Isn't this voile  printed dress from the 20's just beautiful...it wasn't so when she found it. She brought it home and laundered and pressed it into sheer perfection

Here are some more of her perfect creations....German cookies. She made these in special molds
which she said is also relaxing and fun to make...

Pretty Valentines heart...

Beautiful Rose and too pretty to eat don't you think?

I think this itty bitty gloved hand is my favorite...

More of her creations on silk...

These she is making for pillow tops...I think this too is my favorite

My mother is truly an artist...If you ask her she will say she's a china painter. I don't think there is any media that she hasn't tried and mastered...This last week she helped me make our shop sign after the
sign guy flaked on us...What do you think?
