Traditional Nordic Sweater Patterns
With my Norwegian roots, traditional Nordic sweaters hold a special place in my heart. They inspired the coziest and most intricate designs in our collection, each pattern weaving a tale of warmth and love. (Photo credit: Life in Norway)

1955 Chrysler New Yorker
A personal touch from the past—the 1955 Chrysler New Yorker, my great grandfather's pride and joy. Along with my dad's Studebaker pickup and my husband's 1955 Chevy, these classic cars ignited a timeless appeal in the final designs. (Photo credit: Thompson Chrysler on Pinterest)
