Me

I’m Calandra.  My friends call me Callie.

My two loves are sewing and all things vintage, which is why inspiring sewing with vintage sewing patterns is a perfect synergy, at least in my world.

Here’s a little bit more about me…

These things I love:

Being a northerner from a southern family, chow chow, hot foods, cold lemonade, a glass of wine, Gucci, a comfortable home, full gardens, simple living, porches, cashmere coats, faith in God, good music, enlightening conversation, positive people, expressing creativity, thin leather gloves, denim, pencil skirts, demure high heels, sunny weather, beautiful colors, sunshine, walking in the rain, old movies, new thought, design, white shirts, doing things out of the ordinary, the spur of the moment, naturalists, provoking thought, sewing, writing, dreaming, people willing to help others, Christmas Eve, good food, running a business, traveling, art, photography, reading, cooking, essential oils, Chanel, vintage jewelry, clothing and accessories, hippy spirits, herbs, natural simple frugal living, making what I can use, family (my husband (Sam), daughter (Ky) and two grands), vintage books, tea, listening to the rain, freshly fallen snow, fairy tales, children stories, illustration, old-time radio, the smell of dirt and hot pavement after a spring or summer rain, living freely,  natural personal beauty and…

These things I do not love:

Artificial and false people, pretense, self absorption, self pity, selfishness, whining, schedules and anything or anyone who brings evil into the world.
