This artwork is my mother's. It touches my heart.  

(So gentle.) 

A thoughtful depiction of something sweet, tiny, and cute.

(Way Cool) DIY Project

DIY 1920's Decorative Window (poster)

Vintage Window Art(1920's); Decorate 'as you wish.'

Crackled White Paint Patina (that I love); 1920 Window Art

A Decorative Valance of Vintage Napkins (they were folded and kept by my mother-in-law Barbara Powell :-) )

Add Any Decorative Items of Your Choice...

This was a $5.00 'find' at an antique fair rummage in Oshkosh, Wisconsin purchased 

the weekend of the (now famous) large antique 44th (!) annual car show in Iola, 
Wisconsin. Hang on study wire and hangers for a decorative reminder of 
better days gone by. Add vintage iron hooks to hang dried flower bunches or 
vintage lace or delicate vintage hand towels of your favorite fabric of the era from the bottom...Change the decorations to suit your fancy and for each holiday! 

Or line from behind with decorative vintage wallpaper for a sleeker,  

altogether different look.

Silver Woman

Asheville (NC) Mime

This wonderfully amazing woman was one of my all time favorite subjects 

to photograph. Take a good look at the fabric of her dress, the veins 

and wrinkles on her skin, her buttons...Her face is so smooth and beautiful!

People amaze me! What a delightful thing it was to encounter her in 
Asheville, North Carolina one hot summer afternoon. :-)

Pine Trees on Tin Bucket

I don't paint often (right now) but I did manage
to decorate a tin bucket with pine handles that I got at
a yard sale for $1.00. (what a deal, eh?! :-) ) I love painting,
I truly do, but with all of the housework that I carry as a load
I rarely get motivated and have the energy (at the same time)
to pull my painting things out and actually complete a project!
I am hoping to set up a utility room that we have so that
I can have my crafting/painting/ clay/fiber materials
and tools and projects handy to just walk in
and work on a project I have going at my whim.
That's the only way to go when trying to make use
of snippets of time! Here is a sample of my work
(however) that I did complete just last week, entitled
"3 Trees of Pine" (I am feeling a bit
Christmas-y this week, apparently...)
The trees here in the High Country always inspire
me due to their obvious personalities and their great beauty!
What do you love to do for a hobby or for
your own artistic funny bone,
I wonder....?!?
