The Peppermint Gang

These whimical fellows are members of The Peppermint Gang. They are all an original design that I keep adding characters too. Next year I hope to have another one created for your enjoyment.

The First in the series is: Peppermint Joe

This little snowman started it all. He is made of muslin and so is his huge candy cane. His legs, arms and candy cane are painted in stripes in a deep red. He has three black buttons sewn down the front of his tummy. The facial features are sewn in with pearl cotton and his carrot nose is sewn on too. He has a flannel scarf tied around his neck to keep him warm this winter.

The Second in the series is: Peppermint Claus

Peppermint Joe needed a sidekick, so I created Peppermint Claus. He is made of muslin and a heavy deep red fabric. His legs, arms and candy cane are painted in stries in a deep red as well. His wooly beard is sewn on and I have sewn on his nose and added his moustache. At the end of his red hat I have added a rusty bell and a sprig of greenery on his hat. His boots are painted black and his gloves are painted green.

The Third in the series is: Gingermint

So why not add to this family of peppermint people? Gingermint is made of brown flannel and is trimmed in white ric-rac just like yummy icing. Her facial features are sewn in black pearl cotton.

All three of the Peppermint Gang are weighted in the bottom to sit well. Each has a glittered candy cane and a hangtag with their names and # in the series. These characters are 15" tall and all three are sooooooo sweet.

Sometimes, I am a child at heart and I like to bring my dollies to life and you just ought to hear these three when they are all together. Such a noisy chatter.


You may purchase one, two or all three. Each of the Peppermint Gang is $25.00 Plus shipping.

Granny's Homemade Apple Pie





Wow! Looks good enough to eat! Can't you just smell it cooling on an open window seal or on the old black wood stove or cooling rack in your Granny's kitchen.

For your consideration, I have made this apple pie. No, it's not real......but it sure does look good.

This folk art apple pie is made from cotton batting for the crust and lattice. It have been coffee/vanilla stained and smells sooooo good. The apple slices are made from muslin that has been stained, painted, baked and sanded to give them their baked color. The black seeds have been stitched into every slice and there are 20 of them in the entire pie. This apple pie has been sprinkled with German glass glitter to look like sweet sugar. To finish off the pie, it has been sprinkled with real cinnamon, too. The pie is mounted in a metal pie tin. This apple pie is 15" across. This pie is an Oodoolekadoole design.

$33.00 price includes travel fare in the US.
