Betty Lamp Tidy

A tidy is another word for riser...  The tidy gets the candlelight up where it helps you see.... I've set my table with one on each end and a hogscraper on each and it looks very nice. So if you don't have a Betty Lamp, no problem, any candlestick looks good.   I painted these in a dry, aged black paint.  The tops are a darkened natural. They measure approx.  6" X 3",  no two are turned identical. $65

We offered these on the last update but our  internet service went down so  I promised that we'd have more this update.  For the life of us, we can't get enough wood for more than 3 but was thankful our guy found this for us.  I'll add the measurements below them.  I think a small wheel of cheese would look so good in one especially for a buffet dinner.........................$89.00 ea.

I love it when Don makes these cups.  They have such an aged, grubby, chunky masculine look.   I can just picture them in an old tavern sitting on an old scarred table...  They are finished in a good aged, scrubbed surface.

SOLD

I'm sure many of you have seen my inspiration for this painting. It's in a lot of places on Pinterest. The neutral colors really appeal to me. The paper is stained and aged. The writing reads   Elizabeth Ann Wells was born July 10 in the year of our Lord 1794. Underneath the writing  are various floral designs.  The frame is old and from what I can see started out red, then gold, then black.  It's pretty chipped up and shows it's age but works great with this folky little painting. Measures: 4 1/2 X 6".....$95
