What is Wallflower Home & Garden

Wallflower H&G is a collection of handcrafted art and home décor made from repurposed tinplate and found metals—humble materials transformed into meaningful, one-of-a-kind pieces. Each design carries a nostalgic charm and timeless simplicity that speaks to the heart.

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.

Whether you're decorating your home or giving a meaningful gift, my pieces are made to inspire and uplift. Crafted with care from both new and reclaimed materials, they serve as gentle reminders that life, like art, is most beautiful when we embrace its imperfections.

Who makes Wallflower Home & Garden?

Hi, I'm Sharon—maker, mom of five, and founder of Wallflower H&G.

For most of my life, I was a quiet observer—a wallflower. But everything changed when I picked up a piece of discarded tin and started creating something beautiful from it. Combining my lifelong love of quilting with the art of hand-punched tin, I began crafting heartfelt pieces that speak to nostalgia, simplicity, and meaning.

My tin art is made from recycled containers, carefully chosen and stitched together—visually and emotionally—like a patchwork quilt. I add stamped messages and intricate patterns to reflect the warmth and memory of handmade traditions, all while embracing the texture and strength of metal.

Creating and sharing my work hasn’t always come easily. As an introvert, putting myself—and my art—out into the world took courage. But that vulnerability is now my strength. It’s also the soul of Wallflower H&G: a reminder that quiet voices still have something beautiful to say.

I make each piece to help you give or keep something that lasts—whether it’s a tin anniversary keepsake, a memory for your home, or a gift that says what words can’t.

Thanks for being here. I hope you find something that speaks to you—and helps you discover the softer side of metal.
