Hand Carved Rustic Log Ring Box

A while back I carved a Ring Box for Kerriann. She was kind enough to share some photos from her special day. I wanted to share with you a romantic image of the box in a natural setting - so dreamy! And, a photo of the very handsome Gavin holding the box. Such a great model, I think he's a natural!

Grilled Avocado Sandwich Recipe


Yummy grilled avocado sandwich, now you see it, now you don't! If you've never had one, you ought to give it a try. Gently mash some avocado, and spread it on you favorite slice of bread. Sprinkle with a little salt. Spread some Earth Balance (vegan margarine) on the outside of the slices of bread, and grill until golden on both sides, and warmed through. This is a great sandwich! Give it a try.

New Sparkle & Posy Boutonnieres

This is the new Into The Forest Boutonniere. A handsome blend of feathers, brunia blooms, and an gray grosgrain ribbon knot. Feather color options available.

Our handsome Sonoma Boutonniere was inspired by a lovely floral display that we saw in Sonoma California, in the heart of the wine country. Constructed with beautiful brunia blooms, that coordinate perfectly with all sorts of succulents, airy rice flower or baby's breath (your choice of color), and wrapped with a lovely neutral twine. Rustic, handsome, and loaded with elegance and charm.
