I’ve suddenly become obsessed with learning to embroider. I scored this vintage, beginner-level Erica Wilson embroidery kit out of my mom’s closet last week. Adorable!
Trivia: Chessie the Railroad Kitten was the mascot of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway System in the 1930s. My dad was dumbstruck when I told him I didn’t know that.
