Memory Frames

Here at The Prairie Preservationist

we come across out-dated items

and try to think of ways to make them useful

and beautiful again...

(Letters & Lace Blog post on Sall's Country Life)

when this over-sized ugly yellow pine frame,

and a pile of tattered and stained linens came in

we supplied a little bit of new Tim Holtz fabric

and some black Old Towne chalk-style paint

and "VOILA!"

A beautiful Vintage Memory Frame

to display old pictures, postcards, letters

jewelry, etc....

A Fun project piece of art.

Now on our 

list of future workshops!

Look for this one of kind piece at our store soon

and listed on our new Website

Chalk Style Paint Class This Week!

Thursday Night 2/25/16

6:30 p.m.

Example from our November/ Holiday Class.

Hittin' The Bottle Class Night

 Some glass bottles

are just too pretty

to throw out...

Why DO they put whiskey 

in such pretty bottles anyway??

We had fun

turning empty

glass bottles into 

works of art...

With a little paint,

a new label,

and a little ribbon...

the transformation

is quite 

impressive...

We had a good time

"Hittin' the Bottle"

with our paint, brushes

and

creative minds!

You don't need to be 21

to be artistic!

Have you shopped for your Valentine yet....

or are you springing 

for the usual candy and flowers

at the last minute?

In case you want 

to make this Valentines Day

a MEMORABLE one...

Try some ideas

from The Prairie Preservationist...

First, call and make dinner reservations...

then wrap up some fun Vintage Jewelry...

or if she's not into bling,

How  about a gift certificate for one

of our Chalk Painting Classes

or other fun workshops...

Let her know how much she inspires you

and how much you "wooly" care about her...

It doesn't have to be complicated 

At The Prairie Preservationist

we like to make it easy...

Thoughtful and Simple...

Sing a love song...
