    I totally agree with you about vintage books, I love mine. They get straight to the point too. Just the instructions and some black & white photos or line drawings of what to do.

    The M. Story purse is awesome, maybe your Mom thought it was too delicate to use with the beads and all.

    Random info:

    'Castagna' sounds like 'Kastanje' to me, which means 'chestnut' in Danish :)

    Thank you for doing the show!
