"Attitude is one little thing that makes a BIG difference."

                                    -Winston Churchill


Beautiful things

Gratitude. Inspiration. Positivity.

Couldn't we all use more of these things in our lives?

I love positivity and want to spread those good vibes! My crafts are created with the goal of putting a smile on your face, whether it's an inspiring quote or uplifting verse that encourages you, or a funny saying or image that brightens your day.

I'm big on inclusivity, so I design items to celebrate Pride and support the LGBTQ+ community. My Etsy shop is a mix of hand-painted crafts and print-on-demand graphic pieces. I love to do both and am exploring new outlets for my passions.

So where do Miniature Pinschers fit in? Our girl Shelby brought us so much joy and laughter that I thought she could do the same for you. Music themes, elephants, tap dance...same theory. All things I wanted to share because they bring me joy. Surely I'm not the only one.

I create each item with love and the hope that it brings you as much joy when placed in your home as it brought to me while making it.

A Little About Me

I'm a TV editor and photographer based in beautiful Minneapolis, MN. Winters are long here, and creating beautiful things helps me tolerate those cold, gray days.

I love to paint wood crafts and have a deep affection for (addiction to?) containers and boxes. I also find comfort and inspiration in quotes, verses and spunky sayings, so I brought those things together to create items I hope will comfort and inspire others. 

Through the lens

My earliest photography memory was a shot of my empty marble bag lying on the sidewalk, engulfed in my shadow that loomed from above. Thankfully I've gotten a little better at snapping photos, and I use them in my crafts when possible. I also sell my images via Smugmug, which can be found here. More to come very soon!

100% Handmade

All items & designs are handmade or created by me in my cozy-but-messy basement workspace under the direct supervision of Sir Oliver Vincent, who ensures I stay on track but remember to take little breaks for lap time.
