The Creative Journey of a Husband and Wife Hobbyist Team
Growing up, Dave and Karen had separate creative interests that would eventually intertwine to form a dynamic duo of artistic expression. Their shared passion for creativity has led them on a journey of restoration, repurposing, and crafting that they are excited to share with others through this blog and their Facebook page.
Dave: The Restorer of Beauty
Dave has always had a keen eye for seeing the hidden beauty in ordinary objects. His love for antiques, particularly mantiques, has fueled his passion for restoration and repurposing. Whether it’s an old piece of furniture or a forgotten relic, Dave’s artistic talents breathe new life into these items, transforming them into unique works of art.
His dedication to his craft is evident in the meticulous attention to detail he puts into each project. From carefully choosing the right materials to the precise restoration techniques, Dave’s creations are a testament to his skill and passion. However, his attachment to his work often makes it difficult for him to part with his creations, making this blog and their Facebook page the perfect platforms to share his art with others.
Tante Sadie: The Papercraft Enthusiast
Tante Sadie, the alter ego of Karen, is the embodiment of a sweet grandmotherly figure who always has a crafting project in progress. Her love for papercrafts, such as giftware, cards, and scrapbooking kits, knows no bounds. Karen shares Tante Sadie’s passion for papercrafts, although her role has often been more focused on organizing fun and creative parties and events for her children.
Together, Karen and Tante Sadie bring a unique perspective to the world of papercrafts. Their combined creativity and attention to detail result in stunning creations that are not only beautiful but also hold sentimental value. From handmade cards that convey heartfelt messages to intricately designed scrapbooking kits that capture cherished memories, their papercrafts are a labor of love.

They often find themselves bouncing ideas off each other, offering different perspectives and approaches to their respective crafts. This synergy has resulted in projects that seamlessly blend their individual styles, creating truly unique pieces that showcase their combined talents.
Through their blog and Facebook page, Dave and Karen aim to inspire others to embrace their own creative passions.
