Fabric landscapes are created by hand appliqueing different fabrics to a muslin base, then mated and framed.
Wall hangings are machine pieced flowers or animals used in the picture books. Thin wooden dowels and fishing line are attached for easy hanging.
Fabric animal picture books have 6 pages in each book. They are machine pieced and most faces have some hand embroidery. They are washable. I will take custom orders for books and wall hangings.

Saltbox Pottery
Posted by Tracy Adams & filed under .
Form follows function…
What is this pottery used for? How best can the shape promote its usefulness? These pots stack nicely in the cupboard. They fit and rattle around well in the dishwasher and have comfortable handles for many sized hands. They are oven, dishwasher and microwave safe and of course, lead-free.
That said, function isn’t the only determining factor. My influences through classical training or from ancient Greece, early American in old English pottery. I enjoyed a refined, uplifted form with a durable rim. My decoration is kept to a minimum with more emphasis placed on the shape and glaze.
I enjoy cooking and entertaining and always try to imagine a piece of pottery that will enhance the presentation of my meals. Whether it’s a piece to keep butter soft, to serve large salads and main courses or aid in the discrete disposal of olive pits, my pottery is thoroughly planned, start to finish. I am, in a nutshell, a practical Yankee!
Maine Bags & Goods
Posted by Tori T Yattaw & filed under .
All pieces are designed and hand crafted in Maine. Focusing on aesthetic and function, the rugged leather, waxed canvas, quality linens and brass hardware are the starting point. With the seasonal Maine elements in mind, I have created a line that can be packed up for a day at the beach or look great on your shoulder while trudging through a New England snow storm. The leather is sourced from a tannery in Maine which adds to each bag’s story. Marrying the leather with various fabrics creates many design options and the chance to build your own bag. The end result is a chic bag with a nautical and utilitarian flair.
