Peggy's Retro-Fabulous List
Peggy's Retro-Fabulous ListMeet Peggy: My first job I ever had was at a bookstore, many years ago and then I came into the library world and I loved it. I started at PPL over 15 years ago and stayed for 10 years.  Then I continued my library career at the Arizona State Law, Archives and Public Records, which was a big change from the city library. Now I'm back and enjoying the experience all over. 

 

I'm a total retro woman! I enjoy the Rockabilly scene, painting and crafting the Chicana way of my family heritage.  I have been obsessively tracing my family heritage and my family has deep Arizona roots that I love and respect.

 

Meet her list: My Retro-Fabulous collection is the latest of books that I have used in my art work, inspired me or enjoyed listening to while crafting or painting.  I think the 50's & 60's era is truly the best eras that fit my unique style.  The Crafty Chica is always inspiring and takes glitter to the next level-I thank her for creative inspiration she gives me! Happy painting & crafting!
