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 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. ❤️
