This Spring bake up some old favourites and be brave with some new recipes. You will fill your freezer with home made goodness to be enjoyed all summer long.

When I create things for my family, whether I bake or sew, it is all about creating something from the heart, just like our grandmas used to do. Do-it-yourself crafts are about putting a piece of yourself into what you’re making and sharing that warmth with the people around you.

I am drawn to pretty things, flowers are pretty therefore I am drawn to many floral patterns. Vintage floral patterns are definitely something grandma would have had. Floral patterns, no matter where they are, whether on wallpaper, upholstery, draperies, a pillow, linens all give a feminine touch adding a softness that is classic to grandmacore. Can one have too many flowers? Decorating with florals is a way to bring the outdoors inside and add a cheerful tone to your day.

Spring arrived Tuesday March 19th and with that for me, an urge to deep clean, I mean really, really deep clean. Sending some items to the good will store, opening the windows to let in the fresh spring air, scrubbing everything everywhere, changing linens, curtains, decorations….

GrandmaCore isn’t just a trend, but a response to our busy modern lifestyle and its many social media and self-imposed stresses. GrandmaCore acknowledges simpler times, respect for the comforting presence of our grandparents, and a celebration of activities that refuel our souls.
