In Memory Of My Nanny

A loving heart, a beautiful spirit, these are the things that last forever.
It comforts me to know that even now, my Nanny is with us in heart and spirit.
In Memory of my Nanny who crossed to the other side April 15, 2009.
Her light still shines.
June 17 1924 ~ April 15 2009
With love from our hearts,

An Angel So Pretty

I have hung on to this photo for a while and I always wanted to make her into a angel, her hands look like she is praying and the photo is just so sweet. So I got to work on her once I found the right fabric for the skirting material and it went together just perfectly. I sent one to my Mother and I have one hanging from my cupboard, when the light hits her wings they sparkle and shine so pretty, I just love it to bits. Her wings are made from old script papers and are covered in silver glitter for a magic touch. This Angel's skirt is made from tea dyed vintage linen and is tied at the waist with fig colored seam binding, the edges are all finished. I added a twine ribbon to the top of the angel for hanging, she looks wonderful just about anywhere, she can even sit nicely on a table.
I have her available for purchase in my shop if you would like one. Have an Angelic Weekend!

Pretty Buttons

Just adding a few more new items to my etsy shop. This is a sweet silver ball chain necklace that is 30 inches in length. I have added 4 Mother of Pearl and Ivory buttons which I have made into charms with solder, makes for a lovely keepsake charm necklace in which you can add to. I make custom order charms if you are interested, you can send buttons of your choice from a loved ones shirt or baby's dress, they make a lovely keepsake, please contact me if you are interested.
The weather sounds lovely for the weekend so hope to get outside and enjoy the fresh air.

Mother's Day Charms

Charm Backs

I have added a collection of one of a kind Mother's Day Charms to my blog shop stop by to view my newest little creations under glass. My favorite one is the "Cute As A Button" charm, and the kitten in the batter bowl, well and I guess all of them. Another wonderful way to display these charms is to hang one on the tip of your chandelier or even a lampshade the light just gives them a special sparkle.

Easter Blessings

Has been a while since my last post. I have been doing some re-arranging in my workroom to clear away some clutter and lighten up my space. I hope everyone has a lovely Easter with lots of chocolate bunnies to eat. We are having a quiet weekend just doing some spring cleaning in the yard and checking to see what plants have survived the long winter. My little seedlings I planted a week ago are now sprouting in the sunny window, some rosemary, sweetpeas, delphinium, and beans so far.





I did get some time to design a few things for the shop, here is my little pin cushion made from linen and lace, I added one of my sweet charms to the front and a few pearl buttons. I have listed this pincushion in my shop today.
