I've been painting





A few little trays



A few little hors' d' oeu'vre trays.





They measure 9 inches long, 5.6 inches wide and
1 inch deep.





They're the perfect little serving dish.




Even large enough to hold a cup of coffee and a croissants.




You will find so many uses

Only $18 each in my Etsy shop




And just for fun I had to paint another "antique" Albarello.

  5. I noticed similar little trays in Crate and Barrel just before Christmas! They are perfect for small tidbits or a cup with a tidbit!

    Very refreshing, Gina!

    The older couple kissing is fun!!!

    By the way, the sweater vendor has gorgeous things. Thanks for sharing the site.

  6. Hi, Gina - I'm glad you're still using the leaf and lady bug motif (L&L) — I think of this as your new signature!

  9. Dear Catherine, I'm trying to paint a few practical items. Maybe less pattern and a little more white is in order.

  12. Hi Mary, You are right. These trays are very practical. I use them often and especially when we have friends over for cocktails.

  13. Dear Mark, Today I'm painting Bumblebees. Utah is the Beehive State. I'm starting to work towards our annual May celebration sale. Will probably paint a few more L&Ls. Even little kids like them.

  14. Hi Lala, I've made the decision to use a sparsely veined Carrara Marble for my countertops. We are going to the"big city" to look for just the right slab.
    I'm so glad that you like my little plates.

  18. Dear Val, That is why I don't mind spending a few extra dollars for a good hand knit sweater...they last forever and become part of you.
    How can I talk you into taking up porcelain painting again?

  19. Dear Ann, I don't have a Studio. I paint in a corner of my kitchen. That way I'm part of whatever else is going on. My kiln is in my basement, very handy. Works splendidly. I could take over the guest cottage and call it my Studio. But for now this is the perfect set-up.
