This is my Aunt June's workbench in her house in Guilford. She was such an amazing craftsman and artist. She wove baskets, made braided rugs, caned chairs, and did needlepoint for chairs and footstools. She tended to her perennial gardens, and then harvested and dried the flowers between pages of books. She made dried flower arrangements, and she also made the most beautiful works of art with her pressed flowers, constructing cards, and framed works. She was so talented and artistic, that she was an inspiration for everyone. And of course she did this while being a wife and mom to two children. My Aunt June passed away earlier this week at age 87, and today there was a gathering of close family, to celebrate her life.
Lovely post for a woman whose was so talented and an inspiration to so many.

She was so creative with her pressed flowers, her needlepoint was beautiful and she was a great cook - her homemade rolls were the best! She remembered all the family history and told good stories. An amazing women who seemed to be able to do it all...bsk
