Pictures from my Lamoille, Nv. show, and a Halloween sneek peek!

Here is a picture of my booth that I had on Sunday (June 27th) in Lamoille, Nv. (20 miles outside of Elko). This is my second year doing the show, had a GREAT time! I've done shows for 24 years now and this is the first show that boy scouts unload your trailer, haul it to your booth space and even setup your canopy! Even with the economy the way it is my sales were great.

I painted some great time out chairs with a not so happy bear on it. These are old wood school chairs which makes them very durable.

Everyone seems to love the bear and moose design I came up with last year. Here is a bread box, set of canisters and a letter holder.

Had to show you this beautiful picture! After setup on Saturday we went for a drive up Lamoille canyon. This canyon is soooo beautiful. Waterfalls coming down every where and the entire valley is full of beaver ponds. Would you believe there is even a glacier up there! If you ever want to take a beautiful drive and your in Nv. you need to go up this canyon.

Here is a sneek peek of some Halloween stacking pumpkins that I painted up. I will start displaying my Halloween at The River Arts Festival in Green River, Wy. Aug. 20th & 21st. Stayed tuned for more Halloween pictures coming in the next few weeks.

Rooster's

I've painted some great Rooster items for my show in Elko June 27th. The above picture is on a vintage tin plate and comes with the holder for the plate.

This are two great vintage coffee/tea pots that would look wonderful in any home.

This is a close up but it's blurry.....sorry!

Here's two great old gas cans, one has ridges and the other is smooth.

I'll try to post more often......I get so busy painting I forget to post pictures!

My Booth at Kottage Kupboard

My first show of the year is in progress at The Kottage Kupboard at Weber County Fairgrounds, Ogden Ut. The show runs thru Saturday at 4:00. Here is a picture of my booth, it is at the end of the first row when you come into the building.

This is a great little vintage vanity chair that I have painted a cute little rabbit on.

This is another view of my booth. The milk can with buckets on top is covered with the magnets that I paint.

This is a great vintage wooden chair that I restained and then painted three lillies on. It has several coats of varnish on for durability.

Stop on by and find some great items for Mom!

It's Raggedy Time!!!

I found this GREAT old highchair at a yard sale a few weeks ago and decided to paint Raggedy Ann and Andy on it. I based it in a red color and then a beige color. I sanded it here and there so some of the red shows through. I then painted Raggedy Ann, Andy and a teddy bear on the seat. This highchair does not have a tray but it is still a great item!

This is a round suitcase (not very old) that I painted the same Raggedy Ann and Andy design on. I added a red bow to Raggedy Ann and also to the handle. What a cute place to hide some of your sewing items or for your daughter to hide some of her doll clothes in.

This is a great vintage suitcase with great insides! Most vintage suitcases you find have water damage inside or smell musty but this one does not! I added Raggedy Ann, Andy and teddy to the front.

All three items have several coats of a polyacrylic clear coat finish for added durability.

All three of these items will be at the Kottage Kupboard, Weber County Fairgrounds, next week.

Here's a few more items that I have painted...1st show is in 3 weeks!

This is either a short bread box or a wood lap desk/storage box, it is solid wood with a hinged lid. I re-stained it and then painted two great little teddy bears on the lid. The back is around 8" tall and it tapers down to around 4" in the front.

Here is another vintage tin plate that I painted a rock cottage on. This is a special order so it will not be at my first show, but I will have others there for sale.

This is a recycled wood welcome sign from years past. I repainted the entire sign giving it a lot more character. This would look great hanging by your front door!

I'm sorry I haven't posted more pictures, with my first show just 3 weeks away and I have diligently painting!

Make sure you come and check out my booth at the Kottage Kupboard, Weber County Fairgrounds, Ogden Utah, May 5th - 8th.

New Items Painted......

I painted another great cottage design on two vintage tin plates. This one has a garden path going through a gate up to a very quaint little cottage. Sorry about the glare in the picture, I like to take these pictures outside but yesterday it was snowing!

This is a great heart shaped pink purse that I painted a very cute teddy bear on!

I found this great watering can, base coated it in blue, added some crackle and painted some flowers and blue berries on it. I added some greenery to it to make it a great table decoration.

New Items........

I painted three vintage tin plates with this great cottage design on them. One plate was a special order but the other two will be at my spring show. I am working on 4 more plates, two with a different cottage and two with a great rooster on them. I will post pictures as soon as they are done.

This is a great white bread box with some tea stained lace on the handle. I added a small vintage frame to the front that says "Faith". This would be a great addition to any kitchen!

This is a vintage roll top bread box that I painted a great blue color and then distressed it. I added a sheep, three salt box houses and a flag that says "Remember". This is a smaller bread box that would fit great on any size counter.

Hope that everyone has a great Easter weekend, it's snowing here!!
