PAFA giveaway win and what I’m working on.

Good Monday blog friends,

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. It was pretty nice weather wise here in the valley. Sun/clouds during the day and rain in the nights.

My sister and niece came for a visit for the weekend. It was very nice. On Saturday we went to Luray for the spring festival. There was a nice selection of vendors set up, but it seems food vendors and jewelry vendors out weigh all else. There were a few primitive vendors, but most of the items they offered where not hand made! We did go into some of the shops along the main street and I did find something I had been looking for.

A child's old slate. It’s in very nice condition and the old cloth edging is still in good condition. I have seen these in antique shops for as much as $20, but this one I only paid $5 for it. That’s all I purchased at the show.

I was a winner over at The PAFA Etsy Team giveaway.  I won this beautiful hand painted picture done by Barb of Barb’s Heartstrokes.

Here is how I decided to display it for now, but I may be changing my whole living room around we’ll see.

I want to send a BIG Thank You to Barb as well as all the talented artists at PAFA for hosting and donating all the wonderful hand mades for their giveaway. I had so much fun seeing all the offerings and who won these generous giveaways.

  2. Love your works in progress pics Jean! Very inspiring! I used to have a toy slate as a little girl-your picture brought back memories. I've never seen a genuine antique slate...the fabric edging is interesting! ~*~Lisa

  5. Rats! When you said you found something you'd been looking for, I thought you were going to say you found "spring" - and I was going to find out where you found it!! ;o) Seriously - love the old slate - that was a great deal! And congrats, Jean, on winning that sign - it's beautiful!! Can't wait to see those "Farmer Kitties" done up - they look so cute already! Have a great week! Smiles & Hugs, Robin
