Bending, shaping and showcasing stones with wire to create one-of-a kind pieces adds to the happiness of my life.
Patty says, “Decorating at our home has always involved using antiques and vintage items. Family influence could be a factor in my choices for my parents and grandparents also appreciated and used vintage things. Now that I have retired from teaching I have time to try a new venture of selling some of the things I have found in my treasure hunts.”
