It's Halloween at the Percy Manor!

Mr. Percy always gives me "the look" whenever I want to decorate for Halloween... in early September. But it's one of my #1 favorite days of the year, so I decided I'd wait a few weeks to get him eased in to it.

I went garage sale shopping Saturday, and found some great little Halloween decor finds! These homemade wooden stakes are so kitschy! I decided to buy them, and then upcycle them by painting them myself. We have an owl, a crescent moon, a skull and a bat. Props to the maker who spent time cutting these out, but didn't do quite as well on the painting skills.

Here is what I did to them:

I haven't finished the crescent moon yet, still sketching.

Art Show- First Friday Downtown Lakeland Florida + New Paintings

Black Swan Bazaar hosted an Artisan Market (Art Show) for August's First Friday in the streets of downtown Lakeland, along Kentucky Avenue and Bay Street. Tons of people were out and about for the "Back to School" themed event. I was posted in my spot on the corner of Kentucky and Bay with a perfect view of the band.

It was hot and muggy, but the excitement was contagious and everyone seemed to be having a blast.
