Last night I got to pondering how to display my wares. I’ve got a little spinning rack, that I had hung my bottles from with tiny clothespins. I like it, but it’s not actually eye-catching, when surrounded by a billion cuter things. I wandered through the house, eyeballing everything, evaluating its potential for displaying my…
I’ve shifted focus, away from my paper carousels, for a few reasons. Honestly, they need a lot more refinement and visual appeal, and in the past year I’ve been diagnosed with Essential Tremor, which makes it a lot harder to deal with tiny little fiddly bits, like weeding the tiny pieces of cardstock out of…

PLUS, if you share this Facebook post, you get an extra $1 off your order. So jump on over to the preorder page and claim your one-of-a-kind paper carousel before…
I’m more than excited to present the brand new Paper Calico! To start, I’m working on the first thing for sale – the Paper Carousel. It will have 18 creatures to choose from, to assemble your own set of six for your very own Carousel. Leave it white for a touch of elegance, or color…
