This is an example of a recent birth keepsake I made; often I use a tree motif for these, but when this customer ordered for her new niece, she mentioned that the family lives in a quaint coastal town. I created this fun seaside keepsake for baby Adeline, featuring all of the family pets.

Meanwhile, in related news… I have done work for Nebraska Friends of Midwives before, and now I am participating in an online auction to benefit the organization. If you like their Facebook page you can view a lot of great items, including a custom birth keepsake like the one above – the online auction goes until Wednesday night so act fast if you see something you like!
