Tiny Works- Magnets

Like tiny works of art...
A new product line for early Summer!
These magnets are so much fun and generously sized! Along with the refrig, try putting them on other metallic surfaces such as metal tins,baking pans or magnet boards for a dash of whimsy and fun. Great as a little gifty item too...
I also think they would be so fun in tiny little shadowbox frames clustered in groupings...
The Magnet Collection is strong, durable and are apprx 3"x4"
sealed with a cleanable light fast surface.

Thanks for stopping by!

A study in white...

A study in white...
If white were a color it would be my second favorite next to green. I love the many shades and moods that a luminous cloud of white can provide. This is a recent commission that I happily created for a lovely customer friend. I had much fun working on all the

different houses and shades of white that each house portrays... Each house has some of my favorite elements from my salvage stash, and as always, plenty of nails and tack staples abound. A picket fence wraps itself around this little Parisian cottage.

The number #4 and the #5 are vintage ceramic tiles called Portland House Numbers . They were originally used in the 1930s in Portland Or. extensively as easily identifiable address markers. It's getting harder and harder to find those vintage ones with all their faded and worn beauty. Thank you again Karen for the wonderful opportunity!!
