Monday October 5, 2009

I can not believe it is the first Monday in October!  I spent last week in PA helping out my mother in law, and Christmas shopping for her.  Had a great time with my husbands family, and enjoying the colors changing up in the mountains.  The weather started to cool down, and it was just nice sitting on the front porch watching the world go by.  So I did not get a posting down last week, but I'm back with some more great shops for everyone to look at.  So get something good to drink, and get your holiday shopping list out and let see if can not some one crossed off your list today.  While you are shopping for people on your list remember yourself, and what you could add to your home.  Bring back some good old fashion memories this Fall and Holiday season.  When you are done looking at these shops, please type OFG into your search bar for some more wonderful shops to look at.  Enjoy your day!

I joined the OFG group in the spring of 2008 but I have to confess that I haven't been very diligent in keeping my shop filled. I am trying really hard to correct that.

Most of my items are handpainted and one of a kind. I love doing snowmen and santas and will be adding those to my shop along with more trash to treasure items and gourd head dolls.

I am always inspired by and in awe of God's creation. His color palette amazes me.

The favorite thing in my shop right now is my Lily and Jingle Bear primitive doll. But, that will change when I start adding my santas and other holiday items.
