New Santa Candlesticks!!!!!


Well I finally got to paint some different things I have been wanting to do for awhile. I found these large wooden spools a few month's ago at an antique store that I shop at. I knew as soon as I saw them what I wanted to paint on them. I love to paint Santa's. I also had this large potato masher and a small masher that I bought in my travels to antique stores and flea markets. I have a few more potato mashers that I want to paint. The rest of the week I have to work on orders for trees. I have some decorating done in the house but I don't have my trees up yet. I hope this week to get that done. I like to get my trees up right after Thanksgiving because it's so much work and I want time to enjoy them. I hope you all have a great week!!! The Santa candlesticks are listed on ebay. Thanks for stopping by!!!

New Snowman Cardinal Tree!!!







Here is another new snowman tree I have been working on. I call this my snowman cardinal tree. I put an 18 inch tree in a metal bucket. After the painting was done on the pail and the round snowman faces on the tree I sprinkled them with lots of glamour dust. Got to love that glitter!!! I love they way it looks at night when the tree is lit up and it all sparkles. This tree is also listed on Ebay. I have a busy day today I have to do my shopping  for Thanksgiving dinner or nobody will eat!!! I hope you all have a great Monday!!

Here is a new tree I finished for all you saltbox lovers. The 18 inch tree is in a hand painted wooden caddy. I painted this original design with saltbox houses and snowmen. It's listed on Ebay!!

Trees For My Craft Show!!!

It's been a long time since I posted anything. I have been so busy with special orders and getting ready for the craft show. I'm posting a picture of part of my table at the show. It's not that great because I took it with my phone. I sold quite a few trees but not as much as I would of liked to. It's hard to compete with knock off hand bags and jewelry. It's really ashame what has happened to the craft shows in the last few years. I'll be posting some snowman and ginger trees today on Ebay. I hope you all have a wonderful day!!!

New Gingerbread Tree!!!!!!!







It's been such a long time since I have posted anything. I have been so busy painting and making trees these last few weeks. I have a craft show on Nov. 19th and I'm trying to get things made. I just don't seem to get ahead of the game. Today I listed one of my Gingerbread trees on Ebay. This is a 24 inch tree. I put it in one of my finds at the antique store. It's a white enamel sauce pan with red trim and a red handle. It has hand painted salt dough ornaments and lots of utensils and candy canes and little cakes. The entire tree measures 27 inches tall. Well it's back to work for me. Thanks for stopping by to visit!!!!
