Someone asked me, "I know your sell out of a few boutiques, but what exactly do you sell?"
I like to say it's vintage-inspired handmade.
For about 2 weeks out of a month in the winter my unheated studio garage gets a little bit too chilly to work in, so I move everything into our kitchen dining area.
There are days when my kids get the privilege of picnicking on the coffee table.
Here's a little peek of some of my latest things...
Rosette jewelry with vintage pieces.
A cow tag necklace, cute.. a bit gross when you think about it.. but charming..
Every cake plate cover needs a cozy...
Hand painted canvas table runners...
inspired by vintage botanical birds, eggs and nests prints...
And a little cake plate stand/ cheese dome turned
Inspired terrarium...
Use what talents you possess: The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.

PS Hope the sale goes well.
Your things are lovely! I've never seen a cow tag necklace. I guess that's a more humane label than branding?

ReplyDeleteI wanted more room and a bedroom on the main level. We took the two car garage and madenit into a master bedroom with a laundry room/closert and 1/4 bathroom. We even have afireplace (electric). I am so happy we did this . We had a hall closet that we ran the duct work up through. Kathy
