I am so very honored and excited to announce that I’ve Been Featured At HGTV! I was contacted over two months ago and had to keep it under my hat until the post went live. The article, “19 Easy Ways to Show Off Your Souvenirs at Home” is chock full of creative ideas. HGTV featured the pillows I created from vintage British tea towels.

The class is “Interdisciplinary Research Process and ... View the Post

 Oh, how I adore Putz houses! There are so many ways to display them. Under cloches. Nestled on a sideboard. Placed on a mantel. Or stacked on tiered tables.
