Homemade Wreaths

   For those of you that don't know, Creativity runs in the family.  Most of my children are artistic or creative in one way or another.  One is a painter, like me.  All of my daughters love to decorate.  One child loves to draw.  One's an accountant- that takes creativity, right? 
   These are wreaths that were made by two of my daughters.



Who said decorating had to be expensive?!?

To Brighten Your Day a Little

After making thousands of Santa's (or at least it feels like thousands), I took a little break and painted some beautiful flowers!  These will definitely brighten your day.  I have had several inquiries about these windows as Christmas gifts (men:  listen up).  If you mentioned you saw them on my blog you can have your choice for $89.00.

Something about this window makes me smile.  You just look at it and feel happy! 




This window would be beautiful in a Southern-Country style home. 
The colors are very calming.

It's Time to Start Decorating for Christmas

   I have been spending a lot of my time working on Christmas items.  My up-cycled, vintage Santa's are made from old quilts, curtains, tablecloths, and other fabrics.  They're then accessorized with vintage pins, broaches, ornaments, and other treasures.
   They can also be custom ordered using your choice of fabrics or colors.

What I've Been Working On Lately

This is new to me, so bare with me....

Hi!  I'm glad you've found my blog!  Those who know me know that I'm not very technologically savvy so please bare with me while I get the kinks worked out!!

I am a folk artist from North Florida, where I was born and raised.  I am known for painting on old windows, chairs, doors, tin, anything old ...you name it.  I love the thought of reusing, repurposing, and recycling old treasures.
