Things Your Grandmother Knew Update & Link Round-Up

I can't believe I've left you here without a post for so long! Between the new old house to fix up, our expanding antiques & collectibles business, and regular summer stuff, I've just not had the time to get scanning and posting as much as I'd like to. Once the kids get back into school, I will have more time. ...I hope. *wink*

I have been curating at at Pinterest, Scoop.It, and Snip.It. There are collections for my 3-5 year house plans, organization, and, of course, vintage living -- among a host of other topics.

(Also, on a personal level, I've begun collecting vintage Gay Fad glassware!)

Joyce Garris, an avid knitter from Huntley, Illinois, created a time-saving knitting tool called After This Row:

Priced affordably at just $1.99, the After This Row project sheets are designed to relieve the guesswork for knitters returning to their knitting projects. Whether they have put it down for a few hours, a few days or a few weeks, knitters will know exactly where they left off, almost as if they never put their projects down.

(Now all I need to do is learn how to knit and I'll be kept on track! With knitting, at least lol)
