I love to make beautiful things.
My Etsy store is an extension of my brick and mortar studio, The Creative Canvas. It started out as a way to sell some of the artwork and creations I made in my studio. However, it evolved into something much more personal and rewarding.
In 2006, I lost a baby. I was devastated and searching for something to have as a tribute to my child. Back then it was difficult to find anything to memorialize a miscarriage loss. I searched the internet for ages and finally found a little pink & blue pin that brought me so much comfort every time I wore it- it made me feel that she wasn't forgotten. After that when one of my friends would suffer a loss I wanted to give them something that would bring the same comfort as I found in that pin. Using part of a poem I wrote in dedication to our child, the memorial ornaments were born.
I hope that each ornament I make brings some comfort and peace to the person who receives it. It fills my heart that so many people have bought my ornaments and have messaged me with how they have helped them get through a difficult time.
Thank you so much for visiting my shop- if you have any questions or need something you don't see here, please just let me know :) I am happy to help!
