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 Lamp


















Now I have my husband busy with this Nancy Drew Book Lamp. It's made with 2 Nancy Drew Books bound together. Stack more of your favourite books under the lamp if you would like it higher or just for a more decorative look. The 6 foot cord has an on/off switch. What a unique lamp! I'm in the process of making more lamps with different books so please keep checking my Etsy shop.
