How it all started...

I would go around to all these cute little boutiques and gift shops and I would see all these little crafty items that I would want to buy, but I never wanted to pay what they were asking for them. So I thought to myself, I could easily make those things....so I did! My parents also moved into a new house a couple of years ago, and I have made quite a few things for them to put around the house, and it has been so fun!

The first item that I wanted to post was the first thing I made for my parents to put in their new house. The picture shown on the left is the item that is in my parent's kitchen. This item is on three separate canvas boards, and the colors are brown, tan and white. Each canvas board is 9" x 12", but could be done in any shape or size, and could be used to say whatever you choose!


This item is also the first thing that I actually made and sold for someone! It was someone in the neighborhood that had come by and she saw it in my parent's kitchen and asked me if I would make one for her daughter-in-law. The one I made for this lady is a little different than the one I made for my parents....I did hers in black and white, and also put it on wood and sanded the edges down because she wanted to go for the more shabby-chic look!


The price for this item is roughly 50 dollars, depending on materials and paint. If you are interested in purchasing this item or would like additional information, please email me at hrichards14@gmail.com
