This sweet key was given to me this past week when my daughter was unpacking some of her things since her move here. It is a replica she purchased at the Whitefish Point Lighthouse gift shop, most likely one of the lighthouse keepers from long ago. But, I just love it!! Last night, she sent me a link that they still needed volunteers to stay at some of the lighthouses this year as “keepers” in part of a volunteer program Michigan does with many of their lights. I am sending an email this morning to see if any of those “spots” are still available. What an awesome service that would be!
These are a few fabric tags that I made a few weeks back. Still getting used to the sewing machine, but I am further then I was two months ago controlling and using it. The weather has been so gorgeous here this past week, all I want to do is be outside and drink it in.
They are so adorable, dear Nancy,- lovely in the tones of the old laces , and with the P.W faces, and mupbuttons – and they are beautifully done. You have come so long, friend!!
I hope there will be a light to keep, for you ,in one of the lighthouses – maybe you could use the key-lol!!

Oh how I adore your tags, and that key-oh my-love! If I lived near that lighthouse you can bet I’d put my name on the list too. Hope it works out for you! XO
I always get a lift when I see you’ve posted something new on your blog. I love old keys, even if this one isn’t really old, it’s so neat! The tags are beautiful..glad to know you’re getting better with using the sewing machine. Good luck on getting a lighthouse…awesome.
So excited to see your new post!
I am always inspired by your work and want to ‘jump right in’! – but
I can’t! (because I’m @ work~lol)
Sure hope to do some creating soon.
I love the idea of keeping a light house for a while!
Beautiful goal and I hope it works out for you Nancy~
Thank you for sharing; your determination is so encouraging: )
