You've probably spotted these little floral stickers tucked into Water and Ink orders. . . and now they're finally available to purchase! 🌼🌿✨

Each sticker is made from a real flower or piece of greenery that has been carefully pressed and preserved. Most of the blooms come straight from my garden or my family's gardens, making each set a tiny collection of homegrown stickers 🥰

Perfect for journals, gift wrapping, snail mail, or adding a special touch to anything you create. No two sets are exactly alike, and that's part of the magic.

I can't wait to see where these flowers end up! 💓

Available now on my website for ordering or simply send me a message!

My hand-painted cards have made their way back to Bellbird Bakeshop in downtown La Grange just in time for Father's Day!

Pick up a card for Dad while you're grabbing your favorite bread and pastry. Everything you knead, all in one stop. 🥖😉

I tried something new on today's visit (kouign amann) and can confidently report: 11/10. ☺️

Great coffee, great food and a Father's Day card all in one place.

Day 15 and the final card in my Card a Day Until the End of May series! 💌✨

This sweet bird from my Rhode Island Sea Glass Collection is carrying a little bouquet and a lot of charm. 💐🐦 Each piece of sea glass is hand-collected and thoughtfully chosen for every design.

Like most of my cards, this one can be left blank or customized with a sentiment of your choice, making it perfect for so many occasions.

Thank you for following along with this challenge - I loved sharing a new card with you every day! ❤️
