Red Plaid and Old Barn


I fell in love with this old "Scotch Kooler"~~it was a bargain due to some dents and dings~~~


Setting up this vignette in my office/craft room as a sample~~I'm taking most of these items to my booth today to spruce up with some reds and greens~~here is where I get messy in this little space of mine; then I box it up and off it goes (I'd like to think of this as my INSPIRATIONAL ROOM; it's more of a junk~treasure~filled space as I create and produce items for resale)~~
~~and look at the $3.00 vintage canvas oil painting signed and dated 1959~~does this not speak of Christmas?  I love this painting~~



I'm keeping the big ornate, wood frame~~painting it white for use in the dining room eventally~~the huge pinecone wreath will get a big bow and off to the booth this morning with the plaid cooler and greenery~~


Hobby has some lovely
"velvet" textured poinsettias~~the whites are fabulous; I used to not like poinsettias (real or faux)~~now I'm in love with this pretty holiday flower! 

Thanks for being here; I appreciate all your lovely comments and suggestions~~tell me what your projects are this week~~I need some motivation!

~Patty~


Fun and Inspiration at these parties~~see you there!

    I love this vignette. When I was a child we had a Scotch cooler, this brought back memories! And that painting! Perfect. xo

    Love the vignette! I kept a cooler like that on the steps of my last home (an old bungalow) filled with ice melt/ salt. It was functional and pretty. I also used a similar one to hold baked potatoes for a Parade of Lights party. LOVE them!

    I love your beautiful vignette and that $3 painting is such a treasure. I had a cooler like that a few years ago and now regret selling it...so cute.

    As one who collects Thermos, I adore the Scotch cooler. The painting is wonderful, too. My son would love to add that to his collection.

    After reading Tomie DePaola's Legend of the Poinsettia, it is my favorite holiday flower, too. But make mine fake, 'cuz the real ones make me sneeze. Will have to look for some of the white ones!♥♫
