My etsy shop was inspired by requests for copies of the creations that I have made for family and friends. I always have several swimsuits “in process” (i.e. half-finished!), so check back often or convo me for more options.

Anything New?

There are several new things happening. We have new members every week (watch for introductions), lots of new listings, and this week there are some members that have joined a blog giveaway.

Be sure to visit Life Nurturing Education this week and enter the giveaways. This is a home school mom that is celebrating one year of blogging.

Front Cover

A custom-designed garden journal, created by SHE team member, Paula Bauer of Gem State Quilling, is featured on the cover of the July/August issue of The Tea House Times, a popular tea publication.


"Paula Bauer of Gem State Quilling is a very talented artist. Her quilling/paper filigree designs are an exquisite display of this lost art which requires a good eye for detail, a lot of time and patience." Gail Gastelu, aka Lady Gayle, Publisher/Editor in Chief, The Tea House Times.

In addition to brief background info on the art, instructions for an elegant gift tag designed by Paula using simple swirls are featured in the 'projects' section of this same issue.

A detailed account of the historic art of paper filigree is located at her website, along with a gallery of her past work, items to order, and original patterns currently available. Victorian-era laces and wallpapers are featured on a number of distinctive cards and gift items for those who love things with cottage styling and/or Victorian flair, and she will soon be introducing a new
line especially for tea lovers.

In addition, her blog offers a glimpse of her current projects seasoned with personal musings
in a warm, chatty style...to help get better acquainted.


Paula is very grateful to the publisher, Gail Gastelu, for the exciting opportunity to showcase the exquisite art of paper filigree!

Introducing Fancy Farm boutique

I don't know how many people look at the profiles on Etsy. If you have not noticed them or clicked on them you really should. That is a good way to find out more about the people that sell on Etsy. Take for example out very own Courtney. Here is part of her profile (and of course some pictures from her shop) as an introduction to you.
