Do I look as good as I feel?


Less than 3 hours to December. 
A month that contains, among other things... rest!!

Bear with me?

Santas, and Thanks...

First, Nicole and I want to thank all of you for making it a great Fall - Winter show season.
(The plan was to take today off, but I find myself at work again!)
So many projects to complete before Christmas.

In the meantime, I wasn't going to bother posting any pictures of these guys since they sold before I had a chance. But so many of you have said that you'd like to see them anyway.

sold out.

I did a few different styles of these this year, all about 18 inches tall. 
I'll try to post some others later on, but... 
(at the moment we need a little break from Christmas.)


One more Day in the Country!


(upholstered with antique European grainsacks with original early text.)
For those of you who told us you wish you could have come, 
or wish you would have bought,
or didn't reach fast enough...

... we've decided to extend the sale for one more day.

We're busy restocking, re-organizing

getting ready for one more day

Saturday, November 24th   10am - 4pm

Thanks to K&Co., (an amazing blog from Copenhagen) for their post "Min Jul" last Christmas, which provided the inspiration on the first one, and started the ball rolling.

Santo Nicolas


sold

My reproduction of an early Santa figure, (whom I've nicknamed Santo Nicolas since I never found time to do the Santos that I have been wanting to do all year).
I love the detailing on this one. The wide set passive eyes, threadbare moustache, ratty, stained clothes, faded tree... No jolly old elf.

About 18 inches tall.



Legions


Getting together some music for what I expect to be a late night in the studio,
and thought I'd share what is one of my favorites on such an occasion.


Happy Halloween



Phew!
We've been beavering away, prepping for our upcoming sales. 
Chomping at the bit to post some pictures of new stuff, but almost everything we've been working on is for Christmas, and it's too early for that.
Or is it?
Only a week and a half until our Vintage Christmas Open House!

Hope you can make it,  November 9th - 11th.
(see previous post)
In the meantime, I'll get some pictures on here soon.
Promise.

Thanks...



 Just a note of thanks for a great show... especially to those of you who braved the cold wind, rain and drizzle. As usual, I didn't take many pictures, aside from these few during set-up.
Some of you may notice that I have replaced a few of the sold pieces... I'll be updating the "now available" page here on the blog shortly.


With only 4 weeks to go until the next sale, we had to hit the ground running.
Please stay tuned for info about that... I'll be posting that shortly too.
Again... Thanks!

Mora Clock

Sold.

I just finished this clock yesterday, and since our first show of the season starts tomorrow, I thought I'd give a quick preview.
About 79 inches tall, made from new pine with a heavily distressed white over grey paint finish. Convex glass, hand-painted face and quartz movement. 
All handmade moldings, and 3 interior shelves.


Though technically not a Mora clock, I had seen the original on a Swedish blog and fell in love with it.
(Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the blog, so if anyone recognizes it please let me know.)
Update... Found it. It was lillevildand.blogspot.it ...check it out, here.

Hope to see some of you at the show this weekend.
