With all of the changes in our culture and society, there is a growing trend among people of all generations to seek out what we sometimes call "old-fashioned" traditions. While all of the modern conveniences that are available to us these days, including rapid communication, fast food, and super simple to use kitchen gadgets, sometimes it feels like life is just rushing by us and we can't keep up. For some of us, of all ages, there is a longing for discovering a slower, gentler way of life. That is what our focus will be here at Vintage Mama's Cottage! You will find traditional, "old-fashioned" home making skills, sewing, quilting, crafting, cooking, gardening, and even some of our friends will share their homesteading expertise with us. My areas of specialty will focus on refashioning and repurposing a variety of items, including clothing, fun jewelry making ideas, altered books, junk journals, and hand stitching projects such as quilting and slow stitching. If you are longing for a more peaceful approach to everyday life, please join me here where we can share our experiences, our successes and perhaps even some of the ways that things didn't go the way we planned . . . where we can learn from one another and encourage us all to discover moments of peaceful, gentle living even in the midst of the swirling of busyness that surrounds us every where we look. I hope you will join me on this journey!
