proud etsy mom

blue blossoms orchid from Winsome Hollow

Like the majority of moms, I am proud of everything my daughters do. Both of my daughters are very talented textile artists and have businesses on Etsy, where they sell their beautiful handmade creations. My youngest daughter, Katy, has a shop called winsomehollow, where she sells her stunning creations inspired by nature.

Katy is currently featured as the Best of Etsy artist in the fall issue of Better Homes and Gardens DIY magazine. We are sooo excited and she has been visiting this week, so we have been able to be excited together.



Katy thrifts for vintage finds, which she combines with her beautifully made textile pieces to create stunning floral creations. ( the kind that even those without a green thumb can maintain)




So congratulations, Katy and now the proud mama has to find the perfect vintage frame to show it off.

    Oh...what an exciting time for your daughter and for you. You deserve the pride. :-) I have a sneak suspicion where some of that talent comes from. This is my first visit but I'm enjoying the visit ever so much.
