This little shop is a place where I go to satisfy the creative right side of my brain. I have always been compelled to "create". I think it all started with my wonderful Grandmother, Maria, who taught a bored 5 year old to hand sew a little pincushion. I can still remember the tiny pink and blue flower print and the immense feeling of pleasure of being able to tangibly "make something" .

I also have collected "old things" over the years; never knowing why. I just liked them and was always intrigued by beautiful workmanship and color. I have piles of vintage and antique buttons, bits and pieces of vintage jewelry, paper ephemera and books ... anything that has caught my eye. I also love collecting anything that mother nature has produced and thrown on the ground for mortals to take.

Pottery has been a wonderful place to turn to when we need a spiritual connection. Hands on clay can soothe a restless soul.

Two of my daughters are equally happy to create and when they have the time in their busy lives they like to come here and contribute.

Etsy has been a place to explore a need to create and to share with others.
