Here's a twist ... a long overdue post to start the week on a fresh note! Miles of inspiration from Beckman's Handcrafted Gift Show at Merchandise Mart in Chicago (miles of walking too - kudos to the gal who decided to pack her chic, comfy walkin' boots!). Final result: February is 'facelift month' for the shop (no comment on a 'lift' for the shop's owner!). Add a lovely mix of new wildflower and orchid cards from Notable Greetings, tiny lace bowls and delightful fairy houses from Black Cat Pottery, and a special delivery of red clay tiles from David Ellison, custom teabag favors from Diane Bowman, and you've got yourself a perfect gift-stop on the way home!
