what's in a name

Little Red Appleton. I chose that name for my Etsy shop in honor of the great Aunts who taught me to sew.

Appleton is the street that they lived on in the house my great grandfather built. My grandfather, mother and I all grew up in that house. I have extremely fond memories about 152 Appleton Street.

Red is the color of Revlon lipstick that the two of them wore with out fail. Every morning they would apply that bright red color to their lips. Even if they weren't going any where special. You never know who was going to stop by the house!

Little is how I will forever see myself when I think back and remember my dear aunts, Annie and Louise.
