Sow’s ears, silk purses.
Dawn and Rene haul out old furniture, textiles, and oddities from estate sales and forgotten corners of Northeast Ohio. They fix them by hand. Then they set it all out in their booth at Shops by the Lake in Painesville and hope you take it home.

Goes straight to Dawn
The short version
Two sisters, one booth.
Dawn comes from the sanding-and-stripping side. Rene comes from the sewing-and-stitching side. They started hauling things out of estate sales for fun and ran out of room in both their garages.
That was a few years and several hundred sow’s ears ago.
