I started a small dried flower business 25 years ago to supplement my income as a teacher and a single mom selling at Farmer's Markets and craft fairs. Due to circumstances, I quit and 6 years later began again. I became inspired by felted wool products. The next 2 years were spent researching, learning, and building up an inventory. My products became more unique as I added needle felted designs, embellishments of antique shoe buckles, scarf ties, pins, buttons, etc. I love the hunt of finding that perfect piece! Also, many of the added pieces come from my great grandmother's collection of odds and ends.

Since I do not use a pattern and work randomly, every item is original and no two are ever the same. My minor in art proved to be helpful but not as helpful as the creative influences of my grandmothers, Ollie and Cora.

Even though I used only wool in the beginning, I now use many types of material such as, textured yarns, cottons, acrylics...as well as wool. I hope you enjoy my hats, headbands, purses and pillows as much as I enjoy creating them.
