Miss Annette has since found her furever home, but I had to share this elegant beauty! 💕

She is a sophisticated gal who obviously LOVES pink & absolutely despises being rushed so don’t even try it.

Miss Annette can be found traveling the globe making new friends one cup of tea at a time.

Making has brought so much joy back into crafting for me. Thank you to Emily Suidikas for the inspired idea. I am obsessed & am creating MANY more pieces.

Be sure to come check them out this Saturday 12-5pm for the Halloween Town Market by Good Vibes Market at Kosciusko County Community Fair ! ✨

Just had to share some of my favorite pieces I made that sold this past weekend at The Coraline Market hosted by Good Vibes Market 💜💙🩷

The first piece I couldn’t pass up making something with one of my favorite phrases from the movie alongside felt I cut out to look like him. 🦑

The second piece is a beanie baby taxidermy. I have actually been collecting materials for months to make these! I was inspired by Emily Suidikas. I did lots of thrifting fabrics, stuffies, broken jewelry and more. That alone satisfies the trinket collector raven in my soul. All of these types of pieces will all come named with likes and dislikes. The Koala piece I named Judge Tilly. She loves justice, picnics & black coffee. She dislikes criminals. I have five other taxidermy’s available as well!

The last two were crochet plushies inspired by & sold almost immediately. I will be making more for our Halloween Town market on 10/3/26!

I’ve been spending a lot more time creating things and I couldn’t be happier. I can’t wait to share it at upcoming markets! Come see us at Fort Wayne Tattoo Festival this Friday 8/14 through Sunday 8/16!

Hi friends,

Some of you know I’ve been struggling with my health recently, but it just keeps piling on lately. I ended up in the ER last week & am still dealing with those issues. Due to said issues & not qualifying for insurance/assistance (yet) I am creating a pop up garage sale/market as a fundraiser this weekend!

Healthcare is anything but cheap & I am already overwhelmed. I’m at the point where I have to choose which health issue I can afford to take care of, if any. So what better way to gather funds than to sell my wares! Even if you can’t attend you can show your support just by sharing this post. If you made it this far I greatly appreciate you. This will technically be outdoors, but within the garage and canopy walls. So this will be held rain or shine! Hope to see you there!

Much love,
Alex ✨❤️
