Monday Merchant with Yorkie Primitivies

Welcome to the Monday after the super bowl.  Are you into watching the game or the great commercials?  I like the commercials myself, although some make you wonder what they are selling.  Today I have a great shop from the PAFA Team for you to check out.  Val is the lady behind this cute shop on Etsy.  Named after her grandmother and the one who helped Val make her first apron for 4H.  Val has her shop filled with stitchery, hand painted wood, and dolls you will find something for each season.  Val also does custom work and will do combined shipping.  Send her a email or convo for what you are look for.  I love the Easter Basket with the eggs stitchery, what will you fall in love with?
