A Special Treasure

I found the sweetest little baby's bonnet the other day. I was sad to see it tossed away and forgotten, worn and tattered with the babe grown and flown from the nest what use was it now. Thinking of the little one who might of worn it, I had to give it a new home.

So I went to work and the Stork Came Calling...


Last night the stork came calling
And there beneath its wing.
Lay sleeping oh so sweetly
The tiniest little thing.
From babyland so far away
Beside a silver sea,
Was brought a special treasure
As a gift to you and me.

I paired this sweet little bonnet with an abandoned children's book to make a wonderful little pocket to hold precious keepsakes and decorate a new baby's nursery.

Nature All Around Us

I love birds, but Owls and Hawks are my favorite, so they always seem to find a way into my creations!

I think my love of Owls goes back to when I was a child and my Father came to the door one very cold winter day with a beautiful Barn Owl, that he found sitting in the snow and he hopped on my Fathers glove.

He sat contently and watched us, not bothered at all as my sister and I gazed in amazement. I was certain he came to us, not just because he was so cold, but he knew we would appreciate his beauty. After a few blinks of his eyes, to my sister and I, he flew back to his home.

I had so much fun with the circles I cut out of the vintage book for my "Nest Inn Book" that I made these cute little round flowers on a stick!

Doilies Made With Love

Christmas Doily Wreath
I have beautiful doilies lovingly crochet and tatted by my
Great Grandmother and it's a shame to keep
them hidden away in a drawer.
This is my homage to her,
I hope she's grinning back at my creations!
