Now that I've got my feet back under me...

Geesh...I've once again neglected my blog! Now that all the craziness of Christmas is over, hopefully I can once again get back to posting at least once a week...we shall see! I was VERY busy this year with spring, summer and holiday shows. My holiday shows were a success, especially Holiday Handmade put on each year by Fancy Tiger. I only have a few shots of my booths and I am hoping I can get those posted soon.

So not only has my blog been neglected but my etsy shops have suffered too. Today, I finally got some new goodies posted in Lani's Vintage.









Aren't those just the CUTEST little rubber critters you've ever seen? If I still had little ones, these would be staying with me to decorate the nursery! I also listed this great industrial storage cabinet.






If you can't live without any of these things...then hurry over and snatch them up!

New Things Listed...In Both of My Esty Shops!

Three new items listed in lanisvintage.etsy.com ~







New soldered night light listed in www.objectsofaffection.etsy.com

THE LITTLE RAVEN - book page art - limited edition

THE LITTLE RAVEN

I printed each one on my Epson R1800 with archival inks that last a VERY long time. The raven was printed on the book page and then I added color with color pencil in four different shades teal, magenta, lime green and orange.

I am going to make these a limited addition of 14. You'd better snatch it up quick. They will come signed and numbered on the back of each print.

Each one will measure about 5" X 7". The print will come mounted on black mat board (8" X 10") with black photo corners as pictured.

**COLLECT ALL FOUR COLORS (TEAL, MAGENTA, LIME GREEN, ORANGE), THEY WOULD BE GREAT HUNG TOGETHER AS A GROUPING!

Iron Indian Chief - 5X7 Matted Photo

Iron Indian Chief

*******************************

This is a 5" x 7" photo. I printed it on my Epson Stylus Photo R1800 printer with archival pigment inks that resist fading for up to 200 years! It is printed on Kodak Gloss Photo Paper. Photo will be signed and dated.

With this print you will receive a black or white mat (you choose) which will fit into a 8x10 frame.

Available to puchase in my shop www.objectsofaffection.etsy.com

David Copperfield - Printed Book Page Art - Limited Edition

Sorry I didn't have a chance to post a Wednesday Wish List...I had to do some major grocery shopping. :)

*****************************************

Awww...don't you just love Charles Dickens?

I created this piece by taking a picture of one of my many creepy/cute vintage bisque dolls...they are a new obsession of mine. One little lad in his tux...which was a bit tattered, I thought would be so great to print on a book page of the Copperfield story. How lucky I was to find in my book collection a vintage Readers Digest with the story!

I will be printing each one on my Epson R1800 with archival inks that last a VERY long time. I am going to make these a limited addition of 250. This is number 1 in the series, so you'd better snatch it up quick. They will come signed and numbered on the back of each print. Each one will measure about 5.25" wide by 7" long.





I listed this on etsy yesterday (click here for the link) and I checked on it today and it said it only had 1 view! Goodness...I thought it was a really cute piece, what do you think of it? I would love to have your feedback as to what you think about it!

PRICES REDUCED!

I am reducing the prices on all of my soldered night lights!

ORIGINAL PRICES $25 to $27

Plastic Animals

A few weeks ago I was in the mood to snap some photos. So I rounded up some of my son's plastic zoo animals, dinosaurs and two of my old iron banks. I am really pleased with how they turned out...I think that they would be a GREAT addition to any little boys room, or any room for that matter. I listed two of them on etsy the other day (www.objectsofaffection.etsy.com) and I plan to list them all eventually.















I never know if my photos are any good...I just know that I like them. Please let me have your feedback!

A New Night Light...Little Cottage

Just wanted to share a new night light that I've created. I had been wanting to make one in the shape of a little house for some time now, and finally got around to getting one completed. I am very pleased at how this one turned out, and I would like to create more like it...what do you think of it?



P.S. If you are interested in this little cottage light it is for sale...just contact me!

Thank God I'm a Country Girl

Everyday on Etsy I check to see if I have been included in any treasuries. The other day I was! It was entitled "Thank God I'm a Country Girl" and was put together by SecondHandNews (www.SecondHandNews.etsy.com). I thought that it was a great treasury to have this time of year with all of the county fairs that are going on...and I thank God that I am a country girl to! :)

Love Night Light *New Design*

Here is my latest soldered night light...it is a new design!





Everyone needs a night light. So don’t get just any old light, get a light that will not only do the job it will also look good while doing it! This little light that I made would be charming in any room!

I printed this image on my HP printer. The image is encased between two pieces of glass (3" X 2.5") and then soldered (with a lead free solder). This sweet light looks really cute when lit up (the picture does not do it justice). This little night light will come in a clear gift box like the one shown in the photo below, it is ready to give as a gift!



I also have more designs for night lights, if you would like to see any of the others just let me know and I can make another one for you! I will be adding more designs soon! Thanks for looking! ;)

**PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A STOCK PHOTO YOUR NIGHT LIGHT MIGHT VARY SLIGHTLY**
