHi Angela,
ReplyDeleteNice to meet another Canadian here in Blogland.
I must say your blog is fantastic, I love seeing everything you do..
I belong to a fibre arts group but I'm afraid I tend to lean to-ward bags, quilts, beads and dolls.I sell my things on Etsy.
Anyway did you meet Heather Stewart at Elora? I think she taught quilts there for the week?
She is one of 4 ladies in my quilt group (Mellow Yellows).
Anyway I am going to put you on my blog roll as your work is so inspiting..
Thanks for sharing.
xoxo
