Hi, Vintage Lovers, welcome to our Little Shop of Treasures Blog. Come with me. I want to share to a few cool items in our shop. This week we are featuring macrame pattern books.  My goodness, I think the first time I made a macrame project, it was a large plant hanger in white macrame cord. Holy cow, that was twenty-seven years ago.  And I am sure most of us connect macrame with plant hangers.
