How I decided on this name...

Years ago--in the midst of my yard sale and auction-flea market frenzy, I came upon a small handmade stitched "sampler" that proclaimed "A friendly House, by the side of the Road" and it had a small hand stitched house upon it... Thats it! I thought.. One day I will have a shop, and sell my wares and display my art, and showcase all my precious collections of bits and bobs and toys. So this is it, a prelude to a dream. A friendly House..
