The hand crafted cards and gift items in the "McConnell Memories" series feature wallpaper currently found in the formal parlor (tan/sage/coral) and the upstairs hall (pearl on white) [These are not the original wallpapers but new papers of similar pattern and color which replaced those removed during room restoration] Paired with antique laces (circa 1850 to 1940) and accented with hand created paper filigree motifs of my own design or adapted from designs published by Wm. Bemrose in 1878. Designs vary. Contact Paula to inquire about availability or to request custom work.
