Nantucket Santa's Workshop

Hello hello....Here is what I've been up to. Ornaments for Susu's Bakery. Profit for these horse ornaments go to BINA Farm.

And for the Hub.That was Monday.

Tuesday....an order for Abby Fox left the shop.

Tuesday and Wednesday....DOLLS! 30 Wildflowers of Nantucket dolls for my Festival of Trees offering.

The common name of the flower followed by the Latin name.

I used bits and bobs that I had stashed away for years.

And here is the finished tree! Off to the big party tonight! :)

Happy Shopping!

Now that Thanksgiving is over, it's time for more holiday celebrations and gift giving.

I have some pretty boxes in my ETSY shop. Go take a look!

I have some lovely pottery at the shop on 4 Fair Street.

Another ceramic box for $24.00. 

I hope that you will stop by for a visit or give me a call if you'd like something special.

My best selling 100% cotton onesie with a whale . You can order it with or without "Nantucket" on it for $15.00!

I love this wooden plate that I will make into a clock.  $85.00....something for everyone!Thank you for looking and stay safe if you are on the road, and have some fun shopping online in your PJs:):)

Pinning Love

One nice thing about the 2  1/4 hour boat ride to the main land from Nantucket Island is that I can spend the whole time PINNING! I love it! So here are a few things that I pinned on my trip to Mom and Dad's for Thanksgiving. Here is a wonderful Liberty of London cushion with an antique doily. Pretty!

I love this setting for breakfast in bed!

I love cute things :)

And pretty things!

And YUMMY things!

I think that I have the best "Favorite Recipes" board, if I may say so myself. I probably won't make a thing, but everything looks so beautiful that I can't help but pin.

Soon it will be Christmas. This is a lovely and simple tree. I love the basket...:)

Well the big secret that I was going to tell  is that we (finally) moved to a bigger place on Nantucket...YAY! That means a big new studio for me and I can get my big kiln out of storage. And that means I can make ceramic platters and big bowls. Won't that be FUN!

A great holiday  wish to all of you who celebrate Thanksgiving.

And thanks for looking!

:):)

Happy Weekend!

The weekend is finally here! I have a surprise for you on Monday :):)  

Until then, enjoy this lovely, inspiring blog...TTFN!

A Partridge In A Pear Tree

I drew this 4 years ago and never used it. This year, it will become a Christmas card after I color it in. A partridge in  a pear tree...:):)

Nantucket Festival Of Wreaths

Every year I donate a wreath to the Whaling Museum for the Festival of Wreaths.

Here is my wreath this year. I got a nice fat rope and attached it to a wooden wreath form. Then I added some greens. I got some vintage tinsel from Milly and Grace and put that on the inside edge.A sultry mermaid on one side.

I made her out of papier mache clay.

Then I added some embellishments :)

Then I made a Nantucket pirate for the other side. He is holding an anchor.He looks a little like a chipmunk with it's mouth full of food...Cute!  He's a cute  Nantucket pirate!

Styling with those fancy whale pants for the holidays.

Here is the completed wreath with a whale on the bottom spouting season's greetings your way!
