My Widow's Journey

After losing my husband of 30 years, my world shifted in ways I never imagined. The life we built together, the dreams we shared, and the quiet everyday moments we treasured are now held gently in memory. In the midst of deep loss, I have found that creating with a purpose is part of my moving forward through this journey — one day at a time.

My Widow's Journey is where I share those moments honestly — the hard days, the hopeful days, and the quiet reminders that joy still finds its way back. It is a space for remembering, for healing, and for celebrating a life and love that will always be part of me.

Ricky and Tracy

Ricky supported my dreams wholeheartedly and was always finding ways to help me grow and believe in what I was building. He encouraged me to open this shop, to share my handmade creations, and to send little pieces of home and heart out across the country. I finally did it, Rick… and I carry your love with me in every box I send. 🤍

Ten Months.

Ten Months.

Ten months. 304 days of learning how to carry grief, love, memories… and a missing that will last my lifetime. That feels so strange to type out.  But, It's true. ...
