Silver Birds

More of my bird portraits on silver trays.







Have a good day!

Birds on a Pedestal

As promised, following are pictures of my artwork that I took to The Glitter Market. These first pieces are a continuation of some gussied-up birds I did a couple of years ago. These ladies are already "framed" for their portrait!
Because of my pitiful blogging skills, and the problems I am having with my blog, I am going to post each series separately. Stay tuned....

Post Glitter Market

What a fun day we had Saturday at Paper Crown's Glitter Market! Thank you, Cindy, for putting this on! These first pictures are of mine and Brenda Little's table:

Brenda's Swan and my butterfly specimen

Looking down into some of Brenda's Terrariums

Next are pictures of some of the other vendors: Susan and Jill's delicious baked goods!

They saved the day for me...I was hosting my Book Club at my house on Sunday and bought their praline cookies, homemade Kit Kat Bars, and darling daisy sugar cookies to serve. They were all a HUGE hit!

Jemellia's cute aprons!
Donna Layton's packages of vintage wallpaper. LOVE!

Amy Baldwin's amazing mosaic artwork.

Spring Glitter Market

I am going to be at Paper Crown's Glitter Market this coming Saturday! I will be bringing a "sampling" of things I've been working on. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot. But, I will be sharing a table with my friend, Brenda Little, who will dazzle us all with her many creations! I can't wait to see what she has been up to!

Check out Paper Crown's blog this week, she will be posting about the other vendors that will be at the Market.
Hope to see you there!

The Old Mill

Several weeks ago, I went back to my home state, Arkansas, to visit my sisters and friends. Every time I go back, I have to go to The Old Mill! It is in North Little Rock, AR, in the middle of my former neighborhood, Lakewood. It is so beautiful!

Believe it or not, when I was a little girl, my friends and I would walk to The Old Mill and set up house. We would play for hours pretending it was our little castle and kingdom! haha At that time, is was a bit dilapidated, but still very magical. Now, the Parks Department has taken it over and keeps it clean and planted with beautiful flowers. It seems to be a popular place for weddings and prom pictures, as I witnessed while there.

The Old Mill's claim to fame is it is featured in the first scene of Gone With The Wind!

I promise you will be creatively inspired!

Under Construction

As you can see, I am re-designing my blog, with the help of my friend. Still have some kinks to work out. Plus, I'm going out-of-town. So, please be patient with me! It really is going to get better!

Thanks!

Texas Town

Last weekend I hopped aboard the train and went to Ft. Worth for Mom's Weekend with my daughter, Emma.

Here we are at the Friday Night dinner.

After a fun-filled weekend of shopping and eating out, I spent the next couple of days with my friend, Cherry. Of course, when I go to Cherry's house, there is always a project (or three). This time, she was dissatisfied with a pair of lamps in her Living Room. All it took was for me to mention they may need a color boost, and off we went to buy hot pink spray paint and new lampshades!

They turned out really cute!

Then, she got out her vintage floral paintings and we headed for her stairwell. She has been bugging me to help her hang these for, oh I'd say 7 years! We finally did it! Took approximately 20 minutes!

Unfortunately, the next day I was advised our professional (un) hanging job was insufficient. Three had already fallen off the wall and several others were teetering. Oh well, I guess she'll have to wait til I come back to re-hang these...I hope it's not another 7 years! At least the nails are already in the wall.
