New Items....

Sorry I have posted for a couple of weeks! A great crafter friend, who retired 5 years ago, called me and sold me all of her old unpainted items. I got everything you can think of from cake carries, old oil cans, tea pots, coffee pots, it was great!! Down side I haven't posted pictures of the items I have painted, been busy going through everything I got from her.

I feel like old Mac Donalds farm with the pictures I am posting today! I have painted my chicken items for about 9 years now but I sell out of them at every show!

Here is a set of four wood canisters that have the plastic inserts in them for easy cleaning. They also have a circle in the lids so you can peak in and see what is inside.
I got two great wood breadboxes done.

I also finished two wood letter holders.

Cows, Cows, Cows.......I got 50 cow magnets painted. This is a new cow design for this year. Don't you think there just Moovelous!

I'm working on some great Sunflower items and some bear magnets, I'll post pictures of these over the weekend.

More new items......

I found this great wicker picnic basket at a yard sale last fall, thought I would finally get it painted for my spring show. I painted the basket a soft blue and then dry brushed it with white. On the lid I painted two groupings of beautiful spring flowers. This would be a great basket to sit by a chair and store your treasures in or use it for a great family picnic!

Chickens, chickens, chickens!!! I painted 50 of my chicken magnets yesterday!

I found this great little childs chair at the DI's the other day. I painted a fun whimiscal design on it. It has been coated 3 three coats of polyacrylic for durability.

I got my paper work all sent off for my Lamoille, Nv. (outside of Elko) show this weekend. This is a great one day show that I had real good success at last year. The show date is June 27th.

The Kottage Kupboard spring show at Weber County Fairgrounds is May 5-8th.

If you have a chance please join me at both shows for some great hand painted treasures!

More new items painted.....

This is a vintage metal stacking picnic tin. I have painted two of these with my chicken design. I wrapped the handle in some homespun black and tan checked material. The inside of each tin has been left natural so you can use them.

Here's two more of my magnet designs. I have 100 of these done!

This is a vintage picnic basket that I have painted a cute cow and sunflower design on. The handles and the inside of the basket is coverd by green and tan homespun material.

Stay tuned for more!!!!

A few more new items for spring shows....

Here's a few more vintage, glass, Mrs. Buttersworth bottles. I painted two of each of the above designs.

This is an old coffee pot that didn't have a lid for. I first painted it black and then covered the black base coat with blue. I sanded off some of the blue for an old look. On it I painted a sheep and some vines, it says "We do not remember days, we remember moments". In the top I added some spanish moss, a child size cup and saucer which is painted to match the coffee pot. Inside the cup is a battery powered flicker tea light.

I found this un-painted wood plate at the DI's the other day. I painted clouds, stars and a cute sleepy bear on it, I added a ribbon for hanging. This would be a great addition to any childs room.

Chairs that I painted for two of my Grandaughters for Christmas

I painted a vintage school chair for Hannah for Christmas. It is painted with a light pink base, darker pink and lavendar stripes and then I added some mauve lady bugs. I will paint more of these for my spring shows but the chairs will be different styles, but they will all be vintage school chairs ( I have a ton of these in my craft room).

I found a wood doll highchair at a thrift store two weeks before Christmas, I painted it for Beka and her babies. It's painted light pink with sparkles. I added flowers and a big lady bug. If I find anymore of these I will paint them up for my shows but I don't know if I'll find any.

The first part of next week I will add some pictures of new items I am finishing this weekend.

Have a very Merry Christmas!
