Oh my goodness!
It must be the shabby princess in me.....influenced forever by my Dad, who grew up during the depression.
He had mended work clothes instead of buying new. He always bought used vehicles. He was frugal and careful with his money all his life.
He taught us to not buy anything we didn't need or have the cash for (that one I only learned later in life, after I was done rebelling this way of living)
For the longest time, he didn't allow store bought baked goods or other junk food in the house.
All of that about him sunk into my heart and mind.
So, if I show pictures of shabby, tattered things, this is where it comes from.
And now that I think of it, even the name of my shop, Tattered Rose, is a combination of my Dad (tattered) and my Mom (rose).
