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.

You May Kiss the Bride

When I was planning my vintage garden wedding, I was very disappointed in the wedding cake toppers that were available. I wanted something different and vintage, little did I know it would send me on a hunt, searching for just the right pair. It was two days before my wedding and I had just about given up hope. While I was purchasing something in a local antique store, chatting with the owner, she moved to the side of a cabinet behind her and there they were! The bride with blond hair, the groom with brown hair and a match for the tux! It was meant to be, they found me!

I enjoy being able to use them in my photographs for my wedding designs in my Etsy shop. I have had so many people ask if they were for sale and there is just no way I could ever part with them. So, I photographed them and made a wedding cake topper out of them!

Go to my shop to see more photos!

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.
