Kerfuffle-Upon-Wincle

about me

Hello! Thanks for visiting my page ~

Wincle is in the UK ~ and I hope to see it one day! Possibly, in another life, I've lived there before ~ in an estate called TapThornThistle ~

This is the view from my front porch in Marietta, GA ~


This is my view from my back deck ~

Tranquil, isn't it? I love living in a forest!

I'm a mother to three grown successful children, and GramLolly to four beautiful grandchildren ~

I love to antique and have an appreciation of old things, especially items passed down to me from family: a Singer treadle sewing machine, oak crank wall phone, mantle clocks, flat irons, butter molds, churns and crocks, and iron cornstick pans from a grandmother, an ice cream scoop and parfait glasses from an aunt ~ my mother's Moss Rose china.

I have many collections: hand held food choppers, along with the cornstick pans decorate the walls in my small kitchen. In the den, hang wrought iron farm implements ~ i.e, rotary hoes, rakes and gears ~

I also collect twist handle butter knives, odd thistle patterned silver serving pieces, aprons, cookbooks, thistle pins, feather pins, small wall mirrors, and old framed floral crewel or needlepoint cottage or barn pieces.

Below are my latest eBay needlework rescues ~ eventually they will end up on a wall!



I am a big Africam and Pete's Pond fan, and enjoy working National Geographic's online puzzles.

I LOVE RecipeZaar! I had my one day of fame on 11-30-08, for being chosen Chef of the Day!
