The Rusty Halo

Welcome To My Shop

We are two sisters who grew up at the Jersey Shore. We lived in simpler times when a box of crayons was a huge gift and a new coloring book was reason for celebration.

For years we've been searching for a place where we could both express our creative views and still be together. For 15 years we did this at local craft shows but with the advent of a new century we found ourselves going in different directions.

The elder sister, Carolyn, a Jersey Girl took up her camera again only to put it away while she battled breast cancer. Now cancer free she celebrates the beauty of nature with unique and whimsical photos.

The younger sister, Sara, another Jersey Girl has never wandered far from her fabric stash. With wood and fiber she creates one of a kind folk art ornies and dolls. Imbuing each with her special love of family.
