I’m pleased to announce my products will be available for purchase from a new online store that is opening – Village Handcrafts http://www.villagehandcrafts.ca

I have listed a few items on Village Handcrafts for now and will be adding more in the coming weeks.

Thank you to those who have inquired about where to purchase my items, as you pushed me into taking this step.

I’m always excited when I see a Top 10 List that includes Quilling, but even more excited when Quilling makes it into the Top 2!!

This latest list of 10 Fascinating Artisan Crafts focuses on “the more intriguing and lesser-known crafts” — some of which I had never heard of before.
