A Place to Call Home

we all need a sanctuary.

Spot On, Alice

If a Tree Falls in the Forest...

a bit obsessed with trees and houses these days...

Little Pink Houses

Oh, but ain't that America

for you and me

Ain't that America

something to see, baby

Ain't that America

home of the free, yeah...

little pink houses

for you and me

ooooh, yeah

for you and me

-John Cougar Mellencamp

Paper Anatomy

3-D collage: apothecary meets bodily innards

Hey Chicks

Cross & Crown

gorgeous vintage religious icons

Charmed

a menagerie of charms

If You Got It, Flaunt It

some days are meant for strutting your stuff

Bird is the Word

New home. New studio. New creations.

Metal Meets Lace

an unlikely love affair

Brighter is Better

because Very Mary is already over winter and it hasn't even arrived.

Gliding Along



some days are just meant for moving at a snail's pace...



Old is the New New

Fabulously Faux

not your grandmother's fake pearls...

Copper Candy

Tie One On

or tie three on...

Strange Bedfellows

a vintage cameo.
a crystal bead.
an antique pocketwatch gear.
a loveworn metal buckle.
layers of brassy chain.

Vintage Inspiration

feminine. flirty. entirely original and never to be reproduced.
Very Mary's jewelry doesn't come from a factory.
it comes from her heart and her inspiration
and her hands and her tiny studio wonderland.

please, buy handmade.

Innocence

remember picket fences and borrowing tools from the neighbors and apple cider in autumn and knee socks and do unto others and hometown parades and picnic baskets and porch swings and church on Sundays and family dinners and Red Rover, Red Rover send Sally right over?
