What is Wallflower Home & Garden

Wallflower H&G is handcrafted items made from a mix of found metals and tinplate—the humble materials are created into beautiful and unique items for your home or to gift. The designs have a nostalgic feel and a timeless simplicity.

The tin pieces have a past, no hiding, no apologies. The distressed paint, rust and slight flaws bring a character and interest to the pieces that “perfect” can never bring. Each handcrafted tin item is a reminder for you to celebrate how beautiful life is, flaws and all.

The items in my shop are designed to help you feel good about your surroundings. The message is positive and the products are eco-friendly.

Proud member of Edmonton Made.

Who makes Wallflower Home & Garden?

My name is Sharon. I’m a mom of 5 grown children and I live with my husband Paul in Stony Plain, Alberta—a town just west of Edmonton. I make handcrafted tin art and home décor items. Most of my life I’ve been a wallflower, but that ended when I decided to do the unexpected and combine my love of quilting with punching tin. I let go of the rules and expectations of perfection and started creating with unexpected material and methods. I’ve always had a passion for quilting and my tin work reflects that influence. Patching distressed tin pieces together with intricate stamped patterns to create a quilted texture in the tin. My designs have a nostalgic feel, simple and uplifting. As a tried and true introvert, putting myself out there and putting my work on display is hard...like really hard. Instead of hiding that fact, it became the inspiration for my business name and message. My hope is that the items I make help you create a space you love and discover the softer side of metal.
