The handmade ornaments you see here are proof that you never know where life will take you. It started several years ago with a casual invitation to attend a beginners’ pottery class with a friend. I knew nothing about pottery, but I loved spending time with my friend and quickly found a passion for creating new and beautiful things with my hands.

 

I began focusing primarily on small, handmade pieces and found like-minded people who enjoyed my work at local farmer’s markets and fairs. The themes, colors, and patterns captured in my pieces are all representations of things that I love and it makes me happy to create items which hold special meaning and memories for others.

 

When I decided to turn my passion into a business, I knew I would have to come up with a name. My most cherished memories involve my grandparents who always loved, mentored, and supported me throughout my life. I can still hear them singing Doris Day's  “Bushel and a Peck. "The song has always filled me with nostalgia and happiness, and I hope to share that with you through my work.

​

Thank you so much for visiting my site. I look forward to creating your special keepsake.
