New item, shabby chic or folk art

By -

Here is a lovely piece that I will post on Etsy soon.  I am deciding about the shipping.  I believe this is considered folk art and I would not want it to be damaged.  It will not fit in a flat rate box!!  It is beautiful and very shabby chic and would great in a nautical themed room. Look for it in the shop soon. Babs

I would like to feature a wonderful artist today. Adrien Miller is a potter, a painter and a sculptor. He is a visual artist and creates pottery and paintings of the human form. His studio is based in Seattle and is a member of the Etsy Recyclers Guild Team, as am I. I randomly chose his sculpture in a Treasury before I actually began talking to him for this interview. I liked his art as soon as I first set eyes on it! His sculpture is the lovely torso in the top row of the Treasury below. Visit his Etsy shop, ADRIEN ART at : http://www.etsy.com/shop/AdrienArt?ref=pr_shop_more# His shop is filled with fantastic pottery, vessels bearing faces, torsos on tea pots and paintings of the human body. It is surely a magical place! I asked Adrien some questions about his Etsy experience. When and why did you start selling on Etsy? "I opened my Etsy shop on November 10th, 2009. I needed to do it. I make art with most of my time, and I was having an issue with not minding

I have lost 62 lbs since my last post! This is my before photo.  I feel so much better now. Hello friends, I know it has been ages since a post.  Lots of crazy things have happened from surgery to Covid 19 quarantine!! We have been doing some projects in our time off.  Our backyard had an old shed ,painted red, and rotting.  The hubby (Len) decided to help me paint, replace wood walls, and insulate to make a "She Shed". Rotted wood on the shed walls. This project took a week or more.  Len said we could have built a whole new shed !! We scraped and painted as best we could. Now it will be painted a safety blue.  This is paint Len found for free.  He  also made new barn doors for me. Finished painting the outside.  Now for the inside!! Dirt bin and mosaic top to the potters bench (made from broken china) Inside painted and partially panel wood veneer.   We used what we had and there is some insulation behind it. I used an o

Hello Etsy Shoppers

It has been a while since my last post about the shop! Many of you know that Becky is married, has 2 kids and a full-time job now so she has moved on from the shop.  She also literally moved to Wisconsin and I am so sad, I miss those grandkids.  Life goes on and things change as does Etsy.  Etsy has really stepped up their game in marketing, I have even seen commercials on TV!   I hope all of you are well and like the look of the shop.  I changed a few things but our goal is the same: To sell fabulous mid-century items to you and to preserve pieces of history in the process. I miss all of our wonderful customers. Love ya, Babs Becky, Calla 4, Wynn 6
