Thanks for shopping with me today, and make sure you check out the other locations that Phyllis will have listed. My friend, Beth, has some great stuff to check out too.
We all appreciate you buying HANDMADE!!
I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving yesterday, like I did. We had a wonderful family day, and I didn’t have to cook it!! I made fudge (my specialty) and noodles, then brought the wine and pop. How easy is that????? A first for me, and I could easily make it a habit.
Aren’t Sugarwings and her Hippie Chick mom some of the prettiest things you’ve ever seen? My son is a lucky man to have them as his family. 
I’m thankful he has added them to our family.
OK, I am off to go paint ornaments. I’ll add some soon. This will be a loooong post.You’re used to that from me!
(Don’t forget about the party on the 12th.)
LATER: I have been painting a few ornaments in my breaks from making price tags for my upcoming sale here in the studio. Here are the newest, still wet ornaments.
Well, not the prettiest display to show them on, is it?
Upside down egg cartons work well for a drying rack
.
I just painted 3 balls with butterflies and 7 mini ones with a tiny rose.
The small ones are only $5 each, but I’m afraid the same shipping applies.
But remember, the shipping is discounted with mulitple orders!
I’m off to paint more and will add them when they are done.
MORE!
Here are a few more ornaments. 3 rose topiaries and one rose bouquet.
What am I working on now? Cupcakes! But they are still wet and arent’ glittered yet.
UPDATE:
I’ve had a nice day. Made some pasta, watched some Tivo (30 Rock and House, not a bad way to spend an hour) and then painted a few more balls.
I’ve had some special orders to fill, which I enjoy, and got a few ornies painted for my gift shop this week.
All of these will be available until my gift shop opens on Friday. If you see one you need, let me know. I can do special orders on Saturday too, but after that, I won’t have time till my sale and open house are over.
Thanks, Phyllis, this was fun!
Bluebird charm!!! And the blue earrings!!! For me!!!
Sugarwing’s mom is just a doll!!!
Oh such beautiful things! I wish I had an unlimited budget! If the green earrings on the far right are still available, I’d love to buy them.
Well, I knew Sugarwing’s mom must be pretty!
So many wonderful things and your family is beautiful.
Thanksgiving…two turkeys, one roasted one deep fried. The roasted was a back up in case the deep frying didn’t work…now that was a bit scary. They were both good and now we have tons of turkey!

Received the handpainted snowmen ornaments… they have “come to life” on the tree. They helped complete our snowman theme. Your attention to detail & lively personality – make us smile. The glitter so sprinkled, the cheeks so rosey, the mouths so merry. Thanks much!!
