Mustard & Black


Did a little playing last night. This is an antique doll cradle circa 1830. It sports my favorite colors...mustard and black with the tiniest traces of red. It's anxiously awaiting the arrival of mini pumpkins and gourds. In the meantime, a Shooner bird, a piece of brown checked early homespun and a few pieces stone fruit are calling it home.

Original work by Wendy of Pineberry Lane

This wonderful lady from Pineberry Lane is resting on a dough bowl wearing it's original pumpkin paint...another favorite color...and perfect for Fall decorating. Wendy's work is gorgeous and her choice of colors is...absolute perfection!


I'll be working on this little fellow today. He is destined to become a mini version of Long Tall Kitty.


There is a storm coming our way. Please keep us in mind...it's always a bit unnerving. 

Got to get to work!

Enjoy the day,
Robyn

    Well that does it! I have no choice but to get that chart. I've seen it several times and your close up made the decision for me. Hope the storm passes without incident.

    Hi Robyn,
    Keep safe & dry.
    Love the vignette with those wonderful pieces of stone fruit. Hmmm, Just what I need another thing to collect.
    The sampler is perfect. I can understand Marly's wish to get one. As for me, I already have too many irons in the fire but ir would be a definite consideration.

    Oh....what wonderfully yummy colors....next to red, mustard, black and pumpkin are my second favorite! ;o) Sweet display in your cradle....I have a small doll cradle too (not as beautifully colored as yours), and always struggle with what to put in it (besides, uh...a doll), and where to display it..... (Wanna come to my house and help me decorate???) And love the Pineberry Lane piece....I am so tempted with that one, but have so many waiting in the wings already, and am making no progress on anything. Did you stitch that - or is that Wendy's work??? (Whoever did, it's gorgeously worked....) Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin

    Hard to believe but it's that time when our thoughts turns to fall. Your display in the cradle is beautiful and I can't wait to see you decorate it in true fall fashion. I love that stitchery piece.

    I hope that the storm will spare you. Stay safe. JB

    Oh I love all the pics! So pretty! I so want a piece of Shooner ware myself. And it's your fault. lol! Hope that storm passes you by -- I know the feeling of not trusting storms to be mild anymore. I feel the same way!
