 NEW DESIGNS
Our card line continues to grow as nature’s awe inspiring beauty fuels are imagination and artistic eye. In some of our latest designs, you’ll find …
- leaves, grasses, and flowers intermingling with shells and sand
- patchworks of beautiful handmade papers framing vibrant flowers and striped shells
- ridges of highly textured paper pulp opening to valleys of sand and shells
- whimsical uses of nature as rice shell coconuts sway on palm trees topped with maple leaves
We are excited to play with new ingredients such as lavender and huckleberry teas, macadamia nut coffee, corn husk, black sand, mountain ferns, and golden leaf grasses. These natural materials create grand pianos, rose guitars, bubble baths filled with flowers, mountain scenes, coffee cups and many more.

| SUNNY CUSTOMER STORIES
On a crisp winter day, in a quaint Washington island town, a little girl strolled into a gallery. Her thoughts were focused on one very important thing, buying the perfect Christmas gift for her father. As she glanced around the charming store, she caught the owner’s helpful eye. After a brief inquiry, the little girl explained the gift had to be something special and meaningful.
Wanting to give her tiny customer, with such a thoughtful spirit, plenty of options, she asked the little girl what types of hobbies her father enjoyed. After discovering he played the piano, she slowly took her around the store pointing out various gifts that might appeal to her including a Dreams of Nature baby grand piano card. She explained that she could write a special message inside and put it in a frame. Now her gift would last forever. After carefully contemplating all the lovely items shown to her, without hesitation, the little girl placed the piano card in her hand, picked out a black treasure box frame, and made her purchase.
A short time after the holiday season, the gallery owner was delighted when the little girl returned to the store with her father. She had insisted he join her to repay a visit to thank the helpful owner. The little girl wanted to make sure she knew how much her father loved her gift ... a special message hung in pride and gratitude for such a wonderful child.
