Spookfest on OFG Team


So today began the Spookfest for the Old Farmhouse Gathering Team. This is my entry. Click here to see it on Etsy. It's $20 and a large 8 1/2 inches high. Twenty little white lights bring it to life. Twenty two little ghosts fly about saying boooooo. Decorated with candy corn, polka dots and scrolls of orange yellow and white..........too darn cute. Wonderful Halloween decoration.

Nothing Makes Me Happier


Today's feature is one from my other shop Eclecticspirit.etsy.com. It is a greeting card.

Size: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch notecard with envelope.

Copy of original watercolor artwork by Joann Y Wheeler printed on matte half fold greeting card stock.

Inside: "Nothing makes me happier than you. Well maybe chocolate..."

We can all relate to that can't we. Click here to go to the item.

What to feature...


...can't decide....an ACEO or china perhaps........on my dilemmas........well I will just do china today and an ACEO tomorrow............or maybe a decorative painted piece...oh why can't I make a decision!

So this is a cute little china painted set. Three cup teapot, creamer and sugar and tray...........I don't have this on Etsy. I figure that the postage would not make it sellable so I'm going to either try to find a place locally to sell it or sell it at a craft show. I have another tea set I may put up at another time............
