Pyrography Portraits

I'm thinking I was quite lucky to come across such a unique pair of antique pyrography portraits. Although I was sorely tempted to keep these ladies for our own collection they were purchased with shop funds and into the shop they must go! You can read all about 'em right here.

First Grade

Lizzie officially started the first grade this week and photographic documentation was taken.

Gourd Portraits

Several miniature gourds have been adorning our mantle this autumn since we picked them up at the pumpkin patch in October. I realized I'd never shared these portraits I took of them (and Lizzie's pumpkin) last month. They will soon be replaced by other seasonal decorations. Time has indeed passed quickly during this busiest of seasons here at Sushipot.

French Portrait Plaques

I finally decided to do something with these postcards and listed a pair of French portrait plaques in the shop last night. Jeanne D'Arc and Comtesse D'Artois are the first of these portraits but more are in the works. Have a beautiful weekend!

French Portrait Postcards

This collection of postcards portraying historical figures of France caught my eye while browsing Etsy vintage late at night a few weeks ago. It was an impulse purchase (confession time!) at Journey and Landscape but one that I do not regret in the least. They are lovely postcards--printed on rich, creamy, deckled paper--and I'm to torn on whether to make use of them in my work or save for a day when I can afford to frame up the group in its entirety.
