Hi Donna,
I just wanted to pop in and wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, I won't be blogging much this week too busy.... Have a wonderful day, Kathy :)



I am delighted for you and know you will love the art print.
(Send me an email confirming your address, and I'll have it out to by early next week.)

See Y'all Soon!

~ Monday, Monday ....

It was the perfect weekend for Renninger's Extravaganza in Mt. Dora! In years past we had to bundle up a bit for the cool early mornings. But this year it was in the 80's and all you needed was water & some good sunblock. That's Florida.

Sweet Hubby and I had a great time. And best of all I got to meet up with my wonderful friend Kim of Daisy Cottage for a short visit. You just have to love this girl. She is so kind, sweet and beautiful, inside and out.

I didn't buy much this year. We left the truck at home which saved me from bringing home more things that I have no room for, like this beautiful old Dutch wardrobe.

Tomorrow I get to play queen for a day and get a crown, or two. Not on my head, but on my teeth. First time, so I'm just eager to get past it. I'll be back on Wed with the winner of the GiveAway for the Silhouette print. Then I'll get some pictures up on the blog of Renninger's and the Festival of Trees to share.

See Ya'll Soon!

~ Put On Your Red Santa Hat Baby! Abigail Bunny

.

Abigail Bunny Rabbit was not about to let Beau Bunny out do her. When she saw his authentic Santa hat, she sweet talked Santa into giving her a Red Santa Hat all her own. Now she's ready to go for a ride in that big sleigh.

She's in my Etsy shop as an Art Print.

See Y'All Soon!

~ Better With Age

Sometimes people,
like the beautiful objects pictured here,
get better with age.

Sometimes, they don't.
Thankfully we can choose which way to go.

Just a reminder that the Renninger's Extravaganza is this month in Mount Dora, FL.

~ November, Isn't It Lovely?

It is the most fabulous time of year for perfect weather .....
wish it would get way down here.

But Paris might not be too bad right now :)

A little bit of new art in the shop.

See Y'all Soon
with a new project or two.

~ Ceilings

Another beautiful painted surface on the ceiling.


See Y'all Soon!

~ Looking Up, Pretty Ceilings

The 5th Wall

The darker parts are wood or moldings, and the decorative middle area is painted. Beautiful work. This is not something I will ever attempt to do. I don't even like the chore of painting a simple coat of paint on a ceiling. But it was really gorgeous to see. I admire those decorative artists who do this type or work.

See Y'all Soon!
