Be Ye Thankful and Draw.Write.Now

Posted on by TheIrishLady in Sharing

These bark pencils are from Leftovers Antiques here in Brenham.  I picked them up during Round Top with something in mind, but not sure what,  so I put some brown paper on the table and started being thankful.   I know when we sit down at our next meal my guys will be tempted by the cool pencils.  I never prompt them with words because they’ll think its corny.  I just start drawing or writing.  I am looking forward to reading what they write.

 

Another possibility for the bark pencils will be for place markers at Thanksgiving.  I’m still pondering that one since I am not sure who will be coming this year.  I have these great books that teach drawing that we have had for years.  Even adults enjoy this simple instruction book.  I’ve used brown paper many time for gatherings and the pencils and crayons strike up the creativity in everyone.  You would be amazed at what happens when you give an adult a crayon and paper in a relaxed setting especially when they have no where else to go! LOL

Be Your Own Kind Of Beautiful

Recently, I blogged about Hermann Furniture and have done so many times in the past.  I don’t think I can convey just how big this store is and really there are many stores under the Hermann umbrella of Furniture, Accessories, Antiques, Crafts, Upholstery, Gifts, Floral, Design Services.  The section that our booth is located in is the Antique Mall where different vendors rent space.  Here’s what is new and for sale under my little part of the umbrella  in the booth:

My friend Tikaa suggested word art on the old windows that I seem to be attracted to and have amassed a large collection of  so I found something to say on the old glass panes of each of these windows.  Hey, Tikaa, this reminds me of you…

 

Be Your Own

Kind of Beautiful

The difficulty with making something is that you want to keep it for yourself, but I am willing to share…LOL

You can find both window panes at Hermann’s Antique Mall in The Irish Lady’s Booth.

Catie In The Latest Walmart Fashion

Photogenic, Catie is not!  Neither is she very cooperative especially when she is in her “Miss Minerva Mood” which means, ” I can’t be bothered and you are not the mistress of the house.  I am.”    But, here I am trying,  once again,  to get an adorable photo of a very crotchety D. O. G.  She won’t even look at me and as you can see can hardly tolerate the whole experience.  Anywho,  take a look at her latest Walmart fashion.  She actually loves this thing and has to have it on or if its hot she has to have it next to her when she sleeps.  She’s possessive that way…with everything.
