Well we did it!

Jackie and I opened an Etsy store. Not like I don't have enough to do with one store but this will be a fun venture with my daughter.

So here we are EclecticSpirit

This is one of our first items for sale. Drop by and visit our shop to see more.

Doing your Mother's Day Shopping???? Here's something nice. A lovely piece of porcelain art. China painted on a 1 1/2 inch porcelain pin. Wild roses. Available in my shop.

Opossum

Oh..........possum...........I have one under the addition to my house. You would not believe what I had to go through to get a trap. It seems that the county won't pick the animal up unless the Wildlife Service gives you a furbearing permit. Of course, no answer at the number. I left a message and then called back later and the mail box was full. uuuuuuuuugh The county won't pick up unless you have a permit. Its the chicken and the egg........so frustrated....finally got through today but I have to give the trap back Wed and you can't trap over the weekend........

enough of my frustrations....here's my feature. I was thinking I'm going on the cruise right so why not put Tropical Kitty up. I know she's silly but she's supposed to be. It was for the ACEO bounty challenge on Etsy. You should go and post in the promotions forum. Search for bounty. If you are the last one to post in a 24 hour period you win something like 70 ACEO's...some huge amount of cards....any way, she's available for sale...you know where, my Etsy shop

Chickens come to Roost!

I don't know why but today I wanted to feature a chicken...so here it is. This is a hot plate. You can put hot pots on it or you can hang it on the wall. Handpainted porcelain, china painted. Available on my Etsy site for $14.99

Good Morning......

Don't you just love this little face? It's one of my favorite porcelain pieces. It's available in my shop for $25.

So I'm going to try something.....for readers of this blog until April 25th, the first one who goes to my etsy store and convos me that you saw this Special Sale on my blogspot, the price will be $18. :) Do not buy it directly because I will have to reduce the price for you.

Have a wonderful day.................

I'm Cruising Soon....

...so my cruise to the Caribbean is May 1. I'm getting pretty darn excited about it. In 10 days I will be out to see. I love the ocean and I'm so looking forward to this trip.

Today because of my trip I'm featuring one of my art cards. It's of rough seas. Hopefully we won't hit too many rough seas! LOL You can find this card at my etsy store

Cottage Anyone?

Well it's a rainy, rainy day. So dreary. As one of my painting friends reminded me April showers bring May flowers! Hope so....with all this rain, we will get lots of them.

My daughter Jackie and I may open an etsy store...we are an eclectic bunch so hopefully soon we will start a venture - likely jewelry, photography, mosaics...I'm leaving the painting to my etsy shop.

So here's today's feature.

Do you like cottage style? I do. Just love the pink roses and romantic feeling of it. Today's feature is a vanity set. It comes with 2 footed perfume bottles and a lovely tray. The tray has luster (mother of pearl) around the edge. This would be a wonderful Mother's day gift! Available in my Etsy shop for $39.99
