I have found the most wonderful things to paint on lately! Dearest declares that we are going to have to build on an addition just to hold my "junk" --- I quickly remind him that it isn't junk at all and that I promise to reorganize my craft room to accommodate all my TREASURES!
Here are two little whimsies that I picked up recently. The first is vintage food grater that I repurposed to become a towel hanger. It was perfectly rusted so I left the surface unchanged and only added one of my saltbox designs. The other is a "short'ning and ice cream spoon" --- isn't that a disgusting combination??? I had never seen one before, but did a little research online and found out that you can find them if you are lucky. The shape was perfect for painting a little prim night scene. I had such a good time painting these pieces. So now, I have to get in that craft room and get serious about maximizing my space.

I have to stop looking on your site I love all the things you do and I have to put a tight reign on myself or I would be buying it all. You are so talented Martha and you seem to see promise in the most mundane items it is lovely that these things get turned into a thing of beauty.
You, my dear.......changed the mundane into the FABULOUS! How beautiful.

I sooooo enjoyed visiting your blog this afternoon. What a talented lady you are! Luv your style of folk-art painting, the coffee pot and sheep gourds are among my favorites. Thanks for putting a smile on my face. :)
