  3. What nice things for your giveaway..
    The folkart reminds me of my great grandmother and everything she treasured ..I remember her making me aprons when i was five or six so I could help and look like a big girl..not to mention keep my dress clean. We didn't have a lot of money and I did not have a closet full of dresses like the kids today.

    I guess the following sums up folk art:

    Folk art is not art as most people would think. You would not find it in the galleries of New York. You find it in people's homes, garages, and attics. The best way to describe folk art is to say it is the craftsmanship of people from a local area which depicts the everyday life and times they shared. From the weather vane on the barn to the handcrafted rag dolls the children played with, that is something you can not put a price on.


    I AM A FOLLOWER ALREADY

  7. Dear MizMollye...
    Please enter me in your contest!!!
    That doll reminds me of one my Gramm had sitting on the back of her sofa...she sat on a crocheted doily that her Mamma had made for her...oh, if only my mom would have been her oldest, maybe it would have eventually been handed down to me...but it was not to be.
    Bless you for bringing those memories out of the dusty attic that is my brain :D

  10. Happy 250 PLUS. I'm in! Who wouldn't love this giveaway? As for folk art, I like the primitive feel of it all. I feel like it's so childlike, I could even make it.
