Pretty Crafty

Years ago, long before it was cool to be green, a young woman back East began creating one-of-a-kind creatures of her own design using recycled woolen sweaters. Crispina Ffrench got through college on the proceeds of those huggable Ragamuffins. Now they are being hand-sewn in her studio in Housatonic, Mass. Crispina calls them Dinosaur, Potbelly and Stand Up. I call them FABULOUS!

We are tickled pink to carry them at Timeless Treasures. A new selection arrived this week and already we've had several eager passers-by checking them out in our shop window. Since our first group sold out in a jiffy, we suggest you pop in soon for first dibs. (We've ordered another dozen, for delivery in December.)
