Gayle also makes other wonderful handcrafted items such as patchwork, dried pressed flower bookmarks, handbags, magnets and ACEO's as well as beautiful wall hangings and qualities. Many of her items are OOAK (one of a kind) and she also considers custom work as well.
Gayle was inspired to start crafting and selling her work after reading an article about local crafters in the Charlotte Observer. Her shop is called Whatshername. This unique name stems from something many of us suffer from, the inability to remember names! Gayle has a hard time remembering names and often times finds herself saying, "Now what was her name? So she named her business Whatshername to make it easy for customers to remember.
Her crafts are not only a hobby but also what she considers her "art therapy". She has fibromyalgia and finds her crafts very relaxing and therapeutic. Her youngest son who also suffers from a chronic health condition has a special section in her shop called Cards by Mitchell.
As a special treat in her shop you can find a PIF (pay it forward) section. Currently she offers free recipes for Mint Syrup, Spinach Souffle and Garden Insecticide. You can copy and save them right from her shop. She also offers PIF dried/pressed flowers. There is always a promotion running in her shop so please stop by and check out her shop for updates.
Additional craft pieces can be found at Gayles Gifts and Gifts of Glory. You can also follow this crafter on twitter.
