A Great Time

Today's Wonderful Class...

Vintage Finds with Suzette!
This book is awesome and we will have on the schedule again in the Fall, so keep an eye out.

This is a great way to display some photos from Flea Market Shopping, Antiquing, or your Vintage Treasures you have been collecting at home!


This class had tons of techniques, binding, inking, some sewing and it was just a little bit messy.


Everyone did their own thing, at their own pace. Great class ladies!
