Each little home are made out of reclaimed wood from Michigan (walnut and natural wood available). Made to order.

**My Wedding Day** We tried to make our wedding as comfortable and beautiful as we possibly could. Creating succulent centerpieces from vintage rulers and yardsticks. Spending many months collecting mason jars, hundreds of doilies and white milk glass vases. Re-purposed an old painters ladder for our backdrop at our ceremony. Hand painted tiny animals were added to baby food jars, with gravel and baby’s breath as favors for each guest. Chalkboard signs greeted and welcomed our friends and family. And I created a beautiful gift/envelope drop box out of two vintage suitcases.

**Handmade- Series of Plugins** Decided to expand the series of gas lantern > electrical plugin lamps. Converted these 3 beauts. This time around was a much cleaner job, and much cooler looking I might add. Each running on a Thomas Edison style lightbulb for you old timers into the early 1900s look. You can find these soon at [Whisky Ginger](http://www.whiskyginger.com).
