Nostalgic Folk Art was born in 2004. I came up with Nostalgic Folk Art name for my paper mache figures because I love the older things that remind me of my childhood and of innocent times. They are figures of folks both childish and impish and I love vintage folk art so putting nostalgic with folk art was/is a perfect and fitting name for my lil figures and business. I feel so blessed and thankful to God for being able to make these little pieces and hope they make you smile.


Thank you for taking the time to visit!







And when your done visiting here, I'd love for you to check out my work on my etsy shop, www.etsy.com/shop/NostalgicFolkArt











The Best to you always!

Been in the antique mall

 for a year now  and am showing one reasone why i've not been able to make as many little imp figurines 

i took these pics last week and i've already redone the booth somewhat  and this monday i'm going to try and do a western Mexican pottery section   

if you are interested in anything you see   my booth is at Our Old Stuff in Holly Hill Florida

here are the pics of my little spot there 


 this is what you see when you enter my little room

 


 vintage brass bookends and a brutalist hand made candle holder  stone fruit and brass candlesticks are some of my favorite things.    i'm  in a brutalist phase right now    



love all vintage portraits   this is a self portrait with chalk pastels  it has such a crazy charm


some mid century items   the wood candle stick just sold   




a dutch tile table with vintage pottery and a unique pyrex coffee pot and clay cattail lamp


deco styled glass vases and a hand carved wood sculpture 



signed pottery  silver plate vase copper and brass bowl and signed glass paper weight on a shelf

brutalist pottery and wicker small ducks one rabbit



bitossi  paintings and  a bull     

 

those are just a small fraction of my items       i added a tulip table and lucite chairs the other day and am moving into a second spot in the mall    i'll try to add more pics like these in additon to my work

 

hope everyone has the best day!

finished this piece yesterday

 and just listed it on my Etsy shop.   For Easter  and i'm late as usual lately. 





so with my booth in the antique mall, which i'll take pics soon and post, i'm semi retired making these little creatures.  maybe one a month 2 would be a struggle, this was a request but who knows if she'll want it.     the weather is gorgeous and i'm ready to plant more and more, so much to do so little time.

My First Written Review/Kinda like your first dollar, I treasure this dearly

"Carol Roll is a relative new-comer, creating folk art for four years, now. Her paper mache figures reflect significant talent. At first glance, her angels, people, mermaids, and animals may appear cute and dear. At closer look, they are sophisticated, with detailed, expressive faces, each unique. Roll's work is anything but mass produced. It's the real deal. "
