    Goodbye Sweet Hippie Chic Laptop Tote

    One of the things I love the most about my online shop, Aunt Mayme’s Attic, is the opportunity to stretch my creativity.  Sometimes I get hurried, realizing that my shop is a little empty, and I get busy to make a bunch of things. I tell myself that I “need to get XXX amount of […]

  • Help Me With a New Tagline

    Well, it’s August, and it’s been four years since I opened my shop.  I always contemplate changes in August, although it might take me to December to implement them.  LOL.  So lately I’ve been thinking, and some have suggested, that I should have a new tagline, also known as a “byline”.  A tagline is a […]

  • This Past Week in Retrospect

    I’m intensely horrified and deeply saddened with the events over this last week.  As an American, I’m ashamed as to how my country is no longer the strong country it was.  What was, in my childhood, a proud place to live  has now become a battleground over racism and violence. Growing up in California, of […]

  • One of the Things I Truly Love About my “Job”

    Throughout my travels and connections with people, I come across some real gems.  “Gems” meaning people who are kind and enthusiastic about what I do.  The relationships I’ve established with them are wonderful and rewarding in such a way that I never experienced before, and I’m so very grateful for them. Just the other day, […]

  • I’ve Often Said I’m a Purslane Farmer

    Now, truly, I don’t “farm” purslane ( known to some as watercress, cat’s tongue, portulaca, pig weed) as purslane grows wild.  It, rather, “grows” on me–quite literally.  Every time I try to grow lettuce or peas, the darn stuff takes over, crowding out my seeds, and placing even more nitrogen in my soil. Yes, I’ve […]

  • Laurel Festival No. 2, Down!

    Well, it’s been a long weekend.  The 75th Annual Pennsylvania State Laurel Festival has come and gone.  And I was there, with bells on my toes.  Much of the days were spent talking to people; so many people and so kind.  I’d see them walk by the booth and gently smile, as if they were […]

  • Today, Memorial Day, will have a new member

    Today is a sad day.  Not only for it being Memorial Day, when we remember our dead.  But also a friend died today.  He was a good friend of Husband’s and he and Husband shared that relationship for longer than we have been married; over 20 years. We all come to the end of our […]

    “Hush, little baby, don’t say a word. Mama’s gonna buy you a mockingbird And if that mockingbird won’t sing, Mama’s gonna buy you a diamond ring And if that diamond ring turns brass, Mama’s gonna buy you a looking glass And if that looking glass gets broke, Mama’s gonna buy you a billy goat And […]

  • I Think I See Spring

    Well, it’s the last day of February and it got up to 63 degrees today.  Yes, six three, not the other way around.  When I think of all the other Februaries, I’m reminded of over 2 feet of snow, gray skies, and….. more snow.  Frigid temperatures over night, in the minus category. But today was […]

  • What I Like About the Early Part of Each Year

    Not only do I love the early part of the year because it’s cold, snowy and forces me to stay inside where it’s warm (but apparently not this year due to El Niño) but it also contains February,  a month that is sort of ethereal. What makes February so unique?  Is it because of the […]

  • Happy Holidays Everyone!

    As yet another year draws to a close, I’m reminiscent of all that’s happened. I won’t remind myself of the negativity of recent occurrences, but rather look forward to another year. In light of this, I’d like to share something about myself with you. Every holiday, I place an apple under my tree in honor […]

  • Spring Has Sprung. The Birds are Chirping; the Flowers are in Bloom

    Being out in the yard today, I heard all the birds of spring.  After the awfully cold winter and now 80+ degree temps during the day, it’s no wonder that everything has “blossomed”.  It’s a sound to behold when you can hear all the birds and their songs.  The robins with their “what’s wrong with […]

  • April, Say You Will! (Lead me into Spring)

    Well, it’s April already.  Husband has informed me that we have just one more week of heating material left; not three like last year.  Would you think it got a little colder this year?  I’d say so. So I’ve been in a mood, thinking of changing my wardrobe.  Want to get back to being a […]

  • Crafter Central to the Rescue!

    As some of you know, I have an Etsy shop called Aunt Mayme’s Attic.  Yes, I love working on it.  And some of you may know that Etsy has filed an application to “go public”.  This was just about the time I felt I had come up for air, with all the recent changes to […]
