 Supplies “Collage” a Wall Hanging or Pillow They say that collecting things is a Yankee trait. I grew up in New Hampshire and collected what most kids in the country do: pretty rocks, feathers and sea glass from occasional summer visits to the ocean. Later in my teen years, I moved on to beads for jewelry-making, more feathers and macramé jute. |

 Uncle Frank's Gingerbread Frank Isganitis of Rockland’s LimeRock Inn spends months planning his original gingerbread house designs. Each year young nieces and nephews arrive at his family party in eager anticipation of the personal gingerbread house each will build. Workstations are set up with candy and tubes of frosting, and the family goes to work. In Frank’s eyes, it takes a family to create a holiday village. |
