Honeysuckle Lane and Simple Joys Paperie creations are made to remind us of the beauties of nature and simple joys, evoking the charm and nostalgia of a bygone era. Original designs are made in a miscellany of styles: colonial, cottage, early, farmhouse, garden, folk art, primitive, and vintage, with occasional bits of whimsy. These unique, hand-crafted items include dolls, paintings, needlework items, cloth and hand sculpted animals, pincushion make-dos, jewelry, paper whimsies, valentines, and more! I love nature, simple pleasures, and times past and hope to remind others of these joys. It is also my desire is to reflect the beauty and the blessings of the Lord in my designs. Thank you for visiting Honeysuckle Lane and come back often. Handmade creations are added as they are completed. Browse through the pages, where you're sure to find something unique to feather your nest or to give to a dear friend.

Simple Joys Paperie, my website featuring paper art, will open in August.

~ Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest,

whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure,

whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report;

if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. ~
