Come on in and have a cup of coffee. It is brewing all the time. Come with me on my treasure hunts and spend some time with me in my studio creating with our finds.

My traveling art tote
Hello everyone, I came across a Spring 2008 Somerset Studio Life article by Rebecca Sower. This artice inspired me so much. You know how you can look at a magazine and years later an article you just glimpsed at really inspires you? This couldn't have hit me at a better time. My mother in law is getting very feeble and can't be left alone so, I have been called on all the time to go and look after her when my brother in law has to leave for awhile. Anyway, it can get really boring, and I started dreading going over there. Then I came across that wonderful article. So here is my art kit that I can grab and go at a moments notice. Hope this inspires you to make your own. Have a great day. Diana

Hi, Thank you so much for visiting my Niles Antique show post. Just too much commercial stuff in a lot of the antique shows these days....there's a place for that somewhere else. It was lots of fun though. What a good idea you have here for a basket that's ready to go when you are. I can't think fast enough to put everything together when I'm in such a hurry. I hope you're able to get out to the Lodi Street Faire....it's always fun.
Hello,
Thanks for visiting me. My name is Diana. I love creating things with a vintage flare. You can usually find me out in my studio creating or changing the furniture around. (trying to work on that) I love to try different art mediums so I never get bored.
I love yard sales,flea markets and going to good thrift stores. Grab a cup of coffee and visit for awhile. I love getting to know new friends. You can email me at
pollywog2frog@netptc.net Please leave me a comment and let me know you were here.
This is a pic of the collage at the memorial service. There was a table set up with pics and things that my aunt had made.
True Love Cont.
This is a collage I did for my Aunt Doris. She and my uncle Clyde had been married for 55 years. When I was a child they took me in when my mother was ill. They showed me love and what family is supposed to be. My heart is so broken right now but I know she is with the Lord so that comforts me.
