Mahjong, Texas, Bluebonnets, Pet Memorial Gifts & More
Welcome to Pen And Lens — a Texas-inspired gift shop filled with bestselling Mahjong accessories, handcrafted bee watering stations, bluebonnet decor, pet memorial gifts, college rivalry gear, and meaningful designs created with heart.
I’m a proud native Texan, award-winning photographer, retired educator, and lifelong creative. After earning my Journalism degree from the University of Texas (Hook ’em Horns!), I spent 32 years teaching journalism, photography, and graphic design before retiring to ranch life in beautiful South-Central Texas with my husband and our two Border Collies.
Today, I channel that same passion for storytelling and design into creating original gifts and decor that celebrate the spirit of Texas, the joy of gathering with friends and family, and the love we have for the pets and memories that mean the most to us.
Many of the designs and photographs featured throughout my shop are inspired by the landscapes, wildlife, and wildflowers of Texas — especially the bluebonnets that blanket our roadsides every spring. Others reflect the things my customers love most: Mahjong nights with friends, thoughtful personalized gifts, handcrafted pieces for the home and garden, and keepsakes that honor beloved pets.
Some of my most-loved creations include:
• Personalized Mahjong mats, accessories, and gifts
• Hand-painted Bee Watering Stations for pollinators 🐝
• Texas and bluebonnet-inspired decor
• Pet memorial suncatchers and remembrance gifts
• College rivalry and Texas-themed apparel and accessories
Pen And Lens has proudly earned hundreds of 5-star reviews, multiple Etsy Bestseller and Popular Now badges, and Star Seller status every month since opening. I’m incredibly grateful for every customer who supports my small business and allows me to continue creating meaningful, original designs.
Whether you're shopping for a unique gift, decorating your home, honoring a cherished pet, or simply bringing a little more Texas charm into your everyday life, I hope you find something here that makes you smile.
Thank you so much for being here — and check back often, because new creations are added every week.
