I Love Your Blog award

Thank you so much, Tracy! It was a really nice surprise to receive this award from you. Now I need to pass the award onto 7 other blogs - it is extremely difficult for me to pick just 7 since I have such a long list of favorites, so here are 7 of my favorites at random:

I will have more new creations to share again soon too!  This month I have been busy working on custom orders, goodies for the WSOAPP Halloween swap (my package went out on Friday, I hope my swap partner enjoys it!), and new dolls for the September 7th launch of my WSOAPP shoppe.  I just finished a primitive witch for my shoppe and hope to be able to finish at least one other new doll in time for our grand opening.  Unfortunately I have vacation plans overlapping our launch date, but I will get everything set up before I leave, and respond to any orders/inquiries when I return home on September 11th.

Here is a sneak peek at the latest offering from Old World Primitives - a pair of primitive sisters. One is an angel, and one is a witch.

The pair are joined together and each has a string for hanging. I created these primitive dolls using a Netty LaCroix pattern. The sisters will be available for sale soon in the shops listed under “Where to Find My Work” at the upper right of this blog.

This set is also an Old World Primitives design and includes two of each design pictured, for a total of 6 ornaments in the set.

Each ornament is made of chenille and vintage Halloween images printed on card stock. These primitive folk art ornaments are available now on Old World Primitives and in the Old World Primitives Etsy shop.

Mrs. Baker is an extreme primitive folk art doll made of muslin stuffed with sawdust. She wears a tea-stained muslin skirt with an adjustable drawstring and a very prim carrot. She has bits of coffee-stained string for hair and vintage buttons for eyes. I made her using a Netty LaCroix design. Click the links under Where to Find My Work in the upper right corner of this blog (a list that I am excited to say will be expanding very soon) to find where she is available for sale.

I created them with chenille and some of my favorite vintage Halloween images printed on card stock. I think they will be right at home on one of my feather trees or perhaps hanging from a pegboard.

I will be posting these folk art ornies for sale on Old World Primitives soon as a set of six - two of each of the three designs in the set.

It has square nails and original paint that is in remarkably good condition. I plan to use it to display a grouping of my primitive dolls.

I just added her to my Old World Primitives Etsy shop.  Many thanks to Netty LaCroix for the design!
