Works in Progress
I have been working on applying one of Charles Colton's borders onto some of my old Rand McNally wagon road maps to make them look a little more appealing. Stay tuned for Utah and New Mexico next month!
Sometimes when I scan my originals the tea stain color is so faint it shows up white on the reproductions. I have to offset the white in order to beautify the images for some quality Lithographs for distribution in Spring 2016. I'm so excited. You can shop for these images and more at my shop.
I have started to work with a cartography firm who will help expedite the custom map process. Please click here for a quick video about my custom maps.  Custom maps make precious Christmas presents and now is the time to place your order. Each custom map takes about 5 weeks. Please email me right away if you have questions about our custom map orders.

A note from Me
"My maps reflect the old style of mapmaking," she said. Some date back to the 1500's. She views her work as a way of preserving history.- Spokane Spokesman Review  July 31, 2015

As time goes on maps and map enthusiasts become more and more dear to me. Thank you so much for sharing your love for maps with me!
