A vintage look with modern flair. Difficult to achieve? Yes. Worth the painstaking process to put forth a product that is amazingly handmade? Definitely. Donna is a self-taught, experienced metal-smith who turned her passion into a successful jewelry business…but it’s more than that. Donna states “My jewelry is about making connections. I want my jewelry to speak to you and connect with you on an emotional level. I want to help you celebrate family and friendships; memorialize special people who have passed on; remind you of essential affirmations…. I want to make jewelry that has special meaning to you.” This is clearly achieved in her line of hand-stamped sterling silver and copper jewelry. Her affirmational half-cuff bracelets feature many metal-smith techniques, including chasing, hand stamping, riveting, wire wrapping, and chainmaille. Her Heritage Series fine silver pendants are artisan-made from the impressions of antique and vintage wax seals, intaglios, letterpress, and buttons. Be it pendants, earrings, or bracelets, Donna’s extensive jewelry collection imparts motivation and inspiration, fulfilling not just the tangible need to accessorize, but the emotional need to feel beautiful and empowered.

Who doesn’t like to cuddle up with a nice, warm blanket? You know you do! From infants to great-grandparents, a beautiful quilt is not only warm, it is comfortable, beautiful, and sentimental.

Wendy has been sewing for nearly 20 years. She was introduced to rag quilts in 2006, and fell in love! After some experimentation, she realized cotton fabrics fray beautifully, and that became her medium of choice. All of her rag quilts are reversible. One side is finished, and the other side has exposed seams that are snipped and frayed to create a shabby chic look. All quilts are made using designer 100% cotton fabrics. Each square is sewn with a lightweight, natural cotton batting in the middle. Every quilt is washed once to start the ragging process. They can be machine washed in cold water and machine dried. The more they are washed and dried, the raggier and softer they will become.
Large/throw-size quilts measure about 46”x65”. These can be displayed at the end of a bed or over a couch. They are also the perfect size for a picnic. These unique quilts are sure to be a hit when guests are over! Medium/kid-size quilts measure about 38”x46”. These are a mini-throw that a boy or girl will enjoy in his / her room. They can be used nicely as a lap blanket or in the stroller for snuggling on the go! Small/baby-size quilts measure about 33”x38”. These quilts are ideal for our tiny loved ones. They are small enough to fit in a diaper bag or drape it over a crib for display. Babies will love the edges which can promote the development of fine motor skills!

Us mothers may remember bringing our newborns home from the hospital, in step to the tune of Grandma (or Great-Grandma) telling us to always keep the baby’s head covered! Well, I agreed with that philosophy (except in the summer when it was sweltering outside). To that end, knit hats are a must! They offer warmth, comfort, style, and the knowledge that nothing harmful goes into their production…no chemicals or agents that can be absorbed into a fragile newborn’s delicate skin. Elaine’s product offering includes: baby hats, beanies, ruffle hats, stocking caps, and pom-pom hats, for ages birth – 2 years. She chooses bright, vibrant yarns, making her products stand out from the traditional baby blue and baby pink hues. They are all hand-knit from tweed, acrylic, or 80% acrylic / 20% wool blends, and are available in several color / stripe combinations. These are a perfect addition to any baby offering, appealing to shoppers for new baby gifts, baby showers, or baby’s birthday.

What is “natural”? For Cindy, a biochemist with a Ph.D, it means creating ingredients through green chemistry, and using herbs grown on her own farm. Dr. Jones previously worked as a research scientist, a college instructor, a published author, and a research and development consultant to the skin care industry. Her extensive experience in physiology, toxicology, microbiology, cancer research, and cosmetic science gives her ample credibility and knowledge to fuel the science behind her advanced skin care line.
Rich in nutrients and antioxidants, this complete product line delivers real results. It consists of face, body, and bath care products. Each ingredient is chosen to contribute to skin health, and includes natural ingredients rich in phytoestrogens, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and antioxidants. Products are formulated to:
- support cellular regeneration
- reduce redness and irritation
- build the skin barrier function to retain moisture
- reduce fine lines and dull skin tone
- keep skin healthy and glowing with a youthful bliss
Plus…they are made with the purest, freshest, biodegradable ingredients…nothing artificial. And…they are rigorously tested for purity and stability to guarantee safety and quality.
The natural oxidation and inflammation inherent in aging, can be counteracted with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents found in high amounts in herbs.

Combining traditional herbal knowledge with modern scientific discoveries, Cindy ensures her cultivated skin care products help provide the best possible skin care to maintain vibrant, youthful skin.
