Folk Art for Winter & Holidays

I love Christmas, so I leave my Christmas pages running all year long.  You can have your pick of the lot any month of the year, then just pack it away until December and rest assured that it won't get sold before you get it at Christmas time! Each hand-painted item is a signed and dated, one-of-a-kind treasure (except for the hand-painted soaps) . . . I  will not duplicate it. When you buy one, you've got the first and only one! Be sure to check out my Hand Hooked page for seasonal goodies there as well!

Click the link to open the full photo of all the designs. Each design is number-keyed to the drop down box selections. Want something special painted on YOUR soap? Just email & inquire!

These hand painted soaps will give your bathroom and kitchen a very special country touch.

Holidays and Everyday designs available.

I start with name-brand soaps (all soaps are now painted on rectangular bars - ovals are no longer available, but the designs are still available). I paint the design on one side. Each bar comes in its own cellophane package!  A fun and thoughtful gift item, too! Fabulous stocking stuffers!!

What a great snowman! Here he is complete with pine branches as arms and hair! The snow is stuck in his boughs and he is happy as can be. He is painted on a maple Shaker box with finger laps and brass tacks - nicely constructed. A great little treasure box to fill with holiday goodies, or to use as the wrapping for a gift - and as part of the gift itself! Signed, dated, and varnished for protection and durability. Measures 5 inches across and 2 inches high.

These soaps actually hold up very well when used from the bottom side - but most customers tell me they will never use them, just want them for decorative purposes. They are painted with non-toxic acrylic paint, and sealed with a non-toxic fixative spray to help hold the design on the soap. Make your selections below . . .
