Nantucket Souvenirs

Hello. I made these from bay scallop shells that I found on the beach.

I made a wee mermaid out of clay, glazed and fired it.

Here are a bunch of them. Little Nantucket souvenirs!

I added buttons to some and shells to others.Buttons are made of shells, you know.:)

Et Voila! All available in the shop on 4 Fair Street right here in Nantucket.

And here is a lovely link!

Hand Painted Canisters

Good Morning!

I've been busy.

Here are some pretty canisters that are new to the shop.

Rose and yellow....my favorite colors!

Blue and turquoise are pretty popular colors here on the Island.

I still like to get a bit of cheery yellow in there.

More coming your way this week!

Thanks for looking....:)

Pretty Hand Painted Blue And White table

I finished painting this blue and white table just the other day.

I painted it with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and did the designs in acrylic paint.

Then I put two coats of Annie Sloan clear wax on it. I have to say that I like paste wax better....the kind that I used on my floor.But this worked fine....just takes a long time to dry.

It's finished!You can see my pink sneakers in this last photo....Spring is here and time to ride the bike to work! YAY!

Thanks for looking!

I love these and I wish I could get them reproduced as they take so long to paint.

I will work on that.
