Primitive Folk Art by Old World Primitives
Handmade Primitive Dolls and Ornaments
WSOAPP will be hosting a Holiday Open House from November 7th – December 10th. Be sure to stop by and enter our giveaway for a $50 gift certificate that will be redeemable in any WSOAPP Market Street Shoppe!
As you click through individual shops in the marketplace during that time, you will also be able to sign up for chances to win additional prizes. This should be a fun way to begin getting into the holiday gift giving spirit!
Santa Claus is comin’ to town! I just added this new primitive doll to the Old World Primitives Etsy shop – a robed Santa carrying a Christmas stocking. The sweet annie in Santa’s stocking came from Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm in Pennsylvania (I never miss their delightful Harvest Festival).
Santa is SOLD, thank you!
Although I have started making Christmas items already, I am still having fun getting into the Halloween spirit and enjoying the season. Last night I went to the Great Jack-O’-Lantern Blaze in Hudson Valley, NY. It featured over 4,000 individually hand-carved, illuminated pumpkins on display in the form of dinosaurs, pirates, snakes, spiders, mummies, an undersea aquarium, grave angels (my favorite part!) and more. Below are some of the photos that I took at the event that came out well enough to be recognizable (it was dark and spooky! which meant that sadly many of my favorite parts of the display didn’t photograph well).
SOLD, thank you!
Today is the 7th of the month, which means that the WSOAPP Market Street Shoppes have all been updated with new goodies. The primitive sheep pictured above is available in my Old World Primitives WSOAPP shoppe now. In celebration of WSOAPP’s first anniversary on October 2nd, many Market Street Shoppe listings this month will include something made of paper. My sheep wears a stained, cinnamon-dusted paper label.
I listed a new item in my Old World Primitives Etsy shop last night – a bag of primitive candy cane ornaments. They had sold by this morning, so I have listed them again. 🙂
I was also delighted to find that my newest set of vintage style Halloween ornaments is featured in a new Etsy treasury today – I love little surprises that brighten my day!
Happy Fall! I just finished a primitive folk art Halloween doll set – a witch with a pointy hat and a pointy nose holding her cat. The pair are available now on Old World Primitives and in the Old World Primitives Etsy shop.
SOLD, thank you!
This will be my last Halloween themed creation for awhile, now I am off to start working on some Christmas items.
Now that I am back from climbing mountains, I would like to announce that the WSOAPP Market Street Shoppes are now officially open for business! You can either click on each member’s avatar or click on our business name links in the right hand sidebar to visit our shoppes. My new witch make-do is now available for sale in my Old World Primitives WSOAPP shoppe.
WSOAPP also has our first advertisement on page 89 of the Early American Life Christmas issue, which just hit newsstands and subscriber mailboxes this week. Early American Life has been one of my very favorite magazines for awhile now, so I am so excited to have our group’s ad featured on one of its pages.
I am so excited that I was chosen as one of the SIX lucky winners in the Soft in the Head blog giveaway! It was so sweet of Pam to add an additional three prizes to the three that she was already giving away. Here is Pam’s photo of my prize. 🙂
Thank you, Pam!!
Also, just a reminder that the Grand Opening of the WSOAPP Market Street Shoppes will be taking place on September 7th, just 4 days from now. Be sure to check out what we have to offer this coming Sunday! Old World Primitives will be closed starting tomorrow while I take a week long holiday, but I will be back on September 12th to resume responding to inquiries and shipping orders. Have a great week, and good luck to all of my fellow WSOAPP members next week!
