Welcome, nice to meet you, I am Sunny Smith, half the team effort of our little venture. Don and I live in the beautiful state of Washington, with our little Doxie named Missy.
We have gotten to the age of retirement although you'd never know it. Seems we are on the go more than ever. We have 3 grown children and 4 beautiful grandchildren, 2 boys & 2 girls.
I am a painter, something I truly love to do. I have been selling on ETSY since 2007 and for the last couple of years I have met some of the most wonderful people. I started out with mainly wood in ETSY but decided I wanted to add the glass and paper as well as wood. We do the home shows here in this beautiful state we live in through the warmer months and concentrate on ETSY when it is just too cold to travel.
I love detail and the smaller the better. I am more of a whimsical painter than realistic but at times something pretty close to realistic sneaks in.
I also sell my artwork in a sweet little shop in Port Orchard Washington for over a year now. The two ladies who run this shop are just fantastic. As soon as I get new photos I will post the shop and all the particulars for everyone who is in my local area so you can pop on over and have a look.
Blogging is a lot of fun but takes away from creating so I have to admit it suffers. I try my best to get in here and at least write about whatever is new in our lives. Thank you for the emails they are truly appreciated and I always try to respond.
Please stay for awhile and browse and please drop us an email if you have any questions at all, we would love to hear from you. Just click these links below to go to our ETSY shop or to send us an email. Thanks so much Sunny

Fall Artisan Contest is over and I took 1st Place!

Last month I was entered into a Fall Artisans contest where I was one of the 15 finalists. Voting took place through the month and it was so much fun talking and telling everyone to go vote! The host is a very talented lady, Danielle from buddingcreations.etsy.com who sells the most beautiful beaded flowers on Etsy. I have to say I have hearted and admired a few of the pieces for a long time so when I entered I sure was hoping! The detail in her flowers is amazing, so are the colors. I fell in love with her beaded Hyacinth and drooled over the color as it was perfect for my dining room. So needless to say since I got my choice that is the one I picked. I am excited as can be and can’t wait to receive it. I will be patient cause I know this takes time to complete. I have called everyone I can think of to tell them “I Won” since my neighbors and friends saw the Hyacinth knew it was perfect for me. They couldn’t be happier for me either.
I was surprised at how many people still did not know of Etsy. Well they do now. They have seen my shop as well as buddingcreations so I hope they keep Etsy in mind when the holidays roll around. I will take a picture of my Hyacinth and post it to show you just how beautiful it is. Can you tell I am excited? :o) I sure wish to thank Danielle and all that took the time to go vote and check us all out. I am amazed at the talent that is in Etsy.

Again thank you for having this artisan’s contest and making such gorgeous flowers, you do have an amazing talent....Sunny
