To Get and Give

Everyone knows that handmade gifts are the most precious things you can receive.  So in return for this amazing handmade shawl, I've created a handmade shawl pin.  My mother made me this beautiful piece  - one of my favorite winter items to wear around while working with my clay.  It's shocking how warm you feel when your shoulders don't' feel the breeze.

 I did the shawl pin with a pop of Spring color.  It's that lovely vibrant green you see when everything is new or being renewed for the year.  I love the way it plays off the subtle color of this shall.

Such beautiful work on this shawl

  And it's so warm, yet not heavy....I love it so much!

Cottage Appliques

Honestly, I can't stay away from them too long, they are my obsession after-all:)

This picture shows how the appliques transform from your usual white to glazed pink-centered roses that think are so unique and perfect to decorate with.

This is a set of four One-of-kind, yet coordinated, furniture appliques to enhance your cottage look.

I love the way these look.  Although a reserved gift, I look forward to the opportunity to create complimentary pieces for all my fellow "Cottage Look" lovers.  I call them "one of a kind" because there are no molds used to create these.  I form each leaf and rose individually. But really that's how your rose garden is formed anyway.  Those subtle differences show the amazing detail in each piece.
