FAAP Team Member Introduction

We're pleased to introduce Tana of Prairie Primitives!

Here's what she has to say on her Etsy Shop "About" page:

  "I've been creating antique-inspired folk art since 1990. Working from my Northern California studio, which is both smoke-free and pet-free, I sell here on Etsy, at antique and craft fairs in Sacramento and Silicon Valley, and wholesale to several dozen gift shops across the country (and one shop in Japan!).

I love using bits of antique quilts in my creations. I also use scraps of worn-out handwoven coverlets and hand-crocheted lace, vintage buttons, and other antique & vintage sewing room treasures that I find at local estate sales.

My creations have been featured in the Mainte Antiques Digest (September 2011), The Country House catalog, and in a Japanese magazine article about Nantucket Country,

 a gift shop in Kobe, Japan."

Bay Leaf Garland with Pomegranates

Hang this bay leaf garland above your fireplace, on the knobs of a cupboard drawer, or in your favorite nook. Bay leaves, quince & pods are strung together on this garland. The bay leaf section measures 28" long and the black & mustard homespun ties on each end allow it to adjust so it measures up to 40" long!
