I have always had a fascination for these beautiful glass conservatories.  I always try to get inside if at all possible.  Unfortunately have not had the pleasure to visit Michigan.

Sepia Saturday

 Bringing new memories to old images.

When I was a child I visited this towel shop with my Aunt Hannah, her husband Stud, and granddaughter Jane.  Aunt Hannah was quite a character.  She loved to crochet, seemingly 24 hours a day.  Every towel in our house had crocheted borders.  She bought towels by the pound I think.  They made beautiful gifts for any occasion.  Actually Hannah is the inspiration for this blog.  

She was my Auntie Mame.
