My Favorite Christmas Gift.....

Just wanted to share one of my favorite gifts I received this year for Christmas :) My sister made me this precious little girl in the sweetest winter coat. She stands on a beautiful vintage ornament and holds a little poinsettia wand - how cute!!!!!



She said she didn't want to part with the amazing pin, but I'm glad she did because it tops off the piece just perfect :)

It was a success....

WOW! We finally have a moment to post pictures of our open house :) You know what they say - better late than never. That seems to be the story of my life - LOL! It was a great success and we had a blast setting up. It was a real pleasure seeing all our loyal followers and all the new faces. Here are some pics, there's quite a few so have fun scrolling :)


In the above two photos are great examples of Ellen Ward's folk art pieces. She is such a talented painter and I'm soooo glad I own a few of her pieces. My sister bought me the goose decoy for Christmas - such a great sis ;)


Above is my favorite little guy I made. He has the warmest Christmas feeling in his smile.





In the above picture, you can see the wonderful beaded trees by Cindy Lubkeman. They were sold before she even put them out - everyone LOVED them!


Here are a few of the pieces made by Myko Bocek (above photo). Her pieces have the cutest whimsical feel.




And above is the felted owl made by Ebony Atelier. He is the sweetest thing and everyone wanted to buy him. He went home with one lucky buyer :)




Above is one of my favorite fairies my sister made - she's just so sweet sitting on her little mushroom <3




We always have a great time doing these open houses and we especially love to get together with all of our artist friends to displaying our talent for people to enjoy. We want to thank again, all of the artist that participated and we look forward to doing it again. Look for a fun event in the spring!!!!!

Sneak Peek....

Here's a sneak peek of what's making it's way to the open house :) I'm almost finished with the little boy. It gets harder and harder to let go of these little cuties. I want to keep them all, but I think I'll let someone else enjoy them - if I have to ;)


The little girl you see here has these beautiful real butterfly wings that I glitter oh so slightly, and she will sit on these great vintage ornaments - I love it! I can't wait to finish her.
See you all soon!

Almost Here....

The Annual Holiday Open House is almost here!



The invites went out and we're getting ready. I'm so excited I can decorate for the holidays really early this year - yah! Some of the artists work that will be exhibited along with our own is

Cindy Lubkeman....

She makes these beautiful beaded trees and decorates them like every child's dream. Who wouldn't want to wake up and run to a tree where underneath is full of presents like this one - I know I would :) It's hard to capture how neat these trees are - I love them!

Ellen Ward....


She is a fantastic folk art painter. Her work is extremely beautiful and very detailed. Every fireplace needs one (or 2) of these to adorn it at Christmas time :)

We are definitely looking forward to having all of these talented artist at our event. Hope to see you there!
