Becky Kelly and her BEAUTIFUL art. Becky creates a world seemingly suspended in time: a world where children dangle their toes in clear running streams; best friends giggle and daydream in the comfortable crook of an ancient tree; and ethereal fairies doze on dew-dappled leaves. But Becky is quick to point out that what she paints is not fantasy. The scenes she paints are based on the real world, with just a sprinkling of stardust to add a bit of magic. And, Becky is having a SPRING SALE – 15% Off!
The Yarn Kitchen – Stella’s shop is packed full of such lovely goodies for the home. She knits and crochets, felts and sews and, in her own words, creates a rainbow with fiber.

A Child’s Dream Come True : Debbie offers natural crafts, toys and more to nurture the child’s sense of life and imagination. In fact, the nurturing of imagination doesn’t stop with children… it was a result of the BEAUTIFUL wool and fiber I found at A Child’s Dream Come True that I first fell in love with needle felting. Looking through their gorgeously colored wool, I’m like a kid in a candy shop! I have found quite a few of my favorite felting books at A Child’s Dream too…
