Alice, my mom, is a native of Stonington, Maine. She creates the most usual items you and I will ever see. I am totally amazed each time I go to visit her. Her creative genius just keeps going. What you and I throw away, she treats as gold. Her famous words are: "Oh, dear, Don't throw that away. I can use it." or another of my favorites: " Oh, dear, What are you going to do with that? Do mind if I have it?" It could be a top of a plastic gift box, but the fact is, she does have an idea and might even eventually use it. It is truly a special God given gift she has. I will let you decide for your self as you turn the pages of our web site. Please let me know what YOU think of this "unique" lady's works. I talk to mom quite often and she would love to hear the feedback from you all. thank you for entering our site.
