For someone who does not spend much time in the snow and ice, this frosty environment is magic for me…no matter where I turn.
It can be icicles dangling ominously from a gutter.
I might be a snow blower with the sun shining through the spraying snow.
There is beauty everywhere. Frozen berries on a bush or tree.
Barns standing proudly surrounded by a world of white. 
Every time I turn around I am amazed at how life goes on the snow! Hats off…or rather on, to everyone who lives here in The Winter Wonderland called Iowa City.

About daedre1
Studio Daedre is the result of an inspired woman following her artistic vision.
Daedre, the designer behind Studio Daedre, has always been happiest creating something (drawing, painting, knitting, cooking ... ). In middle school she discovered the medium of linoleum block prints. Soon there after she started designing her own hand carved linoleum print Christmas cards. Little did she know those cards would eventually evolve into her family owned enterprise of clean and sophisticated gift and stationery products.
Daedre began hand printing her own line of linoleum block print cards and stationery products. These linoleum prints have evolved into today's clean and sophisticated designs which offer a wider color palette and allow greater attention to detail, than her original designs. Each of her current designs are hand embellished pieces of art.
What started as a young girl's creative spirit and personal gifts to her friends has developed into a successful family run and operated business. Studio Daedre is committed to producing superior quality products with a unique handmade touch while reducing our environmental footprint. She has been honored multiple times for her creative excellence in the greeting card industry as a Louie Award Finalist.
Daedre currently lives in California with her husband and daughter and is planning to take her products to the next level.
