When Kris Gaughran creates Keepsake Ornament. family always comes to mind. Sci-fi characters prompt thoughts of her husband and her brother (who are also fans.) Cute, sweet characters like penguins and fairies evoke happy memories of her sons and her nieces. “The biggest influences on my work,” she says, “are definitely the family I grew up with and the family I’m building now.”

May 1st was always a special day for Kris when she was little. Growing up in Osceola, Iowa, she and her best friend Susan would make May Day baskets together and deliver them up and down the street.

“We’d go collecting little wildflowers and make little baskets to put on front steps and porches,” Kris said.

“Mostly for people in our neighborhood, but for each other as well.”

She chose the daisy for the Friendly Fairies May version because it’s a classic, familiar flower that blooms right around that time of year. She settled on the fairy’s expression because, “I just wanted something sweet that would say, ‘Thinking of you.’”
