THANKS!***

Greetings and welcome! All my items are handmade and carefully designed in the spirit of Early American folk art.

My hope is that my creations will take you back to a simpler time reminiscent of the 19th century. Each piece is designed, handmade, and aged so that no two pieces are exactly alike.

Please come, browse, and enjoy my creations!
