Cinnamon and Spice Beach Fun

Our first salt dough creation! We are excited about this material and you will be seeing many more of these figurines. My love of all things beachy inspired the starfish on this piece. I think the texture of the salt dough gives them a very natural appearance. This dark wood picture frame displays a 3.5” x 5” photo. Each frame is a perfect gift for those who love summertime beach fun. The complimentary hazelnut burlap and salt dough starfish really work well together. This is a handcrafted Cinnamon & Spice original.

Cinnamon and Spice More Beach Fun

Spice introduced me to salt dough and I am hooked. Thanks Spice! Here's the latest in our new collection. Am I at the beach or just dreaming? The beige, brown and sea blue placard, seashell embellishment and coordinating ribbon reflect the colors of a real seascape on this classic Ball mason jar. Salt dough starfish and butterfly figurines enhance the oceanside feel of this piece. Wish I were in Hawaii... Available now in our shop.

Cinnamon and Spice and All Things Nice

In my mind, Spring evokes images of glowing mamas-to-be at baby showers with close friends and relatives. For these favor tins, I wanted to design something delicate and soft. I have had these little containers for quite a while and kept thinking I wanted to alter them but wasn't sure in what way. These little tins make a cute package for a little something sweet or all by themselves.

I think the little pink and white striped "knit" booties are my favorite embellishment. Tins measure 2 in. diameter x 7/8 in. high and are available in sets of 12. Candies not included.

Available in our Etsy shop February 23rd.

Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails

I love discovering new, creative ways to craft with paper. I also wanted to make some really cute but stylish baby boy shower favors. You can fill them with your favorite sweets or leave them empty. Later on they make great craft storage or containers for small home or office supplies like pushpins or safety pins. Decorative details on these tins include embossed baby blue scrapbook paper, chocolate brown satin ribbon and a precious pale blue or green paper rocking horse on the lid.

Tins come in sets of 12 and measure 2 in. diameter x 7/8 in. high each. Candy is not included.

Available on Etsy starting February 23rd.

Sneak Peek at What's Upcoming--The Flower Child Jeremiah

Spice began making these dolls about 10 years ago when her daughter was 11. Her daughter loved them then and still does. Here is Spice's latest creation, the Jeremiah doll (I know they're pillows, but my daughter plays with them just like you would a doll baby). Can’t you feel his carefree, easygoing spirit?

All of our super cuddly friends are hand crocheted from an expansive assortment of rich colorful yarns. Our friends are special and great for Easter, birthday, holiday or "thinking of you" gift giving.

Eye-catching accents can include textured hair, lashes and vibrant colors. Pillows Kids are available in 81/2 x 11 or 17 x 22 inch sizes and can be customized to reflect hobbies, school colors, school emblems etc.

Will be available on Etsy February 23rd!
