Merry Mice, Old Lace & New Tags...

More merry mice!

I have been drawing these sweet little

faces for weeks... so eager to list them!

The sun peeked through and I was able to get photos!

I will be adding new art to my Etsy store daily...

Originals...

Prints...

Vintage dresses and linens...

I will post about them first, a peek for you!

These laces were a fun find!

I have not washed them...
I like the stains and aged colors...



Such treasures...
Each piece so very different~

Long ago...

When women passed each other...

Did they have time to notice the little details?

I'm such a visual person...

Dinner would have been late, laundry on the line

would have been damp from the evening air!

This little pink box...

Under a stack of felt and misc. fabric...

Surprise!

These are the new tags I made to share

as a thank you with each sale in my Etsy...

They do not dry well this time of year.

When I put them in a metal colander I can use

a hair dryer to speed the process!

Keeps them from flying all over the studio~

Sometimes dots from the metal appear on the tags, too.

Hope your week is filled with creative projects!

Time to go list my little furry friends~

Merry Mice...

Several of my posts have to be edited because

all of my images disappeared!

In many of the following posts the images are

at the top... I have not been able to figure

out how to put the images where they were originally.

I added some of the notes below.

Field mice find our bird seed supply

no matter how tight the lids...

They can get in~ but perhaps their tummy

is too full, they can't seem to climb back out!
I try to take quick photographs...

Wouldn't want to stress them!

"Eeeeek!"

I thought one little friend may have been

trapped without water for a bit too long.

I found a tool to scoop it out...

It was napping!

Cozy, warm... nestled in delicious golden seeds.

They are so very sweet...

In the fields & in these stockings!

Wishing you sweet dreams~

Misty Morning Erie Canal...

The Erie Canal has some of the sweetest little towns
running along side of it... Our town celebrates its history

throughout the year...
We celebrate its quiet beauty everyday!

A few snapshots before the mist cleared...

New York State blue and gold...

Just love those colors on the tug boats!
Metal bridges for auto traffic...

The path is filled with bright red rose hips...
Concord grapes...
Cattails...

Chipmunks...

The canal path connects town after town...

Wide enough for an automobile, but motorized vehicles

are prohibited... we walk, bike... skip... run... sit.

The cool temps have the Canada Geese on the move...

If only from pond to pond...

This pair is off from the V formation a little...
Perhaps they're distracted by the beautiful foliage~

Or they're planning afternoon tea...

Their honk-honk-honk is a welcome sound~

Hope your day is perfect!

Ordinary beauty...

After days and days of rain...

It was nice to walk around our soggy lawn

without becoming soaked and cold~
Can't you imagine Miss Ladybird walking along

the Sweet Pea line... collecting little water kisses

in her purse for later?
Weeds are even pretty with little droplets...
Within seconds, the gray sky began to fade into white...

Blue patches!

Wishing you a sweet and sunny day~
