Moveable Nostalgic Folk Art Sale

Well kinda cleaning out my studio and deciding on putting something on ebay, but not ready to put this on there yet.This is an old piece dated 6/10/07 of a paper mache mixed media figure of 3 lil ones trick or treating on some dangerous grounds and not heading the signs the witch has posted. The witch moves around by the stick I have nailed on. The totem pole of pumpkins is super charming as each one has a unique expression, some have old fake teeth in them as well (not real teeth just some fake ones from an old dental sales kit). It is pretty heavy. I had it on my old website but it was so so hard to show multiple pics on my old website I took it down and didnt add it on my new site. I think I might of put this on the TDIPT Mercantile when I first joined. Anyway its a cutie but it is time for it to find a good home and not just sit in my studio. It's approx 15"
by 13" I took pics but didnt think to dust this oldie but goodie so you can see the dust. Please contact me if your interested in purchasing. $350.00 which will include priority insured shipping.

Welcome Archie

We have a new baby Boston Terrier in our home today and his name is Archie. He is 2lbs and 6 oz. of pure sweetness!
I'm soooooooooooooo tired already as our beloved Henry is not pleased with this new additon at all. And so I have been trying to show Henry he is still our baby and also make Archie feel safe and loved in his new home. I know eventually Henry will accept him completely. Right now he is pouting in his kennel. Poor tender hearted Henry.
Here is a picture we took of Henry as soon as we came in the door and brought Archie home. Poor Henry ran and "hid" under the bar stools. I have never seen him look like this, almost as if to say, How long is that staying. Look at his ears they are back so far they are almost touching.


Archie is sleeping on my lap as he has had a heck of a day so far. Playing ,eating ,pooping and trying to keep away from Henry. Even when sleeping he has one bulgy eye open and watching Henry. Henry is a sweetheart and knows he is a puppy but it is clear he is not quite as enchanted as Dan and I are. For so long he was the only pebble on the beach.You know its true that you can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink.


Tee came by to see lil Archie and man did she fall for his funny face and bowed legs.



There is nothing like a baby animal. Just precious and sweet and soft.

Its Begining To Look Alot Like Christmas!

I bet a million blogs have opened up with that line! giggle oh well, this past weekend spent some time decorating for Christmas and listening to holiday music. It will be a toned down gift giving but as you can see I have enough stuff and have no desire for more. Well unless its a vintage Boston Terrier item or antique ornie.
Here are just a few pics that somewhat came out clear of some of our home Christmas decour. Unfortunately I'm too lazy to retake more.

Here is one of my older Nostalgic Folk Art santa's amoungst a collection of new and antique bottle brush trees


On our windowsill some vintage plastic santa and snowmen things with a Nostalgic Folk Art angel who didnt sell on ebay with some fun stuff.


Just an area in our tv room. Kinda overwhelming but I'm not quite the hoarder yet.


This year is going to be extra special as we are welcoming a new lil brother for Henry. His name is Archie and he will be home with us on the 13th. I have begun nesting for him and have gotten him a crate, puppy food, toys, bowl and a tiny winter coat. Eat your heart out Peanut!!!! Will you be his Godmother? giggle
Pictures will be forthcoming of course!
This is an extremely busy time for us so it will be awhile before I will update my blog so I am wishing everyone the best holiday possible!
