My New Renaissance and Festival Wear Collection

I will have a booth at Sherwood’s 60th annual Robin Hood Festival. July 19th and 20th. This year’s parade theme is “Hats Off to Robin Hood!” I am having some fun designing some fun period costumes and festival wear.

Personalized Hand Painted Growth Charts

Personalized painted heart ornament and photo pocket

 

These are samples of some recent growth charts that I have painted. I am personalizing them with names and colors of choice. A permanent marker is included to add your own dates and notes. Special features include 4 vinyl pockets that I am sewing on so favorite pictures of the child can be added. Names can be added in the title, “Watch Nora Grow” or with a hand painted heart “ornament” inscribed with a name. Often, there are multiple children so this is a great way to include everyone.

 

 

Assorted Growth Charts

They are approximately 8″ X 48″ to measure a child up to 5 feet. I am also making some longer to include birth height and up to 6 feet. I am using recycled cotton canvas and drapes when possible so each one is a little different but they have a very heavy muslin feel to them. They are ready to hang suspended by wooden dowels

 

Some designs are cutesy and feminine, some are more gender neutral. I am eager to make a special one just for you! This is a great gift for expecting parents, a young family and grand parents, too.

$35 – $40 + $5 shipping
