Something new I am working on!

05/06/2025

I am looking forward to participating in another Franklins community activity. Do you need a unique gift for your mom? Come by and look and I also will have a few items for sale. Shop Local Mom’s too! 😍

One week from today is Mother’s Day!!🌺

Our Mother’s Day Art in the Garden Celebration is Saturday May 10 starting at 10 am. 🌸

We have incredible local artists who will be outside painting in our gazebo and live music on our front porch!!
We will have the perfect vendors set up for gift giving ideas for Mom. We also will have my licensed esthetician daughter, Sofia, here to talk all things skin care. Our Amish grown flower baskets will be in full stock. Plus our in house vendors are working hard this week to bring in new items and refreshing spaces for more great gifts for Mom, like our fashion, candles, jewelry, goat’s milk products, DIY craft project supplies, home décor and antiques. Plus we will be having a sidewalk sale!!

Make plans to bring Mom to Franklin and the Mercantile this Saturday!! 🛍️🛍️🛍️

Happy Holidays to everyone! I wanted to show you some of my recent work. I can have these printed for you. The size and style you would like. If there is something special or color scheme I can also take commissions. In the future you will be able to buy Fabric, Wall paper, and other items! Please share with your friends! If you sew and looking for Original fabrics I will be making them soon!
