Closed this afternoon for a dear friend’s celebration of life. Count your blessings. Love generously. Our time on this earth is short.
Will be back in the Studio & Schoolhouse tomorrow as the Magical Schoolhouse Christmas continues. Don’t let those frigid temps scare you off. It’s warm & toasty inaide. And we have hot cocoa. And WINE.

Might have to make some of these AFTER Christmas. For the birdies that didn’t make it to Florida or Arizona with the other snowbirds.

Liza Jane Designs was born and continues to grow from a desire to create. And to redeem. To take discarded or rejected items and use quality materials, imagination, and simple techniques to re-imagine them as items that can be treasured in a unique home setting. Such as yours.
Because I find such joy in creating, I want to share this with anyone who wants to learn. I believe that everyone is creative at their core and I want to encourage you to look with new eyes at what's around you and imagine ways you can change and beautify your surroundings. Because it's fun. Because it's empowering. Because it's good for the soul and good for the planet to RE-USE and RE-imagine. To know the value of good stuff and breathe life into what's old and dusty. To create from simple materials. To create from your very own hands.
Today, I officially launched my online store selling Iron Orchid Designs (IOD) products. Soon I will add a line of Wise Owl paints. Next week will be the GRAND OPENING of Liza Jane’s IOD Market as a kiosk-based addition to upstairs of fabulous Eye Candy ReFind in Hasting. MN. I hope to do fun & inspiring workshops and get every single person who wants to start making to start making. And to believe in their power to create something beautiful.
