Handmade objects always have a story. They have a real character and charm over mass-produced items. My blog is featuring all the handmade items I make and I'm also going to post Free Patterns for crocheting, knitting and other crafts. I'm also going to post my favourite recipes for free! Are you interested in a certain pattern or recipe? Feel free to contact me.

I love to recycle books and records and create unique purses, clocks, IPhone docks, Ereader Tablet Covers, hollow safe books. You can find my crafting in My RETROGRANDMA Etsy Store

I also love to seek out collectible treasures and you can find them in my RetroClassics shop on Etsy

I've had a number of opportunities for my unique handmade items to be featured on many blogs. I LOVE the RETRO ERA and that's why they call me "RETROGRANDMA"! FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER: http://www.twitter.com/Retrograndma

Altered Book Purses - Nancy Drew - Clue of the Dancing Puppet by Carolyn Keene


I'm back at it again! Had a week's holiday trip (to see the grandkids and kids of course) and then I don't know where last week went. Since I sold a few of my Nancy Drew purses I created another called The Clue of the Dancing Puppet by Carolyn Keene. Copyright of this book is 1990 and it has a gloss hardcover. The older versions do not. There's a photo of a ballerina and the colours of the hardcover really appealed to me. I did not know that there were alot of Nancy Drew fans out there - they're my most popular sellers!
