The ornaments I finished today. They are all drilled and have their ribbons; and I got them listed on Etsy. I have a couple dozen at various levels on my paint bench. It's nice to get some done and open up some space!

A sneak preview of my okra ornaments. I didn't think far enough ahead on these and realized today, after I have several finished, that I have zero appropriate shipping containers for them since I have a couple over 8 inches long. 🤣It's always something.
Anyway, I have all the snowmen and an additional Santa (by far my favorite of the bunch so far) finished and am waiting to list them till I have the shipping boxes in my possession.
Plus, that will give me time to figure out pricing. Since their is nothing exactly like these out there, and I want to be fair to both myself and the buyer....I actually need the extra time to think on this.
Anyway, here are the additional ones I have finished. Plus, I finished one of my clothespin ornaments: I have snowmen, Santas, Jack Skellington, and Grinches base painted waiting to be finished.

I have some J SkellingTon and Grinch spoon and gourd ornaments that I cannot list on Etsy (copyright strikes could take my store offline). I typically sell these locally, but am not sure that arrangement will work out this year.
SO, I thought I would offer them here. I charge exact shipping by weight to your zip code, which is usually around $6.50 for one and $9.20 for 2 gourds or three spoons for the ground advantage service from USPS.
Local pickup is available. I accept Paypal, Zelle, Venmo, or from people I know in real life, we can do a check (or cash for local pickups).

The regular t-spoons are $15 each, and the round soup spoons are $18 (soup spoons cost me more to buy).

The gourd ornaments are $24 each and the small bottle gourd Jack is $20. I still have to buy the majority of the gourds I paint: I am just now getting them to grow reliably, but not in the quantities I need.

Everything is painted with acrylics and coated in multiple layers of satin or matte interior varnish.

Right now, I have the ones shown, but if you'd like a different color or design of these characters, just let me know. Thanks!

We decided to double our exposure with a presence on Etsy as well. Here is a link to our storefront.

Some more of the things we have available.

Grinch and Jack gourd and spoon ornaments available. The gourds range from $16 to $26 (I am stuck buying the dried gourds since our friendly neighborhood squirrel army suffers no gourds to live here), and the regular teaspoons are 16 and the round soup spoons are 18. Items may vary slightly from what is shown due to being freehanded at the time of painting. Hat and/or suit colors can be changed upon request. If shipping is needed, it will be by weight and zip code: I charge exact shipping only and no handling.
