I am originally from Kansas but Gladstone has been my home for many years. My passions include traveling with my family, gardening, pottery, photography and sewing. I try to see the beauty in old and unused objects and give them new life by using found items in creative ways. My collection includes Christmas ornament wreaths, concrete leaves and stepping stones for the garden, aprons made from vintage tablecloths, and pottery bowls and religious items. Many of my pottery pieces are inspired by nature; I love to create items from leaves. I add texture to my pieces by using linen, burlap and antique lace. Each item is unique and made by hand. I appreciate the opportunity to display my pieces at The Red Thread which has such beautiful handcrafted items from around the world.
