Crow Door Hanger

This is truly a One of a Kind! This is an OLD cupboard door that I found at the market. I have sanded it and painted it and added some hooks. I painted the “Crows Gather Here” on it and antiqued it and it turned out great! I am not even sure what to call it…it isn’t really a sign, it isn’t really a coat hanger, but what it is....is Really Cool:)

It is dented and scratched and aged to perfection all on it’s own. It measures 11-1/4 inches tall and 18-1/2 inches wide. I left the hinges on it and you can hang it that way or you can hang it from the rusty wire I attached to it. There are two acorn type hooks attached, they are cast iron and made to look old. The back is just painted black…just to make it all one color back there.

This hanger is heavy so the shipping is figured on USPS Parcel Post. It can take up to NINE days to get to you so please keep that in mind. I will ship within 24 hours. If you would like me to figure different shipping for you let me know. Thanks!

BoBo Rabbit & Miss Clucky

A Kentucky Primitive Pattern.Made of Osnaburg that is painted and stained and rubbed with cinnamon. There is a lot of detail to these dolls. She has a pinch stitched nose, and stitched mouth. Miss Bobo is taking her chicken “Miss Clucky” to town to sell some of her prized brown eggs. Times may be tough, but she must present herself like the lady she is!

Miss Bobo has put on her “Sunday go to Meetin’ ” Jacket complete with her little corsage of Sweet Annie and a Pip Berry. She has combed her tuft of sheep’s wool hair, and she has her bucket of nice Brown Eggs, Miss Clucky’s finest! (The bucket is wood and I have added some moss and pip berries for eggs) Why, if she could she would wear mascara on her eyelashes above her beautiful eyes made of rusty bells!

Miss Clucky is dressed too! She is also made of Osnaburg, perfectly stained. She has a beautiful comb of red floss, she is wearing a necklace of thick thread with a rusty bell, and a leash of thick twine. She has a blanket throw adorned with a little Sweet Annie too. She does not stand on her own twig legs, but she does lean on Bobo.

Bobo is nearly 15 inches tall and Miss Clucky is about 6 inches tall. Bobo is rag stuffed all except for her face which is fiberfill. I just love these dolls and I had the best time making them with all their “extras”. They will go just great in your prim home!
