The Pieces at Anchor and Bloom Creations

At Anchor and Bloom Creations, every piece is a tiny treasure—handcrafted in resin and inspired by the love, loss, and light of life. From drifting dandelion seeds to delicate petals, feathers, and found bits of magic, each creation captures a moment meant to float, be held, and remembered.

Rooted in a love for nature, storytelling, and a touch of enchantment, my work is for the dreamers, the collectors of meaning, and those who believe in the beauty of small things. Whether it’s a charm, a keepsake, or a piece for your space, may it anchor your heart and let your spirit bloom.

Each piece is handmade and therefore, each piece is unique and special!

About the Creator, Holly

👋Hi, I’m Holly—the hands and heart behind Anchor and Bloom Creations. I started this journey in the middle of grief, looking for something to hold onto after losing my husband in 2024. What began as a way to quiet my spiraling mind turned into a creative practice that grounds me and helps me heal. I find beauty in the fleeting—petals, dandelion seeds, tiny moments—and through resin, I preserve them as reminders that even in sorrow, something meaningful can bloom. This shop is my quiet rebellion against the scroll, a space for memory, magic, and making. 

Why I Started Anchor and Bloom Creations

Working with resin became a way to anchor myself when everything else felt like it was drifting. I began to preserve tiny treasures—petals, seeds, little bits of beauty—and in doing so, I found moments of peace. What started as a way to keep my mind busy slowly grew into something more: a way to remember, to celebrate, to heal.

Anchor and Bloom Creations is about capturing the fleeting—wishes, memories, magic—and giving them a place to stay. Some of my pieces are light and whimsical. Others are rooted in loss and remembrance. But all of them come from the same place: the heart of someone who needed to keep going, and chose to create instead.

Why Resin?

I was drawn to resin because it does what I wish time could do—pause, preserve, protect. It holds onto fragile things like petals, feathers, and dandelion seeds, keeping them suspended in their moment of beauty. Working with resin became a way for me to honor what’s fleeting and find stillness in the process. It’s both delicate and durable, like the memories and emotions behind every piece I create. 

The Story Behind the Name: Anchor and Bloom Creations

Some things in life root us. Others lift us.

When I began working with resin, I was captivated by how it could preserve the delicate and fleeting—petals, feathers, dandelion seeds—as if time itself was pausing to hold onto a moment. It reminded me that even the softest, most magical things deserve to be kept, honored, and seen.

The name Anchor and Bloom Creations came to me as a reflection of that balance: the way we hold onto memories while still letting our hearts grow and drift toward new dreams. The anchor represents grounding, love, and stability—those meaningful things we carry with us no matter where life takes us. The bloom is everything that grows in light: hope, creativity, wonder, and the tiny treasures that remind us to look closer.

I’ve always been drawn to things that float—wishes on the wind, drifting thoughts, fleeting rainbows in the sky, the shimmer of wings. This space became my way of catching them. Anchor and Bloom Creations is more than a resin art studio—it’s a place for handmade keepsakes, for preserving magic, and for celebrating the quiet beauty that surrounds us every day.

The Heart Behind the Work

My daughters, Zoey and Carli, and my two dogs, Daisy and Benji, are constant sources of inspiration and light. Zoey’s curiosity, Carli’s imagination, and the joyful chaos of our pups remind me daily to notice the small wonders around me. Whether it’s a wildflower picked on a walk or a dandelion wish blown into the wind, so many of my designs are rooted in these everyday moments of love, laughter, and life with them. This little business of mine is a family story—full of heart, paws, petals, and play. We are local to Calaveras County, California.

"Dan"delions

Dandelions will always hold a special place in my heart—they were my husband Dan’s favorite flower. I love how they’re often overlooked, yet full of quiet strength and soft magic. They carry his name, his memory, and his spirit in every drifting seed. In my work, dandelions aren’t just a design—they’re a tribute, a wish, and a way to keep him close.
