Our Story

Welcome to When Cardinals Appear, a place where handmade crafts are created with love and memories. Learn about  my journey, what inspires me, and the special meaning behind my creations.

In memory of love

When Cardinals Appear was born from a heartfelt inspiration. After the passing of my daughter in May 2023, who shared a love for crafting, I wanted to honor that passion. Each item is made with love, and even though she's not physically here, I feel her presence the most when I'm crafting.

The name 'When Cardinals Appear' holds a special significance. Cardinals often appear to remind me how close my daughter still is to me.  They offer comfort and reassurance of the connection and love that guides my craft.

Unique and heartfelt

These handmade items are truly one-of-a-kind. Many of the pieces are crafted with resin or paint, resulting in beautiful color patterns and designs that are never exactly the same. While certain things can be controlled, the uniqueness of each item is what makes it special.

"I hope my customers can feel the love that was in the room when the item was crafted."
