The Lisa Gifts
my friend lisa currently owns a bakery, and last year was the recipient of the epi scarf. i don't know how much wear she gets out of it, in south carolina.
a few years ago, she made me a doll that i featured in the trinity doughnuts tarot!
what's great about lisa's gifts is that they never, ever seem to come from a store. they are always handmade, found, or full of history.
this year, a new doll. lisa calls him a "blind justice jingle elf with knock knees + long arms".
and (in addition to a few other non-textile items), this brooch. it's soldered glass covering a teeny, tiny, TINY piece of tatting!
very special forever items!
