A pair of candlesticks made of pipe! I am very excited. There are a few more pictures to see. Oh, and the Cheez-its in the background – also my gift. =)

a new crafty venture from winck n’ crane!

winck n' crane logoSeveral months ago, a friend and I heard rumor of a craft fair that our church was going to host in the fall. Both being craftily-inclined, we thought it would be great fun to have a table at the craft fair together. Under the banner of Winck n’ Crane, we made our debut. We debated selling our custom children’s clothing online if the craft fair were either very successful, or very unsuccessful (thus leaving us with unsold merchandise that needs a good home!)

Well, the craft fair garnered a rather limited audience, but having sold a few pieces each, we decided to launch Winck n’ Crane, an online children’s clothing boutique. We’re in the process of adding more items to our store. We also started a blog, where we’re currently running a contest to name our winking crane logo. Submit a name (or two!) and win some lovely prizes from Winck n’ Crane.
