My 9 year old son, Alex was a great help last week. He hung every vintage hankie in the center display and all the birds on my little spring tree. He also added sales tags to all the paper dresses and was just a great help.

These last two weeks I have been busy juggling two major projects, at home and at the Checkered Corner.
Late at night, I have been creating new vintage hankie dresses, vintage linen pin cushions and vintage linen birds. I also have acquired a large collection of vintage hankies that I have washed and pressed and will have available for sale (have not made them into Hankie Dresses, just sell as is).
All this work needed to be done because I will be taking some time off. The kids and I will be taking a road trip this Friday (June 21st) to El Paso, TX to visit my family. Since we were not able to make this trip last summer, we plan on staying in El Paso for an extended time. We plan on returning sometime after July 10th. I miss my dad, mom, and sister the most. I just want to be with them and look forward to spending time with them. My kids also are looking forward to spending time with everyone, especially their cousins.
In order to display more items, I have changed many displays in the upstairs bedroom (Isa Creations) at the Checkered Corner. One of my favorite additions is the new wire spring hanging from the ceiling. I purchased the wire spring mattress at the Pink Attic Cat in downtown Littleton. I love displaying my vintage hankie dresses on it!
