At long last! This is the official blog of Midvale Cottage on Etsy. I begin my first post with a film snippet of my very dear mother, as a young woman fresh out of high school, in the late 1930s. Such a beauty! How lucky my grandfather was a camera and film buff, a lover of new technology. Note those fabulous puffy sleeves on her dress. Beautiful 1930s style! :-) (now if they could have just done a better job of centering the camera lens.... ;)
