2014 WSH Handbag Auction...checkout DJH Designs handcrafted awesomeness!

This year's contributions included a coffee themed tray, cookies (of course) & the grand finale potting bench! DJH just got an order for another one too...it was a hot bid item in the garden section for sure!

Can you see the vintage Maxwell House coffee can planted with a marigold? The vine was also beautiful & had a lovely orange blossom that decided to fall off as I was planting it...argh! Plus a handmade bag fashioned from a burlap coffee sack sewn by Kris P.


Isn't it fantastic! Almost too nice to get dirt on! Winner also got an upcycled pair of Davey's carpenter pants fashioned into a garden apron...adorable meets functional.



Sarah's Pool Party

This was such a cute theme...not really under the sea, but all things that swim. Errr, do octopus swim? In any case there were swedish fish, clown fish, octopus & sharks that were so big I had to cut them in half, which kind of made them look like they we're coming out of the water. All yummy gummy creatures on pool blue vanilla cream icing on French vanilla cake.



Baby Gender Reveal Party

I guess this is the latest trend in showers...or pre-showers as it were. Actually had two of these events to bake for within just a few weeks of each other...first was twins (both girls) & grandma ordered pink & blue buggies...I threw in my vote by including an extra pink buggy!!

But this round was really special because I got to be the first, outside of the happy parents, to know what gender their bundle of joy was going to be! Secret filling let everyone know.
