Mermaids And Rocks

A big rock in the shop!

And one with a mermaid on it.

I also have a lovely stash of mirrors for gift giving at Holiday time.

Come on by! It's the calm before the storm......:) Do you see how on the map, Nantucket is the only part on the coast NOT in red?  I wonder if it will miss us! :):)

Mermaid Ornaments

These are some sea scallop shells that I have painted for Christmas ornaments.

They measure about 4 inches round.

My friend, Karen sends me the shells from Cape Cod as we only get the succulent bay scallops here on Nantucket.

These shells are so pretty and a pleasure to paint!

Thank you , Karen!

Here are some on display in the shop! They are $16.00 each plus shipping, and I will post them soon in the Etsy shop or you can give me a call at 508-332-9829 and order direct. :):)Thanks for looking!

Vacation

I am on vacation for a week . On Tuesday, I went to Little Compton Rhode Island. This is Briggs Beach. There were a lot of surfers out on this beautiful fall day!

I wasn't there to surf. I had other intentions :):)

A beach full of ROCKS!

I got Marty a pumpkin at Walker's Roadside Farm Stand. It has a little bakery, and all sorts of honey, berries, salsa and the like.

Then onto Mom and Dad's.

Mom makes beautiful flower arrangements from the hydreageas on their property. She is a great decorator as well!

Lovely! I spent all day putting their gardens to bed.

We took what was left of the garden flowers and made a nice center piece arrangement.

She made a garden salad from Provider Farm where they have a  CSA. Look at those georgous watermelon radishes and cauliflower!

Thanks Mom and Dad for a wonderful vacation! YUM!

Beautiful Bonnets

I would love to create some beautiful bonnets for the shop next year. 

 I found these images HERE

I love all of these patterns!

If you like bonnets, HERE is a chapeau pin board that is so lovely!

And what a lovely room to display them in. Thanks for looking!

End Of The Summer

Columbus Day Weekend signals the end of the Summer season here in Nantucket. It was a busy weekend with a lot of people stopping by the Farmers Market and shop!

Here are some of the things that I was working on this weekend. A clock made out of a wooden plate.( It still needs the clock parts attached.)

Molly came by and bought these!

Here is a jewelry box that is still in the works.

She is one of my favorite mermaids.:)

We picked some flowers and herbs from the garden. Still a few lingering!

New for  Springtime will be an assortment of lamps that I will fashion out of vases. This is a small one ....almost finished!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the market and the shop this year. You helped make it a successful Summer!Don't forget to stay in touch :):)     Now onto the Holidays!
