This winter we have either had extreme cold or a lot of snow. Instead of wasting the utilities I put a sign on my antique mall door that I am open by phone calls. It has been 3 days so far. The
weather is horrible for business but great for sorting and cleaning out.I was really excited
because I found some of my old art work! It had been missing for quite some time. I put them up so they would be safe~they were so safe I couldn't find them, lol.I decided to play show and tell. These were all done years ago~back then I didn't really appreciate my work. I do now that I am older, even if they aren't perfect there was a lot of time involved. The china painted pieces won awards and so did still life water color. The drawing of the little girl was a self portrait~you know when you have to take an old photo then draw yourself? It was a trip down memory lane for me. Maybe I will paint and draw again someday......
Don't forget about Friday Flea Market
I added some cute vintage Valentine's!
~~Have a wonderful weekend!~~

Wow, you are a woman of incredible talent! I can't believe you put those away. Leave 'em out!
Your artwork is beautiful! I am so in awe of artists that can get it from the brain to the canvas. I love to paint but I have to have it predrawn by some one else first. You should do more painting now to see how it compares to your previous work. I love it all.
Wonderful work!! You should def pick up your paints again.

My goodness Michelle....you are so talented. Sorry you can't keep the mall open but it looks like it does have it's silver lining with your "finds". I did find some great stuff while treasure hunting this past weekend. I rarely buy for myself anymore but I ran across a great old window iron piece with a cathedral feel. I didn't buy it but when I got home I called them and ask them to please hold for me. I hope to go back and pick up this weekend if the weather is good. It will go in my foyer. Stay warm and safe. xo Lynn
Michelle

Oh my, what a delight to find your blog! I surfed over from The Vintage Nest whom I have been following for awhile.
Your blog is absolutely delightful. Your creative abilities are awesome. I am so eager to get my etsy goodies from you :-).
Cheers, Lucy
What a great artist you are. I love the self portrait of you as a girl and that cat looks like our little black cat at home. I bet you are glad to have found them.
Oh my word. I cannot believe that you are not painting and drawing now. Those were incredible. You have amazing talent and should definitely take it up again. The things you could create....wow. -Mr Blessings
oh my gosh i love your blog!!!
very inspirational! come on over to my nest when you have a moment.

I am impressed - especially by your self-portrait. You are incredibly talented and this is just something you MUST make time for. I know you're busy, but your artwork is a God-given talent.
I guess I'm so emphatic about this, because everyone - and I mean everyone in my family can draw and paint - except for me (and Dad). And I really, really wish that I could.
