I LOVE all the great feedback GPS subscribers are sending about the March box. It is from Lancaster, Pennsylvania — home of the Amish. The local artists I found when visiting the area are unbelievably talented! I went gaga over Keisha Finnie's "brown skin girl" hand-painted terra cotta pots. They were a must-have for the GPS box. I commissioned Keisha for the largest wholesale order she's done. Warms my heart to give her this platform to display her art.

Happy Fasnacht Day! I grew up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania — the Amish country. Here, on the day before Lent, we celebrate by eating a donut puff of pillowy goodness named fasnacht. They're made with potato flour and fried in oil. Here's a little background on the Pennsylvania Dutch tradition...

In most places, the day before Ash Wednesday, which begins the Christian season of Lent, might be referred to as Fat Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday, Carnival Day or just plain Tuesday.

The very first GPS subscription box included a vintage flower frog. Some subscribers were familiar with them, while others had never seen the mid-century find.
Flower frogs date back to 1910 - 1960 and are used to help florists create arrangements in wide mouth or shallow vases. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Through the years, people have found different uses for them. Here is a good video of fun ways to showcase a vintage flower frog.

Flower frogs make a great addition to vintage home decor. You can find them at thrift stores, flea markets, and antique shops. In this video, I share how I d...

The December GPS subscription box included two, beautiful Otomi embroidered napkins from Mexico. What is Otomi embroidery? It's a stitching style known as "tenangos," using vibrant colors, and unique floral and animal designs. Pieces can range from clothing, tablecloths, pillows, even furniture and tapestries.
The designs are hand embroidered on Ivory muslin by Otomi artisans. These textiles represent a great Mexican tradition passed from generation to generation. Here is a link showing the steps to making a "tenango." Enjoy!

HAPPY 2022! 🥳🎉
I've been having a blast hosting two Korean exchange students the month of January. They are taking a class at UCSD. I'll be sad to see them go home on Saturday.
I hope those of you who received the December Holiday GPS subscription box are enjoying all the goodies from Mexico. I have 11 extra of the beautiful napkins included in your box. If you'd like to purchase a few to make a set of 4 or 6, let me know. They are $17 each.
