i am delighted by the curving, looping character of the natural stems.
i am stunned by the incredibly high quality of the materials and workmanship.
i marvel at the way this product expresses rustic farmhouse, colorful bohemian, and traditional country home decor styles!
i am in awe of the PERFECT way that this product dovetails with the brand of this artisan,

"Saving small pieces of history, one needlepoint at a time."

for decades, she has designed and created products that she loves, that make her heart sing,
and that allow her to bring a completely unique perspective to market.
she is an original, as is every piece that emanates from her very talented hands.

i first saw these little darlings shared online by my friend Sharon, the artist, a few years ago,
and i literally jumped up off my chair and screamed with joy!
(honestly, i haven't been as excited about a pumpkin since.... well,
since 2007 - when i designed my first Original Sweet Sweater Pumpkin!)
friends, my blog is all about sharing ideas and inspiring you to create... but this time,and i literally jumped up off my chair and screamed with joy!

it's about sharing a great resource where you can get something unique for your home,
and support the person who creates original products with her own two hands.
this time, i am asking you directly: PLEASE do not copy this idea - especially to SELL it.
i encourage you to support this artisan and entrepreneur
by purchasing her original creation directly from her HERE.
this is one simple way that we can ALL make the world better: women supporting women in business.
because karma. what goes around, comes around.
SO many women over the years - and a few good men, too! -
have generously promoted, praised, photographed, published, purchased,
and shared, selected, and recommended my Sweet Sweater Pumpkins.
these incredible people helped to make my original creations a success,
and i am so incredibly grateful for each one of them for their support.
this is a chance for me to 'give back' and 'pay it forward' by doing the same thing,
for a friend who deserves every bit of success that is coming her way.
