FREE GIVEAWAY UPDATE

This is it!

Last month I gave away this little troll with his bottle. The winner is the first person who orders from me after a secret date that I have pre selected. I have reached into my bag of numbers and selected a date for the NOVEMBER GIVEAWAY.

With all the choices out there, and all the places our money needs to go, I am honored when someone chooses to buy something that I made. This is my way of showing my gratitude and thanks. Also, I love secrets and surprises and think you do too!! Good luck to all my treasured customers!

I have another surprise, of sorts. I love to illustrate and write about trolls, as well as create them. I have my first mini self made book in the works and will update the story soon.

Coming SOON to my Etsy shop!

Little trolls and fairies that are so much more. They are smaller than my usual trolls, but they are built for traveling!. They have sturdy little bodies and a loop on the head for hanging. They are great for a pendant, charm, or even an ornament! My collectibles are made for play and these guys are ready to go anywhere that it's owner goes.

PINEY MEETS A SPIDER

One day, Piney (who is just a baby troll) met a spider.

Piney decides to carry the spider around all day and keep him for a pet.

Piney thinks he might be in trouble.

Poor little Piney could only holler "HELP!!!"

All the friends in the area gathered around, but they didn't know what to do.

We had to Air Care him out of there.

Surgery Is being performed

Piney is back to his normal self.

UT OH! Piney has found a bat to play with!

Giveaway every month!

My October givaway date has passed, so the next cusomer who buys from my Etsy shop will recieve a free sculpt! I have added fairies and have more to come!

How to keep a troll busy

I'm so happy that I found a way to keep my little guys busy (for a while anyway). I found some vintage Ouija boards that keep the Fuzzy Butz busy and I gave a blank journal and pencil to the Nakey Butz group. They are enjoying the pictures they have created.

A Squirrel and a Mouse

Stopping by for tea today was a little squirrel and mouse. I was surprised that they could find time away from their frantic nut-gathering activities. I think it was the brownies that drew them in!

Giveaway every month!

Aren't giveaways fun? I decided to give one little sculpture away every month to an unsuspecting customer. I choose a date by picking a number from a bag and mark that secret date on my calendar. The first person who buys something after the clock strikes 12 for that date gets a freebee in their box! Little Dumplin who is sitting in the pan is this month's freebee. He is going with Flo Ma who is shown with a knife because she is carving a pumpkin. She isn't going to cook and eat little Dumplin!! No Way!!

The date for next month's free sculpt has already been picked!

More Halloween Party!!!

A few more shots of the party guests. They are having such a great time. More will be coming soon!

A Halloween Party!

Trolls love Halloween more than any other Holiday. They are carving pumpkins, decorating, and trying on costumes already. I think some are actual aliens and don't need costumes though. The guests have started to arrive and I think this will get very messy.

Trolls in the Kitchen!

Sure they look all innocent and sweet now, but what a mess they made of my kitchen! I imagine they will all have a belly ache soon, but when they feel better, they are going to Etsy!

Something from (almost) nothing

Creative people love to make something from nothing and I think that is the attraction of making this wallet from a few pieces of duck tape. My sister made this one from an online tutorial and there are quite a few out there. She found the camoflage duck tape at a farm supply store. I especially like this type of tape because it has a cloth feel. You can go to a big box store and check out the hunting area as well, that is where I found the one shown still on the roll. What I like best about this wallet though, is that I love to use it! It is so simple and lightweight, that it goes into my pocket easily.

three baby trolls for a Dollhouse

I love making little baby boy trolls! They are just a couple of inches long and wear a leather diaper.

A Mouse in my House

I love my mini house, but every so often I find an unexpected visitor. Today I found a mouse cooking up some breakfast. Maybe it is a rat. Sure looks right at home in there.

My brood is heading to eBay

Little babies, imps and elves, trolls and dragons are what I'm planning to list on eBay. I have sculptures that I never really did anything with as well as new little ones made for my dollhouse and miniature addiction.

More is more!!

This last tin house was found at a large outdoor antique show. I have never bargained for anything before, always paying the asking price. However, I heard everyone saying "how much would you take for this" so I gave it a try. They took off $5.00 and the price was $22.00. It has the Disney room and garage that make it even more special. There are plenty more that I would like to collect-but I have run out of room!

(for now anyway!)

Another vintage house!

My next find came from an Antique store. I just loved this pressed board house. One shop had the same house for$75.00, but this one was $28.00. I have started remoldeling the kitchen. I use mat board so that I'm not changing the vintage house's original paint.

A trip to Goodwill

I didn't go to Goodwill looking for anything in particular, but two children were playing with this dollhouse that sat on the floor. After they left, I looked at the price tag..only $25.00. Who could resist that bargain? My daughter helped me lug it out to the van. It is handmade of plywood and pressed board. I have already repainted it at this point. Many of the furniture pieces are just blocks of wood that came with the house, although I can appreciate the time and effort that went into this house and furniture!

My bargain shopping didn't end here! I'll be posting more on this subject later. Now it is time to beat the heat and go swimming!!

I'm a mini addict!!!

I'm strongly attracted to all things mini and dollhouses. It took a huge effort to pack away my craft supplies and make room for my new passion which is vintage dollhouses. The discovery is part of the fun. I bought this bakery at an auction over a year ago. I bid $1.00 and it was mine. It didn't look like this though. It was very dusty and most of the bakery items were eaten away. I either bought or made more food.

The little tin dollhouse is missing a partition, chimney and ceiling, but it was only $10.00 at a flea market. I will probably make it into a stable.

Bead Baby

I just thought I would share my latest creation. She is a little girl with a bead necklace. She is on her way to Tennessee where she will have a job minding the cash register at a wonderful bead shoppe. She was so excited to have this job, so I gave her a kiss and sent her on her way!
