Featured Folk Artist Ruthie Pierce of Ohio

I am obsessed with the work of Ohio folk artist, Ruthie Pierce.  I have been collecting her pieces for a few years since she premiered in our Ohio event, The Village Peddler Festival.  If you don't find yourself in Northeastern Ohio on the second weekend after Labor Day, we do have a few selected items from Ruthie's work available at The Boxwood Cottage. 

Handmade Pears - reinterpretations of old pincushion designs - by Ruthie Pierce of Ohio.  Ruthie dyes the fabrics, collects vintage fabric and ribbon as well as vintage keys, buttons, thread, and candlesticks.  Incredibly she uses old styles of stitching to create the beaded texture on the pears.  Incredible work.  Also, the pears have real sticks as their stems! Love!
Pinkish pear with charms, $105. Yellow pear with strawberry accent, $120.

Purple Chicken with Turquoise accents by Ruthie Pierce, $150.  Another wonderful example of her talent and whimsy.  These will be hard to part with - but I am sure they will find wonderful homes with new collectors of Ruthie's folk art. 

We are happy to take phone orders (the old fashioned way!) and ship anywhere.  If you're interested in any of the pieces please contact us at 843-644-1864 or heidibrueggeman@gmail.com.
