Whatcha Doin Tomorrow?
There are a lot of fun things, if I do say so myself. I have handmade and vintage/antique items in my booth.
Besides, my booth, I did get a sneak peek of some of the other booths. LOTS of awesome things. Seriously, you're missing out if you don't check this show out.
And I'm still cranking out stuff tonight. Just finished this one of a kind piece.

More Antiques and I Need Help With a "What is it?"

Being Busy, Antiques and Works in Progress
It's 2024! I looked back and I did a horrible job blogging in 2023. Probably my worst year. So what happened in 2023? Well, my mom passed away after a long battle with cancer. We all knew it was coming, but I wasn't ready. Not by a long shot. I still reach for the phone to call her daily, then remember I can't.
One of the things my mom and I liked to do together was go antiquing. We collected a lot of the same things, that led to many debates when we found something we both wanted. A lot of the time she won, telling me it would be mine later on. Well here we are, later on. These last few months, I have been slowly moving her antiques in and marrying them with mine. It's going to be a long process and I am going to part with many things. Some originally mine, some hers.
So I figured this would be a good time to get back into blogging, and record the process. There are a lot of items that are family heirlooms. I know some stories and some I don't. This will be a way to document things as I go along so they can be remembered.
I will also be posting items for sale on my website and blog as I decide what I'm parting with, so if you are also a collector, keep an eye out for more posts.
This first photo is of my entryway. All the items on the dry sink were either my finds or my moms. We love primitive treenware as you can see. Measures, pantry boxes, bowls and boxes.

Recent Works
This last piece I entered at gallery and it was picked to be in a show. If you are local and haven't been to the Brickwalk Gallery, make sure you take time to visit. They do some art classes from time to time, I'm hoping it works out for me to make it to some soon. They have a couple calls for some future shows, if you are interested in submitting check out their facebook page.

Still Making Cards...
I did some pretty simple designs, letting the cake be the focal point. I only colored the embellishments of the cake, covering the main parts with my Wink of Stella brush for a beautiful shimmer.

Yikes! It's been a while!
In conclusion, I'm going to try and post a little more regularly. I'll leave you with the link to a video I was able to get done in December. It is a process video showing how I turn old Christmas boxes into winter shadowboxes.
Until the next time!
