BITTERSWEET PASTIMES by Debbie Garlem
Sweet Spring Treats for March! This month I have created two different sets especially for the pfattmarketplace.com.
Please be sure to view the little slideshow at the bottom of the page for more pictures of each set.
Harris and His Little Cart
Harris and his little cart full of Spring goodies will bring a sweet touch of spring to your home or office. Harris is pulling the little vintage cart full of painted wood eggs and two little woolen sheep. Harris was made specifically to fit between the handles of the cart. He stands about 16” tall and is made from painted and stained cotton. He wears a blue jacket, gold wool trousers, a gold patterned shirt and striped bow tie. His eyes are painted. His nose and mouth are stitched. The two little sheep are made from stained wool. They have little painted wood legs, wool collars and stand about 6” tall. I’ve painted the little eggs in natural colors and flecked them with specks of burnt umber. The little wooden cart is about 12” long. I just love that cart! Harris and the little sheep are my own design. Harris will come signed and dated. (The little sheep are too little for a signature!) The price for this One-of-A-Kind Harris and His Little Cart Set is $135 plus $9.00 shipping in the US 48 States. All others please email me for a shipping quote. paul.garlem@verizon.net

A Sweet Spring Treasure Box
I found this great little hinged wooden box on one of our antiquing weekends. I love the rich patina of the wood and the fact that it has a hinged lid. I thought it would be nice to make a little Spring Treasure box out of it. So I painted some Mache’ eggs and made some little chicks from wool. I added some green excelsior inside the box. I took some pretty beige and brown ribbon and tied it to the lid so that I could place the vintage postcard in the center. After Easter, it would be easy to slip out the postcard and replace it with one of your own or perhaps a vintage photo and fill the box with some of your treasures. You can always untie the ribbon and remove it as well. The beautiful box is approximately 12” long by 6” deep by 2 ½” tall (closed lid) or 7” tall as shown with the lid open. The 3 chicks are about 4 ½” tall. The 9 eggs are 2 ½” long. The Sweet Spring Treasure Box is $52.00 plus $8.50 shipping in the US 48 States.
