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. There is only ONE of each of these pieces - please do not order more than one! 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!

Antique Tin Skillet- Hand painted with Thanksgiving Snow Pilgrims	Hand-painted Soap Christmas and Everyday Designs!	Click the photo at the left to view an enlargement of the soap 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. I start with name-brand soaps (all soaps are now painted on rectangular bars - ovals are no longer available). I paint the design on one side. 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. Each bar comes in its own cellophane package! A fun and thoughtful gift item, too! Fabulous stocking stuffers!
A very cool old tin skillet got a new life when I painted this pair of snow pilgrims in it. The verse says, "Give Thanks for new friends - punkin' pie and prayer." The back is also painted - click here to see it! A Barb Jones design hand painted by Sally Van Nuys	Make your selections below . . . Price $6.95 each
