Berry Goodness, almost Autumn and Ghoultide Gathering!

I wanted to share the delicious get well gift from from my Dad and Carole!

A beautiful arrangement from Edible Arrangements!

Doesn't it look lucious!

Yummy!!!!

Besides the lovely fresh fruit arrangement in a vase, there was a

separate box on the side with Ooolala ...

chocolate dipped Strawberries, bananas and apples!

Talk about a feast for the pallette and the eyes! Everything was so sweet and delicious!!

Thank you SOOO much for my special treat! I absolutely loved it!! :-)

Can you believe that Autumn is only a few days away?!

This little pumpkin can't believe it either! What What?!

I've been out of commission for several weeks with pneumonia (bummer)

 but am slowly getting 

back into the swing of things, and am working on having a 

Halloween piece ready for the Sept Ehag Emporium on the 30th, 

so stay tuned and cross your fingers!

Oh! And wish I could be there but,

 if you happen to be in Chelsea, Michigan on Sept 28th, be sure

and stop in to the Ghoultide Gathering, which is a fabulous show with many of my

artist friends, the top Halloween Folk Artists in the country! 

Also, on the West Coast is the

Halloween and Vine Show, in Petaluma, CA on the same day!

WhooEeee! Amazing artists abound! :-)

None of the new fangled horror stuff, but lots of 

old fashioned and light hearted Halloween goodness in the tradition of days gone by! Fun!

Welcome to my Mad Hatter's Tea Party and Giveaway!

It's time, it's time!

For the 6th annual Mad HattersTea Party!

I'd like to thank Vanessa of

A Fanciful Twist for hosting this annual fun event!

If you'd like to continue the excitment from here, 

you can wander over

 and experience many more tea parties 

over at A Fanciful Twist and

continue in the fun!

Come with me and you will see a treasure of delight,

Rabbits wise and starry skies reflect the glowing sight.

Chartreuse green and pink of pinks, and leaves of vibrant hue;

Stone laid paths, an oaken tree, and moss do lend a clue,

Can it be, I surely see a table laid for me?

Pull up a chair, sit down right there,

You're invited to my tea!

Tea Cake and sweets, delightful treats, laid out in such a way,

Brocade of green, birds seldom seen, and antique acorn crochet;

Shall I pour out, a dripping spout, it's such a lovely day,

All my favorites, tea just right. I wonder if there's souffle?

Golden flowers smiling thusly, as I sip the golden brew;

How delightful, how delovely, served from the pot of blue.

What is this, a stolen kiss?

From an unexpected guest?

Every hairs in place, from tail to face

he want's to look his best!

Why this little chap, has seized the day

and wants to be a giveaway! :-)

Along with him, a special book, to remind you of this day.

So enjoy your tea, the flowers too, 

and I'll lay out the protocol for you.

Simply leave a comment with your name attached, 

and follow my blog 

and Facebook. unmatched.

Then when the BLOG followers reach 300 and stay, 

then little bunny and book will be on their way!

No matter, whether short or tall, 

I'll draw one name and ship the lucky winner their haul!

So tell your friends, come one come all,

It's a Possible Impossibilities Giveaway...

and we're having a ball!

Thank you very much for sharing tea with me today,

I hope you enjoyed your fanciful stay!

Come back again any ol day!

Oh.... and best of luck!

It's been fun!

New Ehag Emporium Piece!

It's that time again and here is my piece for the

April Ehag Emporium!

I thought I'd go a bit more vintage this time and created a

springy Jack O lantern bobble head mounted on a

hand cut wooden star.

Eyegore would make a wonderful addition to

any Halloween collection!

Purchase HERE.  :-)

Mortimer Morbidly, Esq.

For tonight's Ehag Emporium I'm introducing

"Mortimer Morbidly, Esq."

He's the proprietor of the Morbidly Melancholy Mortuary of Greymore Gulch.

In social gatherings he's often fond of joking...

"People are simply dying to see me".

Mortimer is available HERE in my Etsy Shop.

Thank you so much for looking, and for your continued support!

Wishing everyone a Wonderful Easter! :-)

This little bunny, along with several others will be making their debut 

in my Etsy Shop this evening.

They are assorted sizes and this particular fellow is approximately 6 in high.

He has German Glass eyes, luscious long ears, a loving heart charm 

and an adorable expression. Each one has a sweet personality of their own 

and they'll be ready for adoption tonight!

Oh... also tonight is the Ehag Emporium so be watching for my 

March piece....

"Mortimer Morbidly, Esq."

Guess Who?

Look who I found hiding under the

Milkweed plant in the garden!

Isn't she pretty? :-)

This lovely caterpillar will soon build a

crysallis and slowly transform into....

A Monarch Butterfly! :-)

Here's more info if you'd like to create a butterfly

garden in your own backyard! :-)

New Veggie Man available!...

For the Ehag Emporium this month I've created something

 a bit different than my usual "unusual" fair.

This is a very pouty and stingy "Veggie man in the moon" named

"Mine!"

He's very well behaved until... you try

to take his little Jack O Lantern away from him and then, well,

lets just say it's a right royal veggie conniption! 

 Available  HERE 

I've also been meaning to share this beautiful Amaryllis bloom!

This bulb was a gift from my Dad (Thank YOU!) when he came to visit

at Christmas and the end of January it sent up two 

large stalks and these amazing red blossoms!

There were four in total!

This was the first blooming, and two weeks ago

there was a second flush, and now a third is 

on it's way! Amazing! I thought Orchids gave you alot of 

bloom for your buck, but these are right up there

on the enduring and intensely stunning level as well!

For those that have asked, 

I'm posting the bunnies the end of the week. :-)

Happy Valentines Day!

Sending Valentine Wishes to Everyone

and a charming little Love ditty too! :-)

(you can turn my regular music off at the top left to listen)

Enjoy!

Fantom Frazzle for the Ehag Emporium!

How in the world did it become February already and 

where did January go?! Something tells me this is going to be 

another one of those years that zooms by at the speed of lightning.

At any rate, this is my first blog post of the year so 

Happy Belated New Year Everyone! lol  

So this little sculpture "Fantom Frazzle" is my creation 

for the Ehag Emporium for January 2013.

The bunnies are a work in progress,

and are coming along nicely.

Bunny Pendants/Ornaments!

Lots of fun new things coming up!

Happier than a pan full of Polar Bears!

The New Year is fast approaching, and I wanted to thank one and all for your friendship,

 blog comments, likes, and enthusiastic support. 

Here's to a spectacular 2013, and may we all be blessed with health, love, joy,

 and the most magical of dreams and imagination coming true!

May your new year be happier than a pan full of Polar Bears! 

 Happy New Year! :-) 

Happy Christmas to Everyone!

"Owlf", the Christmas Owl

Once again I find myself asking, Where did the time go?! Thanksgiving 

is past, November's end is nigh, and the Christmas holidays are

just around the corner in all of it's beautiful sights, songs and heavenly aromas.

It's been raining here the last few days so I've been able to catch up 

on several pieces in the studio. I just mailed out 4 special OOAK ornaments for the

annual PFATT Ornament exchange but I can't reveal those until the lucky

recipients have received their surprises. Well, 

maybe a little sneek peek. "giggle"  :-)

This little fellow is

Owlf, the Christmas Owl. (he's camera shy)

He's been created in a vintage and aged style and is embellished with 

German Glass Glitter. 

He stands on a lovely painted wood planked base.

He holds a wee whisp of a Sprig of a tree, and looks 

simply thrilled to be wearing his little green elf outfit!... 

Well, perhaps he looks somewhat less than thrilled because he is, after all,

 a Halloween Owl moonlighting for the Christmas season, lol, 

and here he stands, waiting for Santa. :-)

Owlf stands 7" (H) x 3"(W). The wooden base is 4" x 4" 

Owlf is the my year end piece for the Ehag Emporium 

and he'll be available HERE tonight at 9pm (est) 6pm (pst) 

Getting ready to decorate the house so doing some extra

spit and polish in readiness, so that's it till next time! :-)

Thanksgiving Blessings to All!

With gratitude and grace,

Wishing one and all a delicious day spent with

 friends and family

 for a Blessed Thanksgiving! :-)

Happy Halloween and new art!

As has been the case of late, I've no idea where the time has gone,

and harder still to believe it's Halloween already!

Here are some new works that I will be listing tonight. First

is this lovely folk art style owl painting, the first of a series.

"Autumn Familiar Owl"

8"(H) x 10"(W)

He was created for the PFATT group's 

Primitive Folk Art Talk & Tea

Haunted Halloween Challenge!

If interested he's listed Here

I'm ready for my close-up Mr. Demille!

It's a bit tricky to see, but there are elements of 

metallic gold throughout and he would look extra

fabulous in an antique gold frame.

The second painting in this series is 

"Autumn Familiar Fox"

6"(H) x 8"(W)

Mr Fox will post in my Etsy shop this evening.

And lastly, but most certainly not least.... 

This is my "Cat Goblin" for the 

Halloween  EHAG Emporium!

He's a boogery fellow for the most boogery night of the year!

Lovingly sculpted of papermache in a vintage style, from his

jaggedy scar, to his sharp pointy teeth,

he's not one I would trust in the dark!

Available Here

The Ehag Emporium opens it's creaky doors at 6pm (PST) or 9pm (EST) 

tonight.. Halloween night, and Cat Goblin will be available then

along with fun Halloween art from the other amazing EHAG Artists!

Wishing all of you lots of Candy Corn, Apple Cider and Autumnal fun on this

another spooky Halloween!

Boo!
