Announcement
“Inside” you will find delightful hand painted, barnwood items and gourds, all hand painted by me.
I specialize in Santas, but also do loads of Halloween, which I paint all year. I also do some wildlife and fantasy creatures such as leprechauns, as well as scarecrows.
All items are AS SHOWN and READY TO SHIP.
If you would like more information, please read my profile and shop policies.
***All my pieces are hand painted, and gourds are OOAK (one of a kind) Gourds will last indefinitely. Barnwood can be duplicated, see FAQ for more. NO guarantees on board size, color, or dimensions. Smaller designs may be done on a larger board if desired.
***INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING IS AVAILABLE. Shipping time is an estimate only. There is NO processing time for items in stock, but it may be several days before I can get to the post office, up to a week.
I hope you find what you’re looking for among these one of a kind works of art. Be sure to click on thumbnails or arrows. You can also view my sales.
PLEASE restrict your custom requests to Santas, wildlife, Halloween, or fantasy creatures. Please ask for birds other than cardinals and chickadees. New requests will go to the back of the line! No longer accepting custom gourd orders.
***Shipping has skyrocketed as of late, so be aware of sticker shock.

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders
No longer taking custom gourd orders. Please purchase in a timely manner after being notified of its availability. If you are delayed or no longer interested, please let me know within one week. I will send multiple messages reminding you to complete your purchase. If I have not received a response you will be notified that your name will be removed from the item reserved for you. I appreciate that things happen, and I will gladly put a hold on your item if requested.
Do you sell wholesale, have coupons, or offer discounts?
No.
Can I paint/copy one of your items?
NO. IMPORTANT: Intellectual Property Policy on all artwork: Please ask if you wish to download images. Images are subject to copyright and intellectual property laws. DO NOT COPY. All art in my shop is unique and original. This extends to my original and unique style. It is a crime to copy original artwork. This is a shop policy.
Do you use/sell patterns?
I do not use patterns and do not sell my designs.
Can I resell your items?
Items are not for resale. I sell strictly retail. This is a shop policy
Do you giftwrap or use special packaging?
No fancy packaging, I recycle plastic bags, end roll newsprint and boxes, along with packing peanuts. It saves the earth, and more importantly, it keeps your costs down.
Do you take custom orders for boards?
I occasionally do special orders via Etsy Convos, LIMITED TO: Santas, Halloween, some wildlife, and fantasy creatures such as leprechauns and scarecrows. Please be patient, as there is just one of me. :) Sometimes I get backed up or have things that need doing besides art.
To customers who have requested something specific, please purchase in a timely manner after being notified of its availability. If you are delayed or no longer interested, please let me know within one week. I will send multiple messages reminding you to complete your purchase. If I have not received a response you will be notified that your name will be removed from the item reserved for you. This is a shop policy.
Can I get the same size and shape as my other boards?
Barnwood is old and unique. Sometimes I run out of a particular width and length. NO guarantees on size, shape, thickness or color. They have knots, nail holes and cracks, giving them character. Some are rougher than others, so some will be less detailed of necessity. Some may be warped or bowed, can't help that!
Your shop has an item that is sold out, will you be doing more?
I do not keep items in stock, each new item is unique, unless someone requests another. Doing the same piece multiple times limits creativity, and I truly prefer making new creations. "Duplicates" are limited to 4 copies MAX. Please keep in mind, everything is hand drawn and painted, so an “exact” duplicate is impossible, although I will do my best to recreated what you want.
Copies apply to barnwood only. Changes are acceptable.
Be aware that since Etsy decided to show the price of sold items, prices will increase over time.
