Second Time's a Charm

Helloooooo world! My name is Ashley, owner and operator of Second Time's a Charm, a quaint little secondhand, gently used clothing and accessories store in the beautiful hamlet of Creemore, Ontario.

A little bit about me? I'm a mom to 4 wonderful children, a finacee to an amazing man and I LOVE TO SEW! (Oh yea, and knit!) As a little girl to an amazing seamstress, I use to pick out my own patterns and fabrics, to create cute and beautiful outfits for myself. My mother of course guided me, as she still does on many occasions, but as I bonded with my mother over the sewing machine, I also learned an amazing dying art, the craft of sewing.

As my mother handed down her beloved Singer sewing machine to me, my heart filled with joy and my eyes with tears, I learned to sew on this machine, now, it was mine to call my own.

Recently, my oldest daughter Rachel has taken an interest in helping mommy, the same way I did when I was her age. It would be an understatement to call me thrilled! We have picked out fabrics that she likes and patterns she adores, the other day, we made her a purse and she hasn't put it down since :) I can't wait until she gets to start sewing on her Barbie sewing machine, complete with a little pink pedal! :D (Thanks so much again Sherri!) Mommy just needs to find time!

Well, look around, comment on my photos, and tell me what you think! Heck, go for a drive and stop on into the store, I love meeting new people and a new face is always a welcome face!

I can't promise that I'll update often, but I'll be back as soon as I remember or get time, which ever comes first! :D
