Joanne E. Deardorff  was born in York , Pennsylvania.  The oldest of five she has always been in charge of something.  Now being retired for two years after teaching high school English for 35 years, she found herself with many hobbies and interests and the desire for a local shop to share these things with others. 

Joanne has been knitting and crocheting since she was a child and has attended many knitting camps over the past few years. There she has taken classes and learned other techniques to expand her craft.

More recently she has taken up the art of beading.  Enjoying that on its own and combining it with fibers has been truly fulfilling.  Now Joanne brings these enjoyable pastimes to your home town.  

Thank you for your time and we hope to see you at
