BEAUTIFUL DAY CREATIONS & COLLECTIBLES, Lancaster PA -

Beautiful Day Creations & Collectibles is a collective effort between Melanie and her mother Andie. It is actually a combination of Beautiful Day (photographic cards & prints), Goodman Creations (art cards, stickers, jewelery), Serendipity (collectibles) & new additions such as Embroidery by Mercedes.

Shortly after Melanie’s Dad died, Melanie asked Andie what she thought of a creative idea allowing mother & daughter to spend special time together, moving forward from Jeff's death.  Sharing their mutual love of photography by hand crafting cards & participating together on seasonal afternoons at community block parties in Historic Downtown Lancaster. These days became a way to place aside sad, difficult moments to share beauty & creativity with each other, along with new friends met at each community event. They became Beautiful Days! They now include Andie's husband Ed, who helps out with craft fairs &  events.

Evolving from original photographic greeting cards, they inspire each other to create unusual and lovely imagery for magnets, bookmarks and as matted prints to hang in the home or office environment. Together they also enhance memories of your special events with premier photographic imagery & restoration of vintage photographs.

Melanie, Andie & Ed truly hope you enjoy their collection showcasing the diverse shapes and colors of their combined creativity!
