Freshly Found... Then and Now♥

Please enjoy these delightful illustrations from a vintage 1940's book called Knitted Garments for All by Jane Koster and Margaret Murray.

I've used them to help me tell a Freshly Found Yarn...

But that's not the case at all.  On one hand things are...

The Instagram moment was a farewell to my daughter Christy Kiggan who has been with Freshly Found for many years in a part-time and full-time capacity.  She has moved on to work with a local advertising agency.  She has had a vital role and will be missed, but very exciting things are in store for her in her new direction.

I'll still be heading up Freshly Found with a number of part-time talented crafters on hand.
There is going to be a greater emphasis on stirring up creative talent in you the Freshly Found reader.  Look forward to patterns being published and many more tutorials to get you...

folding, stitching, printing, dyeing, etc., etc!

The Freshly Found emphasis will remain on using found, vintage and recycled...

 Old handcrafts interpreted in a trendy way, because I love the...

between old and new.  Between History and the way it shapes our future.  
So watch out for quirky 

and products in the online store as well as

 and know-how for

your own Freshly Found products too!
