Since I was painting this week, I whipped up a few signs while I had my paint clothes on.
this is on an old door panel. Its in the Boutique now, for $25 plus shipping. I used to crank these out non-stop, they were always a good item to have in my booth back in the days when I sold antiques. Now, I don't make them very often. I kind of miss painting... But I do get to paint with Sugarwings now and then.
Sterling Silver and Crystal earrings $19
I don't know if you remember my big talk about getting my Boutique up to date a while back? Well.... I tried.
I added quite a bit, and did it a few days in a row! I was patting myself on the back for getting back to business, but then got sidetracked with painting shutters and the breezeway, and all sorts of other little projects. (photos coming this weekend)
Crystal and rhinestone bracelet $20
Its very nice, though, that most of all the new goods sold before I could even tell you about them!! What a wonderful feeling.
Ephemera covered tag book (8 x 4") $18
Here are some of the goodies that are still available.This tag book is filled with lots of ehemera treats.
There are a few more pretties too, and honestly, I have a giant Rubbermaid tub by the door filled with things I am waiting to take pictures of. I need to get moving.
As Willy Wonka says, "So much time, so little to do. Strike that, reverse it"
Thank you all so much for still shopping with me, even though I've not been very good at keeping things fresh and new for you. There are still lots of "staples" in the store. When I listed papers, charlottes, and millinery, I made up tons of each, so they would be in stock a while.
And I do promise to add more.
Soon.
Maybe.
And thanks also for all the dress form love!!! Wow, I'm thrilled at the way this online class is still selling. I appreciate your interest in the class and all of the questions about the availabilty of kits. I have a million pretty things to make kits of. But, haven't gotten around to making them.
I used to be so much more on top of things. I don't know where the time goes anymore.
This picture could explain some of it. These two little sprites wear out us old people!
Today, I made a Halloween style dress form for all of you who have signed up for the classes, as a thanks.
I hope to add the witchy woman to the boutique too. As a matter of fact, I'm going to go and do that now.
If you are interested in purchasing the dress form class, here are the details.
You still run circles around me Karla! Your roses are lovely, you should do more painting. I used to do a lot of tole painting also, must get back to that, um, some day!

Don't feel bad about wondering where the time goes. I'm still looking for it. Well, I guess I feel bad too. I keep telling myself it is what it is...

I am right there with you, Karla. I have a HUMUNGO pile of stuff sitting in the dining room to photograph and list! This is separate from the one upstairs -- ARGH! Wow, the dress form Halloween girl is scary! I'm almost afraid to see the witch! Very Halloween-y!
