Yes, December is here. The days are shorter and cooler (turtleneck and fleece weather), the sun sets earlier and time is marching on towards Christmas. I don't know about you but my decorating and shopping are already behind. We'll all get there though.
This week I've tried to do pictures of a wide variety of things, basically something for everyone. The first picture is of a miniature portrait from an estate sale in Virginia. The portrait is on vellum and signed by the painter, Weiss. It is mounted in an enclosed frame and can be worn as a pendant or a pin. The whole thing is only 2" x 1.5". Isn't she beautiful?
$300
Flower frogs. Don't know whether the one situated in the bowl came like that origionally or it just fits together nicely. That is the way we found it.
Fishing Lures
Vintage beaded wool sweater.
Vintage Fabric remnants. Some seem to be from old flour sacks.
Lots of old linens. Some are in perfect shape while others have great lace that could be used on other projects.Tree Ideas Again
An old quilt for a tree skirt.
Hang toys as ornaments.**************
You know we have a weakness for metal furniture. Just this week Charlie bought this chair. Needs paint but is structurally sound.
Project update: Charlie is still working on this cabinet. The top had some issues which he has mended and now the final sanding will begin.
This table and stool are works in progress as well. Stay tuned - I never know how things will turn out!
