Most of you know that I have four sons. Well over the years my cute little treasures have been called all kinds of funny names! Most of the time, while they were growing up, I didn’t have many girly things! But the little what knots I had were always a source for jokes!
Now I have LOTS of cute little things!
These shelves are above my crafting desk!
Most everything came from thrift stores or friends!
Those of you who love Elizabeth’s creations at Creative Breathing will recognize this precious peg doll! She is SO creative and her dolls are special!
And the art above my desk is by Catherine Holman.
She is one of my absolute favorite Folk artists!
You can visit her blog HERE and her Etsy store HERE!

Did you see the book review that I did yesterday?
Go HERE to read it!
I’m thankful for all of my blog buddies! ♥
Enjoy the holiday week ahead!

Wonderful displays. Valerie
How wonderful to have four blessings to enjoy, Diane.
My sister has 5 sons and I have a girl and a boy, we had so much fun together when our seven blessing were young.
Thank you for sharing your delightful 'what nots'.
I love folk art too! Your treasures are wonderful. It's funny how as we get older and our children grown ups, it gives us room to be that little girl we used to be. I like you as a grown up and I know I would have loved you as a little girl.
Karen
I love your what-nots! And your art work is beautiful, she is a talented artist but I think you should come to New England is it is folk art in real life!
My kids are just starting to pick on me about silly things, it makes me laugh as I would never imagine the stuff they find funny!
wonderful post...very nice folk art. Ill have to go check her art out

Good morning! I now remember that you had sons..but for some reason I had totally forgotten and picture you with daughters. Heavens, no wonder you love dolls!
I still have some my girls had.
I collection of little folk art characters is so...girly. You are most definitely a girly girl! :)
Love your little friends and critters and such!
Hi Diane!
The Catherine Holman prints are so pretty! I like all your whimsical decorations..they make you home a joyful place.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Your crafts room is wonderful. I also love Catherine Holman's art work.
I bet your sons secretly love your collections and every time they see something like that they think of their sweet mom.
I had lots of dolls while I was growing up and I still have some of them...and I still love them. I've also attended doll shows and had the designers sign dolls for me. I guess there's part of me that will never grow up!
You have a charming collection.
What an inspirational place to work - I love Catherine's folk art. Thanks for sharing our linky party on your sidebar {big beachy hugs to you!}
Hope you & yours have a lovely Thanksgiving.
Hugs,
Marie
What treasures! So glad you have a cool space for them all. Over here things tend to rip, tear, or break completely! UGH!
Blessings, Joanne
I love that folk art! Beautiful prints! :)
What fun. You really do have lots of goodies. Of course I spotted the Russian nesting dolls. Enjoy...
Diane, I chuckled when I read that your sons gave a name to your cute treasures. I still have "Mr. Lemon" who proudly sits amongst the containers in my Spice Rack and smiles whenever my sons gaze at him. Nice treasures you have! :)
Happy Thanksgiving!

They dare to tease their mother? Oh my! I adore Catherine Holman's work. Wish she'd do a calendar!
I love your entire Whatnot and rinkydinks shelf!! :-)
And especially the little angel with the braided hair!
Happy Thanksgiving to you!
I only have one boy and love his creative little mind ... can't imagine what it would be like with four. What a champion you are.
What sweet treasures! Thanks for sharing them with us, Diane :)
Oh you have a collection of wonderful wonders!
Four boys!!! What a blessing, you are most certainly the queen. :)
I love your display and I too am so thankful for all my blog buddies. I have tags and cards sent by several of them displayed throughout my home and it brings me so much encouragement.
Thank you for stopping by, LD, glad you liked the cookbooks on top of the fridge. ;) Have a very blessed Thanksgiving.
Much love!
Mom always called them what nots or dust catchers, but how boring life would be without them! Love your craft area! Happy Thanksgiving week!!!
Everything looks so pretty! You have such a great collection!
Your lovely crafty place makes me smile!!! So does that great buy on the lantern, what a treasure!
