About me
Who makes Wallflower Home & Garden?
Hi, I'm Sharon—maker, mom of five, and founder of Wallflower H&G.
I work with old tin containers and rusty tinplate, transforming them into something soft and beautiful. What began as a love of quilting grew into a passion for tin — translating the textures, layers, and patchwork I loved in fabric into metal.
As a true introvert, putting myself on display has never been easy. Instead of hiding that part of me, I embraced it. That became the inspiration for my business name and message: Wallflower.
I don’t hide the past lives of my materials either. Each piece of tin carries its own story, and I build on it — cutting, filing, and stamping one punch at a time to create a handmade original.
My work has a nostalgic feel — simple, uplifting, full of dimension, texture, and sparkle. Customers often tell me they’ve never seen anything like it before. Many say it reminds them of someone or something they love. That connection is what matters most to me.
At the heart of Wallflower H&G is the desire to create pieces with meaning, pieces that invite people to see beauty in the unexpected.
Thanks for being here. I hope you find something that speaks to you—and helps you discover the softer side of metal.
