Memories of Farley Granger


Hollywood lost another old movie star yesterday. Farley Granger passed away yesterday at the age of 85. Most know for his roles in Alfred Hitchcock's "Strangers On A Train" and "The Rope", one of his lesser known films and one I really like is "Side Street". If you ever catch it on TCM be sure to check it out.

Back in September of 2007 my husband and son attended the Pine Bluff Film Festival and had the opportunity of meeting Mr.Granger and viewing "Strangers On A Train" in a historic old movie theater. It was a lovely experience. Here are some photo's from that night.

Anchors Aweigh!!

One of my very best clients had a request for a 1940's style popcorn stitch bag. I used my Lillian vintage pattern to make her this darling bag in navy blue with a nautical print lining and tiny anchor zipper pull. The handle is accented with clear sparkled plastic rings.

POLL: Beautiful COLORS!


As mentioned in my post the other day I am taking stock of my yarn colors and deciding what colors to keep for the 1940's snood and what colors to discontinue. I am also considering adding some new ones.
The picture above shows the current colors I carry. Below are some colors I can add if there is enough interest in them.
Please take a look and vote in the polls on the right. You can vote for as many colors as you like. I will keep the polls open for one week. Tell your friends! I appreciate your feedback!
Thank you!
