I love the old fashioned straw ornaments from her shop! I have a collection for my tree, would be perfect to add a few more!
I have liked your Facebook page for a few months 🙂 Does that count?
I really like the Christmas card 5a option. I’ve entered more giveaways today then I think I ever have! Tis the season I suppose! And thank you!
I’m with Barb. I love the old fashioned straw ornaments. What a talented artist and beautiful work.
I am particularly fond of the colorful straw ornaments and the smash of red on the Christmas card. My sister in law is German and introduced me to the straw ornaments ~ very delicate and they resonate the straw in the manger. Very lovely indeed! and what a talent to create!
I purchased several of Ursula’s cards and received one of her wonderful straw ornaments…. would encourage all to do the same ..they are even better in person ! Can’t wait to send these treasures on to friends and family….. Thanks for sharing this Sheila
Ok, between me (as me) and Inkdepot I think I have covered the bases….
I absolutely love the orange/pink, red/white, and yellow/teal blue ornaments.
Her work is beautiful.

All these designs are beautiful. One of my favourites is No.5b, very rich with the red and gold and No.8 with its bright primary colours. Love them; and love seeing Ursula’s art on Facebook.

The star retro straw ornaments are quite nice!
