We became fast friends over gnomes and vintage. She is and ever will be one of my vintage swap partners and someone I check in with daily via the blogs.  Stephinie is the  author of the blog Gypsy Forest.

Stephinie and I share a great many things such as our love of cooking and just throwing things together as well as our great love of books, both for the kids and for the adults.

Today the foxes are visiting our friends in Louisiana and have received a warm Southern welcome. 

 She has been very busy sewing for her first art fair in Squam NH next month. She is really excited to be attending SAW with her mom. Stephinie lives in Louisiana and her moms lives in Alaska. "We don't see each other nearly enough. I am so happy that she will be at my side after the workshops to help me with the fair."

Also, She will be adding  organic items to her line of quilts and other handmades in her etsy shop. These items will debut at the Squam Art Fair, but her etsy shop will be pretty quiet while she prepares for Squam.

 After her return from New Hampshire, there will be some new items including DIY kits, project bags, home items and more that will make their first appearance over the month of June.
