SWEET NEW ARTIST!

Good Thursday evenin' to you all. What a better day I had at the shop today. The rain finally ended and people actually were out and about. I sold my favorite old green cupboard, hated to see it go, but that's business! Last night I tried my hand at my first bottle doll. She sure turned out prim!!! The picture makes her look like she had a really big head, but I think it was just the angle of the camera. Anyway, she was fun to experiment with. Our new artist, Terry, came today with a great load of goodies. Her things are just wonderful! (And she's bringing more tomorrow!) Lucky me. This little mouse pinkeep is on a spool, attached to a plate covered in sewing goodies.

Cute little Annie's done on small spindles.
More Annie's. The larger one is on a spring, as well as the heart. There is also little grapevine wreaths with Annie heads and an Annie garland. Really cute.
This little bunny, holding an egg, is also done on an old spring.
This bunny wreath is darling. It looks a lot more prim in person with the moss, eggs, ripped strips of homespun, etc.
One of my favorites has to be these tiny little mice peeking out of the old pink vintage shoes. So sweet!
Another cute creation is the mouse in the teacup. What a good little Mother's Day gift!
As you know, I love pinkeeps, so this is my other favorite! This little mouse on the spool of thread is just the best. I might have to bring one of these home with me for my collection.
Can't wait to see what else I get tomorrow! This was such a nice surprise and we talked about more things she is going to create for the shop.
It is so much fun when we actually have people coming in and are busy! Holly is an antique town, so we get people from all over coming to visit. I had a lady from Australia today. A gal from my class yesterday lived in Egypt for 14 years, that was really interesting too. I hope someday I'll get the chance to meets lots of you ladies!
Hubby has to work late tonight, so I guess I better get busy sewing for awhile. Have a great night and sleep tight...
