Happy Easter - from the Duck "Gourd Bellies"©





These ducks are also bobble heads and have the interior space for Easter treats (see "Gourd Bellie" © description below) . The head, belly and legs are all parts of a gourd - the legs come from the neck of a gourd.

Gourd Purse - Wedgwood style




This is a gourd made to look like Wedgwood China.

Gourd Purses





The same gourds that shelter the townspeople of "Gourdonville" are also used to make fashionable purses

I make each one different and unique. No two Gourd Purses are exactly the same.

Each purse has a brass hinge & clasp, fabric lined and the shell is artistically designed to fit the changing seasons and your mood.
