Oh, it’s my favorite time of the year! WHRL’s Winter Festival & Auction is just around the corner. I’ve felt time-poor this season leading up to the event, but I’ve got new designs and some old favorites for auction entries.

I love Charley Harper’s artwork and decided to feature his bird art in my tree this year. I’ve paired the tree with a cherry-red bird feeder, Charley Harper coaster set, mug, bookmark, and Mystery of the Missing Migrant’s puzzle.

I created a dozen ornaments using cutouts of Charley Harper prints and set them in ornament bezels with epoxy. I may have made a couple of extras for my tree.

Always present, a Joyful Owl perched on this grapevine wreath.

A woodland balsam wreath is home to a Long-eared owl. She’s my favorite owl design after the Joyful Owl.

I uncovered this never-used red teapot of Mom’s this summer. $50 later, it’s the centerpiece to a Christmas Tea gift basket with tea, cookies, a ceramic tree, candle, Crate & Barrel cups, and festive mug mats.

For children, a Bluey plushie and storybook are tucked into a balsam wreath. I have so many ideas and so little time!

Stay tuned – I’ll share Hannah’s creations in the next few days – they are so creative!
