Black Cats, White Cats, and Piggys, OH MY!

Two wee little black kitties came to live with me today. I am completely in love. They were created by an amazing artist named Gail Johnson, also known as Dilly Dallyz. The one on the left is called One Big Sweetheart and on the right is Giving Thanks.

I snagged up these two, but I am so pleased to let you know that I have 2 Dilly Dallyz pieces available for purchase.

First let me introduce you to Wilma. Wilma is ready for easter, and even has a couple of chocolates to give as a hello gift to her new owner! While Wilma may sound like a mild mannered, generous pig, I can tell by the look on her face that she is mischevious and ready for fun. Wilma is available in our store for $30, and is one of a kind.

And last but not least we have sisters, Peach and Esther. They love living in their pretty rose filled room. They are always together, and that is the way they like it. They have been very quiet ladies so far, and are very polite. They can live with you for $55.

Both pieces are one of a kind, and will go quickly. If you can't make it to Sage and Daisy this weekend, you can purchase Wilma or The Sisters by phone at 816.531.7243 or email at sageanddaisy@sbcglobal.net.

Overwhelming Talent

I am in awe over some of the talented artists that make Sage and Daisy Handmade Gallery so wonderful.

We are super excited to announce that we now carry the work of Erin Lueth, otherwise known as sewsewsuckurtoe on Etsy. She has created some sweet plush for our store, including her fabulous Voodoo doll pincushions and matryoshka dolls.

We are also stocking totes and artwork by Silje Roe Hagland of ohxcrap . Can you believe how amazing her owl canvases are? If you want one, hurry up and get here. At $32 they are a steal!

We had an exciting day here at Sage and Daisy involving news crews and cameras (in the most positive way)....... but that's all I can tell you for now!

More Buttons!

As you all know too well, I have an obsession with buttons. They are round, they are pretty, they are perfect additions to everything.

Today I indulged in my favorite activity in the world. I sat at my work table, put all of my jars of buttons in front of me, and played. I like to let the buttons tell me what they want to be. I know that sounds silly. I start out by dumping one of my jars, and choose a few buttons. Then I stack them and wait for inspiration to strike. Today the buttons wanted to be brooches, along with some really great vintage brass stampings I have been saving for just the right project.

A few of the brooches are now listed in the shop, and there are lots more to come.

I have a feeling this button obsession is not going to end any time soon.
