    Talking Items Handmade by Joannie Newsome

    These items were ordered after Christmas & they arrived yesterday We're use to waiting for quality made items such as these. I couldn't get the new owners to model them yet but will post pics when I can. The hats are for my Wife, Daughter & myself. The fingerless mittens are for me as my Queen & Princess wouldn't be able to handle the possiblity of having chilly finger tips Thanks Joannie for making our items, they will be well worn & cherished for quite sometime. You can view Matt & Joannie's site @ www.newhousehighland.com

    Thanks for sharing those with us! Joannie really does fantastic work, that's for sure. I got a pair of those gloves for my dad for Christmas and he loves them... in fact, so do I... I need to see about asking her to make me a pair, after I save a few more pennies.

    You're quite welcome Matt & please thank Joannie for us Also let her know the fit for all of the items was perfect. Ryan I guess I need to order one of your Bonnets so you can get those gloves for yourself Then I'll just have to figure out something to sell myself so I can order one of Matt's kilts You see this is the kinda thing that makes the world go round
