(these doorknobs available at my Etsy store Here)

Vintage door knob found at a local market taken from a home before it was torn down. I fell in love with the chippy green paint. I could not resist placing these crystal hardware knobs I found to complete these pieces. Great little accessories or I would love to hang in a Laundry room. A little knob to place a jacket on.

One of my favourite treasures given to me by my Grandparents. These were my Great Grandma's ~ Depression glass. Depression glass was given out from banks during the depression when you opened an account.

I love this Green!

Enjoy your day!

~Princess Wall Hangings~

Hi Everyone! This is my latest hand-painted wall hanging inspired by the Marie Antoinette with my whimsical interpretation of Versailles. Marie Antoinettes favourite colour was bleu which is captured in the Chateau, flowers and the small little details throughout. This wall hanging is simply titled ~Il etait une fois, bleu~ (Once upon a time...)

This is available for a limited time at my Etsy store HERE.

This wall hanging is approx 2X3 feet comes with a hand-painted finial and double sided satin ribbon. Comes ready for you to hang. This wall hanging will finish off your little princess room.

If Bleu isn't your Princess' colour I have painted a smaller version of my original Il etait une fois wall hanging with all the details as the larger version. Size is approx 2X3 feet, has lovely touches of pinks, ivories and golds.

The pretty pink swags is were I will personalize it for you with your Princess' name.

Trick or Treat

My"Little Witches Kitchen" hand-painted wall hanging is full of spells & potions for sale daily after Midnight. What spells could some pixie dust or some snake oil brew up tonight? I also added a few crystals and a touch of glow-in-the-dark paint to scare all the goblins away. hehe

I recently found this picture of myself from my Grandpa's aka "Grumpy's" home. I was a very scarrrry witch. I look as if my cheeks were already stuffed full of goodies! lol

My sweet mom made my Halloween outfits, such good memories. I wonder what ever happened to that hat?

Also, notice my hat~it's the same one from my "Little Witches Kitchen" Banner

Every good witch needs a pair of very special shoes sprinkled with lots of "good faerie dust". Hand-made by moi. They were a challenge to make and not sure how they will stand up to this weekends events.

I wish everyone a very Spookalicious weekend.

I hope you will bring home lots of Goodies!
Au revoir!

~ Un beau lapin ~

Hi~I hope everyone had a great weekend!

This is my latest design, Un beau lapin ~ The colours are a beautiful robin's egg bleu, mixed with some golds and then a crisp white, commissioned as a custom hand-painted wall-hanging. The ideas were started by some ribbon in robin's egg bleu & some natural linen fabric. A bunny was a must along with a robin's egg nest. So the drawing was started.

The quick sketch

(to see enlarged ~ click picture)

This is the finished product.

I sooo loved painting this. Some of the added elements were ribbon weaved in and out of the canvas topped with a satin bow. The cute little bunny is finished of with a pom-pom in white yarn fluffed up for his cottontail. Trimmed on the bottom with a ruffled linen and for easy hanging topped off with a natural rope & a wooden heart to hang from.

The saying is in french and says "Once upon a time a lived a beautiful bunny..."

This is a close-up of the bunny. I was also commissioned to paint a few more items for them and will have them posted in a later post. ***Hint Hint Hint***may be a little piggy, ducky or a calf/cow, so I have a quick question. If you were to only choose two animals to go with the beau bunny, what would your top two be???

PIGGY?

DUCKY?

or a CALF/COW?

Au revoir
