Asian Rounds

I sold these little Chinese wood bowls as a pair.

Cinnamon Sticks

I filled this wooden box with a little bit of everything -- paper whites, rosemary, ornamental grass, pansies, stock -- and a couple of sweet adornments.

Breakfast of Champions

Old copper serving dish

Wooden watering vessel

I tucked rosemary, stock and a pansy inside. Fresh!

A file drawer full of parsley. How about that?

This is one of the 65 centerpieces I put together for Loyola High School's Christmas Dance. Someone else came up with the design, and I tweaked it a bit. I made four more of these for my holiday boutique and sold out. They're really cute.
