Times Not Forgotten Shop on Etsy

Today I changed the name of one of my Etsy shops to Times Not Forgotten.  You can find it here www.timesnotforgotten.com  I will focus on vintage and antique items (not altered) and also some antique and vintage inspired items where I'll make creations from vintage items.  Of course these will lose the vintage quality and will fall under the handmade category on Etsy.  I'm not quite sure which direction this shop will take but I used to love going antiquing and yard saling with my parents and finding interesting items.  I have a bit of a collection and we'll see what comes of it.  Who knows.  I feel this will take me in a direction of family memories and at the same time honour what my parents loved to do.  Family is so very important and I think this will be a nice way to keep these memories even closer to my heart than they already are.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone!  I hope the new year brings you all much health, happiness and love.  You never know what a year will bring.  It's been a couple of years without my parents and having lost them it really brings home how important family is.  My son will be coming over for dinner later today and I've made these cupcakes.  I love baking and cooking for family.  I hope he enjoys them and that I'm creating some wonderful memories for him.  Unfortunately my husband is working today but he'll be back a bit later and will be able to spend a bit of time with us.  Treasure your family everyone because you just never know what a year will bring.  All the best in 2012.
