Step into a tiny world of color and imagination.
Each Storybook House Ornament is hand‑painted in my Topanga studio, inspired by the charm of old European villages and the magic of childhood picture books. These tall, whimsical cottages feature flower‑trimmed windows, tiny characters peeking out, and soft pastel ribbons for hanging.
Every house is one‑of‑a‑kind — painted with layered details, dimensional accents, and a personality all its own. Whether you’re decorating a tree, gifting a book lover, or adding a touch of fairy‑tale charm to your home year‑round, these little houses bring a gentle spark of wonder wherever they hang.

Care instructions
Resin picks up finger prints and the surface is affected by plastic wrap or bubblewrap. It needs to be wrapped with tissue paper first then bubble wrap so that it doesn't mar the surface, If the surface does become marred just let it sit out in a warm room and eventually it will go back to a smooth surface.
Gift wrapping and packaging
I can wrap any gift you might want to send with charming paper and card. People will love the packaging as much as the gift ;)
