Dog Friendly Gardens
My own garden is not only dog friendly but has elements incorporated especially to enhance her quality of life.
Inspiration From Vintage Finds
Vintage finds can reinforce a design concept as well as define one. A favorite pastime is searching out vintage architectural salvage items and imagining how they might be used. Acting on the spot adds to the excitement and serendipity of including them in a design. (I still regret not purchasing these beauties.)

Embroidery Circle
My garden is a source of seemingly endless inspiration for all kinds of projects. I created these little rustic plant-based designs while traveling and later made them into hanging sachets. It was a super compact project as only small scraps of fabric and some embroidery floss needed to be packed.
Personalized Garden Toolbox
This is my super handy everyday toolbox. It’s modeled after my grandfather’s and I inscribed my logo with a wood burning tool. Its sturdy, simple and practical.
Wrought Iron Paint Removal Tools
Experimenting with a multitude of tools for removing the brittle cracking and flaking paint
Earthwise Salvage Wrought Iron Gate
I saw these two wrought iron fence panels at Earthwise Architectural Salvage and couldn’t resist them. They may be Belgian from the late 1800’s but I’ve been looking for examples of similar ironwork and haven’t yet found anything definitive. I’ve been imagining where they may have “lived” and what events may have taken place near them over time during the many hours I’ve spent removing the layers of paint and rust.

Crissey Flowers and Gifts had a shop downtown that was remodeled by drsigner/architect Roland Terry in the late 1950’s.

I’ve begun working on removing multiple layers o I’ve begun working on removing multiple layers of paint from these antique fence panels. I’ve gotten lost in imagining what may have taken place over the years next to this fence. I imagine romance and horrifying violence and the sweetly mundane everyday. I recall a scene in the 1960 film ’The Time Machine’ where The Time Traveler sees across the street from his machine a window display of women’s fashions changing over a hundred years in a matter of seconds. I feel powerful as I sculpt and create topography through the multi-earthcolored  layers and I somewhat dread the completion of this “tedious“ process.
