Hello! My nickname is Daffy.
My nickname was given to me by my grandparents. I was in love with the first flowers of spring and anything colored yellow. Back in my days, our clothing was homemade. Many of my dresses were predominately yellow. Many also were floral prints. Hence the name of Daffy. Still to this day, I love the color yellow, love daffodils and look forward to spring time so I can reminiscence of days gone by.
When not involved in Church activities, I enjoy Sewing, painting ceramics, quilting, growing container gardens, feeding & watching birds, going to yard sales & flea markets, traveling the backroads sightseeing, shopping on ebay and most of all, I enjoy teaching teenagers how to sew. I've acquired many collections over the years, some of those collections include: Noah's Ark Figurines, Elephant Figurines, vintage kitchen items, strawberry items for my kitchen, vintage valentines, vintage sewing patterns, colorful vintage costume jewelry, Camark pottery, Fireking glasswear, commemorative postage stamps, ACEO's and last but not least, daffodil related items.
The baby booties shown at the right were the first 'daffodil' related items I owned. They were made by my GrandMother. Daffodils are just one my favorite flowers & yes my yard is completely covered in the spring with hundreds of varieties. One bedroom in my home is decorated with vintage items from the 1940's & '50's in memory of my grandparents who started my appreciation for daffodils.
