COTTAGE CLOSET

Summer is a busy time here in the studio. I am working steadily on stocking the shelves in my cottage closet for my new web shoppe coming soon. Just thought I would give you a sneak preview of the new treasures on the way. New items coming will be a mix of shabby romantic to folk art and holiday. I am having so much fun!!

This sweet little item is a custom design for a dear customer. She brought me this last week. Debbie, it's finished. Busy bees on your old matchbox holder!


Sweet Victorian Nest Tray and Oval keepsake treasure box.


Blue Rose Wood flower cart and Pink Rose and Hydrangea covered server/candy dish!


Large Cottage Spoon, Tuscan Tray,Pink Toile Roof Bird House and Wood Candle Sticks.




And lots more to paint! So back in the studio I go!!

Also, wanted to mention that many blog friends have had trouble visiting around blog land. It seems that a window pops up that reads "site aborted" I have experienced this trying to visit many friends and others have told me the same thing happens to them. Hope it is fixed soon. I'll keep trying to visit and till next time~
Blessings always, Celestina Marie

That match holder is adorable!
I had some problems and I switched to viewing with Firefox. It seems to work fine. I think the problems are with blogger and Internet Explorer...
Have fun this week!

Hi Celestina Marie,

Your paint work is wonderful and you are so talented.
Love the busy bees on that lovely old match holder.

I sometimes have trouble with leaving a comment and have to do it via
Safari as I can't do it via Firefox that I normally use.

Have a happy week painting.

Hugs

Hi friend,
I have to say I love the Tuscan tray. It's so me and my decor. The match box tin is just adorable. I need to get back to painting more. I love your spoons. Are they regular silverware? So cute.
Have a great week!

Hi Sweet Celeste!

I have had so much fun catching up on your posts! And I feel so honored that I got to see your Cottage Cupboard in person!! Your items are all so fabulous- the grape tray is so gorgeous Celeste. I feel so blessed to have met such a true artist.

I'll be trying your summer recipes. The bean/pea salad sounds wonderful and different from anything I've made. And the dip, mmmmmm!

That was a lovely post of your shabby chic guestroom but it's even prettier in person! Again I feel so blessed to have seen your decorating skills. Your other guest room is equally gorgeous. Hope you will be sharing that with everyone also.

And your "patio" party was lovely, however I got to sit at you beautiful dining table and eat & chat with you have an incredible visit at your home. What wonderful memories!

Please tell Miss Beazy we said Happy Birthday and give her a burfday hug from me!! I just love her!

I am reliving my vacation over & over in my mind. I have such beautiful photos in my brain that no camera could capture. You, Larry and Miss Beazy and your lovely home are part of them. Thanks again!

love & hugs, Sherry

Oh Celeste, everything is just beautiful!! I love that candy dish! I am so into hydrangeas right now. The bee skep and bees are just too cute for words! So Summer-Y!! Love them :) I have learned that I can visit all the blogs I couldnt visit if I try them on firefox. You should give it a try :) I think it is an Internet Explorer issue :)

Love you lots! Kiss miss Beazy for me :)

Hello Celeste!

You've been busy and made lots! I didn't know there is such as a matchbox holder. it looks so whimsy with the bee :-)

I know you've been painting these beautiful pink roses in your works but seeing the lady on your previous post (the one you painted on her back and looking through a mirror) and seeing her sweet face, and then another one you made with the tray . . . Their faces are so sweet to look at. Such sweet faces (both the ladies and the children). It's soothing. :-)

Shirl said...

Hello Celeste, Oh how pretty all your new items are. Those bee's are just too cute. I loved your previous post of Miss Beazy swimming, she is just soooooooo sweet! Happy Birthday to her! Those recipes look yummy. I'll have to give them a try. I know all about those twisters, I used to live in Kansas and they were so scary!
Love ya, Shirl
