Dolls

I un decorated my tree from the Festival of trees.

I didn't do a post this year on it

so here is a little surprise!

Some of the dolls that I made for it are now

 available in my online shop!

I don't use them just for ornaments.

I like to have them "hanging around" to keep me company all year long!

I made them out of papier mâche clay.

Then I added vintage and other little accents to

doll them up :)

Here is Light House Doll with her shell mini skirt.

Sankaty Light House.

Groovy yellow boots.

Ta da!

:)

Some of you saw my mermaid dolls and asked to purchase them

 after I took down the tree.

Here are a few!

I have 6 in all, and I will post the others this weekend.

This one is in my Etsy Mermaid shop.

Nice glittery tails.

She is holding the "The Old Mill", 

the oldest functioning mill in the country!

A fine mermaid to keep you company.

This pretty mermaid  is holding Brant Point Light House.

:)

This Chic chick has a nice little Nantucket souvenir.

A happy reminder of your trip to the Island.

Thanks for looking!

What's next?

Newness In The New Year

I am starting to paint furniture again.

It is difficult to feature it here on the Island because my shop is so tiny.

I have been painting small pieces.

And I painted the floor in the kitchen nook last year that was inspired

 by an Anthropologie photo shoot in Sweden.

I have been collecting more inspiration on my pinterest board,

 "Painted Furniture"

I will be sending off information to 

decorators on and off the Island.

I found this image HERE.

I hope to focus on Children's rooms which include

murals and reproduced paintings  as well as furniture.

I love this Josef Frank design.

I am working on some nifty Valentine's Day

 things for the online shop.

Stay tuned!

(Beautiful painted heart door found HERE.

Happy New Year!

I am having a relaxing day thinking of some New Year's resolutions.

I hope you are , too!

Maybe some new colors and patterns in the future.

On The 5th, 4th and 3rd Day Of Christmas....

Hello!

Another hand mirror for sale in the shop.

Lots of flowers around a purple vase with the same.

Inspiration, HERE!

I have 6 more to paint and that will be the last of these!

I think I may paint a black one next.

Like the background box below.

This pretty mermaid vase is also in the shop.

I just hooked up my BIG kiln and I can't wait to start making BIG pieces.

I will post pictures of the Christmas bowl that I made for Marty after Christmas.

Finally, on the 3rd day of Christmas, a subtle reminder.

Until tomorrow!

Cheers:)

On the 7th and 6th Days Of Christmas.....

Here are some little pebble necklaces that are now available in the online shop .

I found them on the beach in Coatue here in Nantucket.

It was my first time out and we had a wonderful time collecting with Katy and Michael.

We went on their boat from the harbor and floated over to the beach...and collected pebbles!

These are all about 1 to 1.5 inches.

Here is a pink lily.

Who doesn't like Lily-of-the-valley?

A happy whale :)

Another one!

Pretty pink flowers....for all ages.

Mr.Whale chillin' in a black polka dotted background.

A heart rock.

Now for the 7th day....

A 3" x 3" original painting on an easel.

Small enough to fit anywhere. Bright enough to make you smile :)

Thanks for looking.

Tomorrow is the last day to purchase for Christmas.

I hope your season is Jolly!

The 8th Day Of Christmas...

It's the Think Happy Be Happy Whale Print!

Also available as a 5 x 7 card in my Etsy Mermaid shop.

Onward!
