LITTLE LACE LADY Our goal is to produce and sell quality products that have a special message to bring to the lives of people in their everyday circumstances. We have been very encouraged by what we hear and the fact that our angels and gifts are used in conveying love, remembrance, and thoughtfulness. We have always felt that the handmade gift is special and means so much more when given to a friend or family. Angels are wonderful for Christmas, but they are also great gifts for people in the hospital, people moving away, weddings, birthdays, baby showers, and friendship. We also love to stamp! We have a great selection of stamp pads, embossing powders, markers (including blending pens), blank fancy or plain cards and envelopes sets in all sizes, Crystal Lacquer, brass stencils for dry embossing, and just about anything else you can think of to create your projects. We will be happy to show you how you can start to create your memories with photographs and scrapbooking. We would especially like to show you how you can incorporate the many wonderful stamps into your pages to create color coordinated and designed scrapbooks. In addition, we have supplies for quilting and cross-stitching including patterns and fabrics. Quilting classes are available. http://www.littlelaceladyshop.com
