Teeny Teaser 3

Inspiration for my 2010 ornaments ... found at a site called http://www.scrappybitznbobz.com.au/ which seems to be malfunctioning.

Boo hoo, because it was a really cute place!

These are the 3 colors I've chosen for my 2010 ornaments: dusty rose, subdued lime and elegant aqua. Now, do these say "retro" to you? I sure hope so!

Here's a peek at the tag for my 2010 ornaments! I'm so excited about these, and I can't wait to share them with you. They will be unveiled later this month...

stay tuned!

Hot Off the Hook

Why yes I AM a little obsessed with stars these days! There are the upcycled star sets, the baby's first ecofriendly stars , and the primitive stars I am making from the antique rag balls.

Then, we have these little numbers- sweet cotton twinklers sold in sets of 6. They are the perfect handmade gift for anyone on your list! Not only do they look lovely tied atop a special package, but they are priceless for those pesky weak-branched bald spots on your own Christmas tree.

The *traditional* collection

The *cottage* collection



The *classic* collection

Do you have a favorite? Can you think of another collection that I should add? All thoughts are welcome- I just LOVE making these little guys!

Primitives Live!

I have trouble pigeonholing my work into any specific category, but if pressed to do so, I would think that it would be primitive folk art. Or maybe shabby chic style. Or maybe cottage eclectica. Heck, why don't I go all out and call it primitive shabby chic cottage folk art & eclectica? Eh, too long.

Whatever you call my style of work, it can now be found on page 2 of the *primitive* gift guide on Etsy. This is a newer gift guide, geared toward hot trends, and I am proud as a peacock to have my upcycled ornaments included in the collection.

The gift guides are somewhat of a mystery; you never know when you have had an item included, and if you find out, you never know who chose you to be there or why. Well, you know someone in admin chose you, and you hope it's because something about your work caught their eye. At any rate, it's a huge honor, and I intend to savor it while it lasts!

Those red gingham ornaments are a one of a kind set, so once they are gone, so is my place in that gift guide. I'll be a little sad about that, but I do hope someone gives them a nice home for the holidays :)
