For Mother's Day

Need a new gift idea for Mother's Day?

These are perfect, especially if her kids/grandkids live in different cities.

Order as many as you need....1, 3, 12, whatever. I can package them individually, or up to 12 in a pack.

On Etsy, they are listed as a set of 4 ($15), so if you need a different quantity, contact me and we can get you what you need.

I have a tremendous selection of Vintage maps, so I'm certain to have exactly what you need.

Just remember, these are custom made, so you need to order by May 1 to receive them in time for her big day!

Enjoy!

(don't have an Etsy account? No problem. I also sell them on my personal website)

Earth Day! Hooray!



I try to be as Earth friendly as possible when I create my magnets, paperweights and hooks. Sure, new things are cool, but recycled, and Vintage things are even cooler.


The colors and graphics of Vintage papers just can't be compared to their newer counterparts. It's a bit of a win-win! Not only do I recycle and upcycle items, but I love the look!


Also, I've discovered some great, local sources for my Vintage sheet music,maps, and books (which means I leave less of a carbon footprint, as they don't have to be shipped to me). Another win-win!

The studio has been a great source for supplies, as well.....I use scrap cardboard that is destined for the landfill for my magnet packaging, and scraps of felt to line the bottom of my paperweights.

(thankfully, I stocked up on those items before the flood!)


In the big picture of being Eco-friendly, I realize this is a small, small thing. But, I believe that anything (big or small) that each of us can do to minimize our impact to our Earth is invaluable.


Happy Earth Day!
