How many old t shirts do you have saved in your closets, attic or basement? And what do you think you’ll do with them? It was those exact questions that led Jen Anderson and her mother to starting a business where they could help people preserve the meaning in their loved ones old clothes. Today, Jen Anderson of Once Upon a Time Creation is talking with me about why she loves what she does and how we can all use clothing to bring meaning to our daily lives.

Last March when the Covid 19 pandemic arrived, Susan decided to temporarily stop making skirts and to start making face masks using the fabrics and materials she had lying around the house and she has been busy ever since. I’m Emily Brunner, your host of Main Line Makers, and I’m so excited to share my conversation with Susan Ramee here with you today! (recorded in May 2020)

I recently enjoyed reading the book, "Up, Not Down Syndrome", a love letter and a map written by Nancy Schwartz about her journey in parenting her youngest son, Alex. Nancy learned at Alex’s birth that he had Down Syndrome and from that moment on, she’s been learning that love is greater than fear and that every single person has gifts. Today Nancy, Main Line mom, teacher and author, is joining me to talk about her book “Up, Not Down Syndrome” and just a few of the beautiful lessons that she has learned through her journey as Alex’s mother.

Anyone who is a parent has spent countless cozy hours telling and reading stories to their children. Javier Garay took his kids’ bedtime stories a step further by turning tales he created on his own, into a series of 2 illustrated children’s books, with more on the way. Today Javier is joining me to talk about The Blocks book series, what inspired him to create the stories within the books and how he made them a reality.
