Featured Seller, a Hostess Cupcake Yarn Wreath and Holiday Shopping

Yum.  A hostess cupcake sounds perfect this morning.  Actually, why don't you grab one for a sweet treat and go check out the front page of Etsy today at noon central time? Etsy has done me the great honor of making me the featured seller for the days around Thanksgiving.  With the many amazing stores on such a lovely site, I am so grateful.  xoxo Agnes

Painting All the Live Long Day

Allow me to introduce a few little hand painted pals.  The peg doll couple are out in the cold wintry day taking their acorn for a walk...  the snowman is the cold wintry day!  He is just having a grand old time surrounded by big, shiny Christmas lights.  Goodness they take a while to paint and I have to use the tiniest brush you ever laid eyes on, but the details are all there down to the last polka dot and wink.  All in all a cheery group, wouldn't you say?  xoxo Agnes

Whoville

I was looking through Google images for photos from the set of the Grinch and stumbled upon these two pictures ages ago.  I am afraid I have forgotten the sources for them, but if you know who shot them, can you let me know?  In any case, don't you just love this time of year?  When it starts getting chilly out and we can start watching the Grinch?  I love both of them, the original animated one and the one with Jim Carrey.  Brilliant fun both.  Don't you just love little Cindy Lou Who? xoxo Agnes
