The 1940s

I came across some fabulous 1940s patterns. I just love the graphics on these. I would have loved to grown up in the 40's. Look at the wonderful skirts and blouses and their super thin bodies!

O' Christmas Tree...

I thought I'd show off some of my favorite ornaments on our Christmas tree. Most of them are ones I made or painted.



This one I hand painted in 1983.

The littel green mouse, I also hand-painted.

This is a hand-made dough ornament.

This is a hand-painted ornament.

This is two of my favorite ornaments. Troll Santa and Mrs. Claus.

Own the Hour

Own The Hour: Independent Etsy Promotion, Fresh Every Hour

This is an independent promotional site that you control!

OwnTheHour.com is a great resource for highlighting and finding some of Etsy's top items! Etsy sellers can advertise their product on our exclusive 12 item front page for just $0.50 cents per hour. They select the hours, and we do the rest! Etsy buyers, or those looking for great unique gifts, handmade crafts, and amazing pieces of art can stop buy each hour to see items that an Etsy seller has highlighted.

Spots fill up quickly, so get them as soon as you can. Once 12 spots have been sold for an hour, that time will no longer be available, until Midnight!

I advertised on "Own the Hour" today and Sunday, so I will see if I get any results from it and report back here!
