evie and ilene...

...who are they, you might ask...my grandmothers! evie (evelyn) was a "well-to-do" socialite who lived in a big house on Peachtree Street in Atlanta in the 1920s. she spent her time at dances and running around with her girlfriends in flapper dresses. ilene was a farm girl, the daughter of hard-working irish farmers. she spent her days working on the farm and attending barn dances and the ocassional movie with her brood of brothers as chaperones. they have both been gone from this planet a while now and i still miss them! so i opened another etsy shop and named it after them! yep, i am nuts, and you don't have to wonder, just know it! i cannot sit still and it is fun, so why not! here are a few items from evie and ilene...








thanks for stopping in and hope y'all have a fab week!
