New Items On My Selling Blog





Among our furry friends, cats are my favorite. Here are three that I painted on old rusted tin from and old barn in our area. They are pretty close to lifesize measuring from 14 to 15 inches tall. They are for sale on my selling blog.

December 1st Snow


Somehow I always get excited when we get our first fallen snow of the season, but that feeling doesn't take long to change.

Stay Warm!

MY NEW SIGN

I had this old beadboard panel sitting in the basement and promised myself to clean it up and paint something on it.
Well the day finally came and I decided I wanted to try my hand at painting an old trade sign.
Here are the results:




It now hangs very comfortably out in the carriage house.

Some Old and Some New Favorites

Three of my recently purchased favorites: An antique floor runner that I found for $22 was too ratty for the floor so I washed it and cut it to fit my little antique childs bed.
The Folk Art Box was made by someone out of an old fruit box. I found it at an anitue store for $20.
I almost walked right past the old bonnet at the antique mall. Something made me go back to check on something I'd just looked at and behold there it was for only $10

MY FABULOUS SWAP GOODIES

I consider myself very fortunate to be a part of our TDIPT group of sisters. Not only are they always there for each other, but their heart for giving is extra generous.

Today I received my Christmas swap package from Carol Roll of "Carol Roll Nostalgic Folk Art."

She is a super talented artist, whose folk art always puts a huge smile on my face.
If you are not familiar with her work it would be a worthwhile visit to her website.
The pictures just don't do her creations justice!

Thank You so very much Carol, I just love what you did for me.

Buds for life!
