Robes of Earth / Penny Elizabeth Neil

Found this via Flickr. Australia based Penny Elizabeth Neil has three Etsy shops.
Sparrow Salvage- new shop with a more sparse, primitive feel.

Little Brown Sparrow (the old shop) for found-object jewelery, paper collage and more, all made from salvaged and antique things...

The Dark Woods for ragged taggle clothing, jewelery, goods and chattels with a dark, sparkly, earthy fairy edge.

See her profile on her Flickr profile. Wow.Original and mystical.

I have been taking Holly's (decor8 blog)"Blogging Your Way" online class.(Love it) I've really been digging deep into my psyche to uncover what I really want this blog to be about. I have "ideas" and I will be fine tuning them, hopefully to bring to my readers something more in depth. I have dabbled with this blog for over three years.It is time to step it up..ready?

My First Blog Post Nov..2006

Saturday, November 25, 2006

All of my life I have been passionate about home interiors. It has been the canvas of my art.
I made a successful career with a retail store called "The Country Goose" For 13 years we supplied a variety of home furnishings. Our main design focus was "Country" in every form. Americana, English, French, and a constant rotation of eclectic furnishings and accessories.
The next chapter of my on going pre occupation with "Stuff" I became a manufactures rep. I had 40 different lines of Home Furnishings & Gifts. I sold to all the stores in my area many of whom I knew from being in the retail business.I did a lot of shopping in the process.
I was then fortunate to travel the world extensively for 5 years.Seeing many beautiful homes. Country estates, farmhouses,hunting lodges and some of the finest Hotels and Inns. Also, some not so glamorous places like tents and yurts. From my experience traveling I learned more about lifestyle and entertaining, the beautiful surroundings were there to support and create the feel of warmth, friendship, and to show it's soul the personality of the owners.
I have a bad habit of going to garage and estate sales. I cannot pass up a great piece of furniture, art piece, china, flatware, textiles, and anything else I feel is worthy. So................. I have a place where I can list my great finds.I like to call junk. Welcome to my world. Have fun.
