This is Adelaide. She lives in a cherry red, well-worn vintage toolbox that once housed socket wrenches. She is a stunner and often stops people in their tracks. She especially likes a perch on a shelf or mantle surrounded by books and collectibles.
She is an original mixed-media collage made from tiny scraps of vintage recycled gardening and design magazines, arranged layer by layer to form rich texture and subtle color shifts. Accented with delicate hand stitching, she carries depth you can feel and details that reward a closer look. She has a hanger on the back or she can stand alone on a mantle or shelf.

About the Butterfly Moths
The butterfly moths are inspired by the landscape around our 80 acres in Northern Michigan—milkweed fields full of monarchs, quiet woods, and small discoveries that invite me to slow down and really see.
Why Collect an Original?
Only one exists. Collecting the original connects you directly to the creative process, the hands that made it, and the story behind it.
Collectors often say the same thing: it’s the texture and details that stop them.
Grace and the toolbox she is set into are uniquely tactile—every layered scrap, every thread, every tiny surface variation that creates depth and movement. It’s the difference between seeing a photograph of something and standing right in front of it—present, dimensional, alive.
