Unique Fiber Arts :: Giveaway

I happened upon Unique Fiber Arts last week, through a post on a friend’s facebook page, and after examining her wonderful work, was so pleasantly surprised to find that the creator of these lovely dolls is an old friend!  Debbie Reagan had a huge impact in my life, introducing me to the opportunity to work among those living in poverty just minutes from my home. She opened my eyes to great need, and modeled what it looks like to live out your faith with both conviction and love.

Among many other pursuits, she now handcrafts lovely Waldorf dolls, like this one, and sells them on her etsy shop.  (You know about etsy, right? If not, go search “”baby boots” on etsy.com. You’ll never buy off a registry again!) Be sure to check out Debbie’s shop!

To top it all off, she’s having a Valentine’s Day Giveaway.  For more details and to enter, please visit her giveaway post at Unique Fiber Arts before Friday.  Enjoy!

Flour Sifter, Repurposed

My mom is famous for garage sale-ing.  When I registered for my wedding, she made it her mission to find the well-loved, antique version of everything we registered for.  Among the treasures she found was this flour sifter, which resurfaced last week for my bread making, and found another nifty use this weekend as a serving dish.  I used it to showcase pretzels while serving chocolate fondue, along with a plate of strawberries, bananas, blueberries and chocolate chip cookie bars.  (Shown here with a slightly less decadent snack!)
