Created and curated gifts that inspire, encourage and delight.
This little shop started as an overflow of the heart. I have always loved finding the perfect gifts for friends and family, and when i couldn't find what I was looking for I would make them... on any medium: paper, canvas, fabric. But when my husband gifted me a huge, scary saw for my birthday, my love of painting on wood began.
Each sign is cut, sanded, stained and painted all by hand, all by me. Each piece I design and create is made with one goal in mind: that when it graces your wall or mantle, it will serve as a gentle reminder to you of who you are and reflect to others what your family is all about.
Time and the Bell is a line from T.S. Eliot's poem "Four Quartets." It is about the struggle to stay present, to remember that we can't control our past or predict our future but instead we should embrace the here and the now. There is indeed no time like the present.
If I could choose a favorite item in my shop, it would be my hand-painted urn for ashes. A few years ago, my son's teacher lost a baby late in her pregnancy and needed an urn for his ashes. It was such a gift to be able to step up and paint her a beautiful wood box for his ashes, something they could keep near and display forever. The box turned out absolutely beautiful and I went to bed that night telling my husband, "This is what I am called to do." If you know anyone who has a need for one of my wood urns, please reach out to me. I have a coupon code that takes off most of the cost of the urn. This is my ministry, this is my passion.
