My Latest Antiquing Finds and a Sneak Peek

Since my return from Canada I have been busily preparing Halloween dolls and ornaments for my first foray into the craft show world, coming up in October. So I have many new creations in the works, but most will be held aside for the show for now.  I do have some wonderful new antique show and shop finds to share though – some will become part of my show display.  I found all of these pieces up in Canada.  I would have brought back even more items, but my parents beat me to a few of them… when we go antiquing together, we always seem to go after the same items!

I would also like to share a sneak peek of my September 1st offering for Early Work Mercantile – she is a very primitive and scary witch.

Check back next week to see more of her!  I will try to squeeze in some new Etsy offerings soon too.

    I love your new finds Stephanie. Particularly that red basket. What will you fill it with? The other boxes are great too. You must have a “nose” for great antique finds. Make your parents stay at home next time…lol.

    The witch is suitably scary with that amazing nose. I cannot believe Halloween is nearly in sight. It only seems the other day that we started the summer.

    Thank you, ladies – the full view of the witch is up now in my newest post. :)

    Cathy – I haven’t decided what to fill the red box with yet – it is still waiting for that perfect find or finds to complement it. So far everything I have tried putting inside of it hasn’t quite worked yet. And I can’t believe Halloween is so near yet either – and it’s already quite chilly weather here this week!
