New items that I painted for the week!

I painted 5 old glass Mrs. Butterworth bottles. Two with the above green sunflower design. One with a blue dress and some whimisical flowers on the apron and two with my black and white chicken design. I also got 3 napkin/salt and pepper sets painted with my chicken design.
This is a great old leather suitcase I got painted with a Raggedy and Mammy on it. I have an old skelton key hanging from the handle.

This is an old leather brief case that I painted a cute bear family on.

New Items Painted for Spring....

Here are a couple of new items that I completed this weekend. I painted a great old suitcase and a Bear and Moose breadbox, I also have canisters and letter holders to match the breadbox. I am working on 5 old syrup bottles, 75 frog magnets, 2 stacking metal picnic/lunch containers with chicken's on them and a picnic basket with sunflowers and cows. These should all be done by the end of the week. They will all be at my spring show at Weber County Fairgrounds.

Here's some of my vintage Christmas decorations....

I love old Christmas decorations and thought I would share a few that I put up in my home. I have three pieces of a vintage, made in Italy, nativity set that my Mom had when I was little, sure wish I had the rest of the set and the manager that my Dad made! By my front door I have a pair of vintage light up Santa's that really remind me of my childhood. My tree is decorated with glass ornaments and the majority of them are vintage, the red tear drop shaped ornament was made in Germany it's about 5" long with a dent in the front. I found a set of old bells that I fell in love with, here is a picture of the gold one. The red striped ornament was mine was I was a little girl so I know it is 50+ years old.
This is the time of the year I really love but it is also the time of the year that I really miss my parents!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

I didn't get much painting done over the Holiday so I apologize for not posting any pictures! After tonight I will have all of my Christmas decorations up so I will be back to the art room tomorrow!

Done with my last show for this year.....

But I'm not done with painting! Starting tonight I will start painting for next years shows. All of my show this year had great sales I'm hoping for a great next year! I will post pictures of next years items weekly. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

I got my booth setup yesterday for my last show of the year. Attached are a few pictures of some of the items that I have painted. I always make sure I have new magnets for every show, here are some of my Christmas ones. I found an old pair of ice skates in their box, I put the skates and the front part of the box on to a wreath, added some spray glitter and a little greenery in the skates. I also painted a pair of black skates which hang on a wall and some great snowman cookie plates. Stop by my booth and check it out!
