Oh to be in England

I love England and have been their twice. I have participated in a couple swap. I put these little scenes together (the tea table didn't fit in the box) showing off things I think about when I think of England. The Queen, of course, with her regal robe; tea, silver, jam, the Beatles. The little table is all ready for tea. Enjoy

Roosters

Recently I was surfing the web and found reference to "Rooster Day" or something like that. Well, I can't find the site any more, but I did take pictures of my two favorite roosters. I painted both of them. If anyone viewing this post knows of the site that had a Rooster Day recently, please let me know.

Little ole furniture maker

I have been going to quarter inch scale and having a hard time finding furniture that I really liked. After seeing some similar to this, I tried my hand at making my own. Covering is felt on the light blue and red in the background. The others are stiffened cotton. The cotton ones use bunka for trim. They are sitting on a 12x12 book of scrap booking paper.

Happy 4th of July

Today is the 4th of July and although I am a little late posting an image for the 4th, this has been up in my living room since Flag Day. The picture is of my son, serving in Afghanistan. This small shoe piece with Army helicopter and vehicles was an assemblage piece made in a Mixed Media Class.

Raggedy Kingdom For Sale

I've started an offshoot of this blog. As my followers know, I am a collector and most collectors 'collect too much'. I am in that shape and I am 'fine tuning' my collections. If you are interested in finding previously loved items at reasonable costs, please check out this blog.

Consignment Shops - I love them!!!

I love consignment shops. I am always amazed at what you can find and the ever changing environment of consignment shops. I have been doing swaps for a long time and had a collection of clothing. Thought about doing a mini closet, but couldn't warm up to that idea and then it came to me. How about a mini consignment shop. Enjoy.
