Announcements and other Ramblings



It's been another one of those weeks! Thanks to everyone who stopped by...I'm on my way to catch up on my blogging and see what everyone has been up to!

This week I joined an online market called Primitive Peddlers. It is a new website that was just started by Cathy Jackson of Hazelruthe's , who is not only a sweet person, but a computer whiz! She has put together a great directory of artisans who sell online....so it's like one stop shopping!

Here is a link to the page she set up for me under "Early American":
Me on Primitive Peddlers

And here is a link to the sites home page:

Saturday, March 15th, The Primitive Gathering will be updated. I've painted a few more Hares in the ancestral lineage. Grandpa Hare and Penelope are the latest painted bunny portraits.
I've also painted a few more silhouettes. A husband and wife on oval plaques and a little girl holding up her dolly. She is at the top left of the blog.

I'm also trying to paint like a crazy person and update My Etsy Shop so please check back soon. I have a few boards base coated, and I'll paint a collection of birds on them for Spring.

......and speaking of Spring, here is an update on those "Pear Sticks"!! They are blooming!! I'm so happy I didn't have report on their demise...they are actually surviving in my house!
(we've had some rainy days, so it was a little dark when I took the photo, and I used a flash)

You have a green thumb extreme, sister - wanna try your hand at a money tree? I'd love a lil slip of that once you can get me a starter :)

Hi Suzanne! It's good to know that I am not alone! I just bought a new angel vine house plant and within two weeks I managed to kill it! So, I decided to take your lead and cut some forsythia and crab apple sticks. Hope my sticks bloom as nicely as yours! Patti
