Buy props used in MaryJane’s books and magazine!
5% of profits will benefit www.firstbook.org, a non-profit that provides new books to children from low-income families throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Here’s how:
MaryJane will post a photo and a description of a prop and its cost along with a few details as to its condition here: https://shop.maryjanesfarm.org/MaryJanesCurations. It’s a playful way to be the new owner of a little bit of farm herstory.




















Such an Edwardian look for the sewing room!
What a sweet idea to do what is called in the antique business a “make-do” ( something made out of a thing you can’t really use anymore- very often made into pin cushions ). I adore pincushions, and as a gardener I particularly love the tomato ones. You know with the little strawberry emery attached? I’ve got a few of those both new and antique. And then that led to veggie ones, pumpkins, apples, pears and…. so on.
Love this idea. I usually find uses that are “not usual” for so much stuff here in my home. And this past Christmas a dear friend gave me a felted teacup pinchusion that is just darling. This has led to my desire to find the fitting shelf for a wall in my craft/sewing room to display the many antique sewing items I have collected over the years. Time to enjoy them, rather than unpacking them occasionally to look at. Sigh- so many ideas, so little time!
So true!!!! Too many ideas, especially for a crafter/seamstress.
