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

Nancy Drew Book Purse


I told you I was addicted! This is my latest Nancy Drew Book Purse. The Nancy Drew Mystery Stories by Carolyn Keene were first published in 1930 by Grosset and Dunlap. My Nancy Drew purses are of the 1960-70's series. The early Nancy Drew is smart, adventurous, flippant, and daring. She has captured our imagination and our spirit for mystery.

One of my customers response after receiving her book purse was: "this is an absolute darling :) i brought it out to the shops the moment i received in the mail n got many ooohs n aahs n admiring looks"
