Yo Yo -- yo yo --- yo yo -- yo yo!
Yo yos can be contemporary, sweet &
old-fashioned, or any thing in between.
They may be large or tiny.
They are fun!
Here they're on a happy pillow, but also
can be used to decorate your summer
hat, turned into a little wall hanging, or
added as decoration to a little girl's
summer frock or even your personal
tote bag.
If you'd like to arrange a class just for
you & your group of 2 to 4 people, give
us a ring at 734.429.2900.
