Hello friends....
I've been enjoying the redwoods surrounding my studio this summer...busy as a bee, the doors and windows wide open, creating pretty lacy books and journals to fill my Etsy shop.
Please feel free to 'pin' any of these onto Pinterest!
This is a sweet covered journal, perfect for your gratitude thoughts. Found here on Etsy.
Another reusable covered journal.... fits the standard composition book. Found here.
Just a sample layout... sweet pocket on the left.
Just one sample layout... there are MANY tags and pockets in this lacy book! See the Etsy post for more pictures.
So, these are just a few of the lacy creations this month. Thanks for looking.
Sweet blessings to you!
xoxo Chris

Gypsy Soul,
I was blessed with a vision of how this book was to be, about the message of love and acceptance, and the wild abandon our ancestors, out 'Gypsy' grandmothers may have lived their lives! A message we can all appreciate today!
On each page, you'll find a vintage image of a Gypsy friend, gazing at us through the window of time. Each image has been printed on quality linen paper, then glazed with a layer of natural bees was, known as an 'encaustic' application. Each layout also supports a pocket in which you'll find an adorned, interactive tag, quoting the wisdom best remembered from a Gypsy Life.
ELEVEN decorated pages, many pockets and tags.
May you be blessed with the 'Gypsy Spirit'!!!
Book measures a supple 8x10, and is 4" thick! Lots of jewels, laces, trims, all in rich, rich color! Some laces and/or trims were specially dyed.

Girls sewing book
I learned to sew as a young girl in the fifties, at my mother's feet of course. She'd provide the scraps as I hand stitched dresses for my dollies.
Hopefully, you'll remember those times when looking through this sweet little lace book. Created with vintage laces and trims. The last page is a pocket page created from two antique little girl dresses.
