Little Paint Can





This little guy is new, in my shop here
For only $12, he can be anything you want him to be: a pencil holder, a vase for wildflowers, a candy jar....
Oh, and if the lid is not needed at the time, you can use it as a coaster!

Map Trays As Gifts

For some reason, maps seem to resonate with people. I make quite a few map trays for birthdays, anniversaries and as wedding gifts. Visual reminders of places we've been, maps also offer us the opportunity to dream of where we would like to go.






Before I moved to Florida, I would pore over maps of the east coast, dreaming of which coastal town I would like to live in. The decision was made for me when I got a job offer in Clearwater, FL. Of course, I consulted the map I had to see how close to the coast I would be and what little towns were nearby.
