After many requests, I designed an anchor t-shirt as part of our adoption fundraiser, and they are now available in my Etsy shop! The anchor shirts are available in soft cotton navy and in a flattering v-neck women’s cut which runs pretty true to size. I also still have my other t-shirts available in the […]

Happy Monday! This weekend the hubs and I took a quick little trip with our friends Mark and Mary to Northern Pennsylvania. It was a gorgeous weekend, and we had such a nice, relaxing time! Mark is a pilot, so he flew us up in his small airplane. What a treat! We flew over the […]

I’ve just added a new sign to the shop, and it’s one of my favorites! It is based on the scripture from Psalm 147:3 “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds”. It comes in a 16″ x 20″ size – small enough to fit into any space! You can find it in the […]
