Hands of Time * Dragonfly Mug
Have a little soul food with your tea or coffee and thrive true. ♡ Art Print from original mixed-media painting combined with a unique and useful cup. These make great gifts for birthdays, friendship, thank you, get well, sympathy, mother’s day, hostesses, teachers, secretaries, nurses, graduation, welcome baskets & more… a unique gift of art & warm wishes. This particular one makes a nice gift when offering condolences... when words won't do, I hope that these will warm the heart with memories of love. Dragonflies are also a symbol of birth and transformation so are appropriate for many occasions! This was inspired by the dragonfly story I read at my mom's memorial (shared in long description below). The text in this painting reads "the treasure inside echoes through the hands of time" and feels like a lovely tribute in memory of our loved ones. The original painting was a collaboration with my Grammie, who is in her 90's!

Introducing the Dragonfly Garden Handmade Journal, a beautiful blend of nature-inspired art and functional design. 🌿🦋 This journal features a sweet painting on paper that has been carefully sewn onto the fabric cover.

“Love Song” Handmade Journal
"A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song." - Joan Walsh Anglund (also attributed to Maya Angelou) [columns] [span6] [/span6][span6] [/span6][/columns] This unique journal is ready for your song. :) The handmade journal has several decorative paper pages (both scrapbooking papers and recycled papers are used) inside a sewn fabric journal cover. The journal also has a small pocket sewn into the front cover when it is being made. These are great for gratitude journals, quote collections, mini scrapbooks with pictures, guest books, poetry, funny things kids say, travel notes, bridal or baby shower notes, hopes, dreams, prayers, love letters to life and ourselves... so many lovely possibilities.

I have another one I use for love letters to life and myself. :) The journal cover measures approximately 5 x 6 inches. The cover has the word love sewn above the heart on a painted card. It also has a fabric style bookmark with beads and 188 pages. The paper pages are slightly smaller than the covers and vary in size. I like the texture of ripped edges so the pages inside may have some purposely torn edges. Some pages have been painted or stamped as well. The first page with my handwriting giving suggestions for ways to use this keepsake journal is unattached and removable. Please inquire for an international shipping estimate. I will gladly do so!
