Nonna Chic ~ what does this mean to me? After almost a year of creating my own handbags for my ETSY shop, I am beginning to see how this “grandma style” is threaded everywhere in my life, how I long to be a good mother to my children, a loving wife for my husband, and to live life intentionally in the fashion of love ~ just like my grandmother's did.
Maybe Nonna Chic is really about more than just sewing, but about life. Our grandmother's knew how to live a simple, blessed life; knew how to “up-cycle” before it was trendy terminology, mostly canned their own or local produce for the year, and made the most of everything they were blessed with. These are my yearnings, not to please our culture or neighbors, but to live a life that honors the giver of all good things and the one who restores my soul.

Originally I intended this blog to be primarily about my sewing adventures making quality handbags, but this slipped off of my radar with parenting, cooking, preschool, marriage, faith, and wild family life. So, I still intend to blog about my ambitions to be a creator of arm candy and creating my own designs, etc, but I also need a place to leave a fingerprint of my life through these crazy, challenging and precious years raising a family. Blogging once a week is my elementary goal to begin... again, and hopefully will find this to be a therapeutic way to journal my strengths and weaknesses, my challenges and successes.

I hope that you can find encouragement here, knowing that struggles occur for everyone, everywhere. I am excited about posting new finds, ideas, and techniques for what works for us (at the moment) in our daily lives of raising children, cultivating marriage, running a home, creating art, and reaching for Christ.
