Flea Market Friday

Hi everyone. It's Flea Market Friday! I hope you enjoy shopping from home on Flea Market Friday. So without further adeau, here we go!

This is my latest project. A half dozen of highly scented Cinnamon Buns. These buns are handmade by me. They are made of muslin, can you believe it! Don't they look real? These little yummies are full size, approx. 1-1/2" to 2" high and 2-1/2" in diameter. They smell delicious and look great sitting in your favorite bowl or baking dish (not included) on your table or counter. The scent can be refreshed with your favorite cinnamon bun oil as often as you like.

Price per half dozen: $15.00 and $3.50 shipping.

Happy Flea Market Friday Y'all!

I have become so busy these days with fall craft fairs that I just can't squeeze out the time to post merchandise here for the next few Flea Market Fridays, but you can see oodles and skads of hand-did purties at my websites. I have opened Unique Boutique Jewelry, a handcrafted and vintage jewelry shoppe with very affordable prices and FREE shipping!

Crafts and Fall Festivals

Hi y'all! Wood n' Whimsy (aka; Pam and myself) are going nuts with the prim crafts getting ready for fall festivals and craft fairs. Our 1st one is the Lebanon Fall Festival on Saturday Oct 4th in Lebanon, Illinois. Lebanon is a small rural town, home to McKendree College, about a 30 minute drive from St. Louis. If you live in this area, it's definitely a neat place to go. Lebanon still has many brick streets, several old stately antebellum mansions turned B&B and tons of interesting and quirky craft, antique and gift shops line the main street. It's a very quaint old town. If you live within driving distance it's a great place to get away for a weekend. It's also just a few miles from MidAmerica Airport.

Anyway, here are some of the crafts we are crankin' out! Please let me know your favorite by leaving a comment.

Bowl Fillers. This is Pam's thing as I REALLY, REALLY HATE to sew. I started them and she had to finish them or I would have thrown them away! I have tried so hard to like to sew, but just can't do it. I did coffee stain and decorated them.

This is an old screen that I painted. I have it propped up against a coral color wall, so it isn't showing as well as it should. I love painting on screens. It doesn't require much skill.

This cutie stands about 3 feet tall or can hang.

I love old windows too! I am not an artist so this is a decoupaged picture with the edges burned.

Well that's it for now. Until next time....God Bless,

This is an old dressed up telegraph insulator!

Pam is always saying " what are you gonna do with that, it's junk!" But I know I'll think of something. Just like this old crooked frame with a rusted hinge that I pulled out of a junk pile.

I tried a new lettering technique. Raised letters made from hot glue and then painted.
