Celebrating What Was

My Auntie Angie is so crafty.  She has recently turned the inside of her closet into an office!  I've been asking her for photos and she sent these along.  What I love most is that she incorporates family heirlooms, favorite photos and books into a space that she'll see almost everyday.  Things like my grandmother's typewriter, a self-portrait my cousin Michael drew when he was little and an old photo of her sweet puppy, Bogie. I definitely get my love of recycling vintage things from my Aunt and my mother.
