I was thinking about a plea to the dudes to go straight to Primrose Design (Scranton,PA), but I’ve reconsidered. This is just one of those things we just need to do for ourselves. These Vintage Handkerchief Sachets [filled with lavender] are absolutely beautiful. We will enjoy them for a long, long time.
Janet McCaffrey of Primrose Design creates pillows and home accessories from vintage materials. She collects her materials from, “flea markets, yard and garage sales, auctions, antique shops and on ebay.”
Janet shares on her site that she learned to sew and to embroider from her grandmother, Kathleen. She also mentioned that she left her “9-5″ job and is now creating pillows and accessories and freelancing as a graphic designer full time. Kudos to Janet! I ‘m heading off to order my sachets!
Kate, along with her husband, bring together farm, food and design at The Steel Fork. They also design and create sculptural metalworks using recycled farm machinery – Gatski Metal. Kate is also the mother of two busy little children.
These are so sweet and girly!
You’re so right Leslie. They are so lovely.
Thanks for the mention Kate and I hope you’re enjoying the sachets you bought! I just wanted to say that, in addition to my website, shoppers can purchase my products at Hello Bluebird in West Reading and Green Being in Scranton. Both shop owners are big supporters of handmade crafts, especially those made in Pennsylvania. I delivered new goodies to both shops this past week and I’m working hard on more things to keep them both stocked up for the holidays!
The sachets are absolutely wonderful! I highly recommend them; perfectly lovely gifts or treats for yourself. Thank you Janet. I’m glad you mentioned Hello Bluebird and Green Being. Thanks!
