Just finished this script-style “B” cake topper today… and I have to say, this is one of my all-time favorite letters to make 🤍

Each piece is completely handmade using dried grapevine, carefully shaped and wrapped to create that perfectly imperfect, organic look. No two are ever the same—and that’s what makes them so special.

This style fits beautifully with so many of today’s wedding trends—think vineyard weddings, boho romance, rustic elegance, and that soft, effortless “shabby chic” aesthetic that’s everywhere right now. It adds such a warm, natural touch to a cake and instantly becomes a meaningful focal point.

I just love how something so simple can feel so personal and timeless ✨

Would you use a monogram topper like this for your wedding?

I’m so excited to share something special with you all 🤍

My friend has just launched her new art page, Gild & Garden, and I can honestly say her work is absolutely stunning. I’ve seen these pieces in person, and they are truly one-of-a-kind—beautifully crafted with so much creativity and heart behind each one.

If you love unique, vintage-inspired art and garden pieces, you need to check her out. Give her page a like and show her some love—you won’t be disappointed 🌿

Welcome to my page! I am the artist behind Gild & Garden, a body of work that transforms vintage lamp bases into one-of-a-kind garden sculptures. Drawing inspiration from nature, historic craftsmanship, and a lifelong love of gardening, I repurpose forgotten objects—many dating from the 1920s through the 1950s—into birdbaths, plant stands, and sculptural pieces designed to live indoors or out..

With a background in graphic design, publishing, and creative marketing spanning more than four decades, I bring an eye for composition, color, and form to each piece I create. Layers of metallic finishes, vintage glass, and salvaged materials give every sculpture its own character while preserving the craftsmanship of the original object.

Based in the Binghamton, New York region, I create work that celebrates renewal, sustainability, and the quiet life of the garden. My pieces invite birds, bees, and pollinators to gather, transforming what once illuminated a room into art that lights up the landscape.

Contact me if you're interested in adding one of my pieces to your home or garden.
