About Flour Box Bakery

Owner Anne Yorks started the business in 2007 when she left the ‘real world’ to be a stay-at-home mom and pursue her dreams of owning and operating her own company. A baker since a very young age, Anne is self-taught and has perfected her cookies and recipes over years of trial and error. Baking is Anne’s passion! It is a true dream for Anne to be working in a career that provides her with so much enjoyment. She loves the act of baking and she loves the reaction from happy clients that enjoy her sweet treats. Over the years, Anne’s cookies have played a supporting role in major life events like weddings, parties, baby showers and other special occasions. Nothing gives Anne more satisfaction than knowing that her cookies are making people smile every day!

Handmade Feature: A Bird Parade from Gifts Define

Today's Handmade Feature comes to us from Gifts Define and showcases their {LOVELY} Bird Parade nursery collection designs! I absolutely love the detailed craftsmanship and charm that is seen throughout all of the handmade designs in their shop by using such vibrant colors and attention to detail in each piece. This Bird Parade Mobile features storybook birds made of soft wool with embroidered expressions and wings on both sides with your choice of a favorite deco centerpiece. The mobile comes standard with gender-neutral vibrant colored birds, but custom color options are also available (a small design fee is added).

Another great coordinating product that's offered is the Baby Announcement Bird that comes with a mini chalk board attached so that you can write your own special message such as your pregnancy or baby's birth announcement! You can clear the chalk with the swipe of a sponge and change your message as you see fit - what a great idea!

If you are looking for something to add that "special touch" to your next event, these Bird Parade Favors are PERFECT. These hand sewn storybook birds can be displayed in so many ways and are a great parting gift for your guests to remember your event.

Let us not forget about a special gift for our favorite little one with this Bird Parade Pet Pillow that will surely become your child's new best friend! Made from super soft premium fleece and available in five comforting color combinations, they are the perfect cuddle-buddy for your child.

We invite you to visit Gifts Define to view their entire collection of {AMAZING} handmade gifts, home decor and party favors. You can also follow them via Facebook and Twitter.
