Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince

Pretty much everyone in my

family
are quite the
Harry Potter fans.
We've read the books
(multiple times)...
a few even have the audio books
that they listen to...over and over!

It was no surprise that my daughter
purchased
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
game.

Here's a brief preview of the game....

And...here's a link so you can get the best prices on Amazon!

New paintings listed...

Yay!
I finally got some new paintings finished!

These are my three latest paintings...
I've linked each picture to
the corresponding listing in my
Rustic Goth Etsy Shop.

I was really pleased with how these
turned out...
I do wished I could take better
photos.

Check out my new website.

While I was "on-internet-vacation"
I also set up a new little
Rustic Goth website.

It's a little free site
and nothing too fancy...
but, I am pleased with it.

I will be offering some of the
'no longer available'
Rustic Goth pieces
exclusively
through this little site.

Happy Fourth of July

Featuring Michael Jackson's (may he Rest in Peace) "Thriller".

New -- IN the Shop

Here are three New/old
pieces
now in my Rustic Goth Etsy Shop.
They are all prints of my original paintings
that have been digitally enhanced in
Photoshop.
I find that enhancing photos of my paintings
gives a cleaner print.

Jaime's Zazzle

Jaime has been putting quite a few pieces
in her Melancholy Dwelling Zazzle Store.

I love the shoes and anxious to
see what new
things she'll be putting in her shop.

Shop Update...

r

I have been working hard
creating and 're-creating' new pieces
for my Rustic Goth Etsy Shop.

I decided to put the shop
"on-vacation"
during the week that I knew my cable
would be intermittent.
(I think it isn't working any better now
than it was before...)

At that time, I was just going to
relist everything that was already in the shop
once my internet problems were corrected.
But...once I was 'removed' from the
daily operation of running the shop...it occurred to me
that I really need to make some changes.
So....I have!
A few of the old pieces will be
returned to the shop...
but quite a few pieces will no longer be
available in my Etsy Shop.

I wanted to have everything ready by July 1st...
then...
we received an 'invite' to go out of state..
to visit extended family during the week-end of the 4th.

Since I will actually be
On Vacation
I'm not sure if I will open my shop on the 1st...
(UPDATE -- I did re-open my Shop on the 2nd...)
or wait until I get back.
Or...knowing myself as I do...
I could just decide..
"what the heck...just reopen the shop
and fill it as I get pieces completed"...
..you just 'never know' with me..
I guess I'd better decide soon!
