Hi, everyone. Remember on Sunday I told you I was going to be hosting a give-away. Well, it's for none other than a fabulous Ramsign. This is your chance to win one of these fantastic high quality porcelain signs with a vintage look and feel just like those French enamel address signs we all love.
One of my followers will win this sign or one just like it. The winner can choose any house number sign (not name sign or address plaque) with one to five numbers of any size and design like the ones you see in this post.
The give-away will run from today January 23 through and including Wednesday, January 30, and I will announce the winner on Thursday, January 31.
To enter, you must be a follower of Little Miss Maggie and leave a comment on this post. For an additional entry "like" Ramsign on Facebook and come back and let me know you did.
Just so you know, I am not being compensated in any way for this endorsement. Ramsign asked me to participate, and I wanted one of my wonderful followers to have the opportunity to win one of these beautiful signs. In fact, if I want one, I have to purchase it for myself. So good luck to all who enter, and while you're waiting for me to announce the lucky duck who wins one of these signs, be sure to visit Ramsign's website so you can start picking out your prize.
Happy Tuesday everyone. I shared with you on Sunday that I took my second workshop with Christie Repasy on Saturday and instead of doing roses our group voted for painting a bird. It's a funny thing about getting like minded women together. They instantly bond and become fast friends. In my first class with Christie, I met three other women who were driving as far as I was to attend this workshop which was 125 miles one way.
It just so happened that they live about 10 miles from me so we carpooled to the second workshop. The trip went three times as fast and we visited all the way down and back.
In my first workshop with the rose painting, Christie had to help me a lot and, of course, my painting was the better for it. This time I did it all by myself, and although it's not the best little birdie in the bunch, I am so proud of it because it was all my doing. The mere fact I did not need any assistance made me pleased as punch.
There were six of us who opted to do the bird and I photographed three of our paintings. They are all different even though we used the same model photograph. Mine is the middle one. If you ever have an opportunity to take one of Christie's classes, please do. She is a lot of fun and an excellent teacher. She is totally willing to share her knowlege and skills and boy is she talented. She will be in Arizona in February doing two days of instruction.
And last but not least, you know I love to do tablescapes, and yesterday I went to Michael's Crafts to pick up some supplies and they had spring colored charger plates for $1.99. I only bought two each of three of their colors because I will mix and match, but this is a really good deal so I thought I would pass it along in case anyone is setting an Easter table. They also had pink.
Thanks so much for your visits.

Hi everyone, I have had a crazy weekend. I attended another art class with Christie Repasy this weekend. I'll try to get my bird art photographed to share with you this week. Christie's classes are so much fun and I have made some great new friends in the class and have signed up for another one very soon. In the mean time I wanted to share some more photos from the Craft and Hobby show I attended last week.
Old luggage, pulleys and vintage scales are very popular these days. Did you notice what the Eiffel Tower above is made out of? It's little boxes. Isn't that cute? Below I just love this vintage dress form covered with old mattress ticking.
Vintage sewing machines, film reels and old vintage clocks complete the vignette below.
The next photo is a little over the top for me, but if it was scaled down a tad I think I would really like it. It's fabric roses cascading down a lampshade. Great concept, but I think less is more might work better for me. I can't believe I actually just wrote that! I'm usually thinking if three is good 10 must be better. Right?
Bird cages, old fans, vintage clocks with big faces are great in this following vignette. I think I even see another vintage scale here.
Burlap bunnies with huge ears are great for the season.
And last but not least, here are some cute altered bottles and jars. I finally got my new Facebook page link on my sidebar thanks to Karen Valentine. Karen is great to work with. You can contact her through karenvalentinedesign.com if you need a little tweaking here and there or if you want a complete redesign. Karen also has a great blog, My Desert Cottage.
Stay tuned for more. You will never guess what an umbrella and a chandelier have in common! Thanks for visiting.
