April Fools Day!

Well here it is April, and April Fools day at that. It also happens to be my 20 something wedding anniversary! So I was thinking, what could I do in my CremeMagnolia Etsy Store that would be a great celebration for the month of April? I was in the shower and it came to me! I am offering a lay-away plan for all my antiques and photography! Don't know why I never thought of it before.

I have loads of traffic in my store (well March was a great month)and I feel that during these times, while shoppers may want to buy, money might be tight. So I'm offering a plan that will allow buyers to pay for their purchases in three easy payments through PayPal! My antique plates and photography are great gifts and we have Graduations and Mother's Day coming up. All the buyer needs to do is Convo me that they want to Lay-away and it's a done deal!

Here are some examples of what is offered in my CremeMagnolia Etsy Store!











Check out my CremeMagnolia Etsy Store and be sure to look at my antique plates and photography. Everything is authentic antique and the photography is 16x20 limited additions.

If you simply want to send me an email...that's great too! kmager@crememagnolia.net

Grand Giveaway of the Season

I've never participated in a giveaway so I thought I would make my first venture into this new world with aplomb and in concert with the last days of my March Madness Sale! My friends at Singing Three Little Birds are hosting the giveaway.

I chose one of my Fine Art Photograph Limited Addition Prints to giveaway for this event. The giveaway is called "Spring Peony" and was photographed by myself in 2009. It is printed 16x20 on archival paper and is signed and numbered.



You can enter the giveaway on Singing Three Little Birds blog! Good luck!!

Don't forget to check out my CremeMagnolia Etsy store as the final days of my March Madness 25% discount are coming to an end. I have several fine art photographs and many antique items for sale. My items make will make wonderful Mother's day and Graduation gifts!

Blatant Promotion March Madness!

As March draws to an end (one week left) I thought I would write about the CremeMagnolia Etsy Store March Madness sale going on now. It's not usually in me to blatantly promote, especially in my blog but there are some really great deals, especially fine art photography and antiques. I have created a 25% discount coupon for the entire store!

Before my March Madness sale began, I purposefully marked some items down and with the 25% discount these items are at or below my costs. Why? I've been a seller on Etsy for six months and want to introduce new customers to my store as well as clear some inventory for new summer listings. Repeat business is my goal - and cost or below is the cost of doing good business for me. This is without question my biggest sale of the year!

Some of the best deals are my Antique Calendar Plates and Fine Art Photography (on archival paper or canvas). I also sell hand cut mosaic tiles but to a very specific demographic.

Here are some examples of the best values in my store:


102 Year old Gibson Girl Calendar Plate


Fine Art Photograph 16x20 Magnolia Limited Addition Print


Antique Chintz Sugar Bowl


Monet style, Fine Art Photography 16x20 Limited Addition Print

I've seen a lot of sales on Etsy this month but none as deep as this opportunity! Please take a minute to check out my CremeMagnolia Etsy store and if you want to add a little beauty to your home or will need gifts this summer - now is the time to buy!

I'll announce tomorrow a huge giveaway hosted by my friend Singing Three Little Birds - it's big!! Really BIG!!

Merry March Madness

I rarely blog solely about my CremeMagnolia Etsy Store but this morning I wanted to share the huge sale I have going on right now. Since March is and always has been my best month of the year (both local and online) I decided to share the wealth with my Etsy clients and offer a 25%, yes twenty-five-percent discount on everything in my store. My inventory is very diverse...has to be, I'm a very diverse woman!

I sell hand cut mosaic tiles that are used by not only mosaic artists, but jewelry and altered art crafters as well. Here are a few examples:







Crafters are always looking for unique items to incorporate into their projects and in that vein I also sell designer glass gems.



Two of my passions are fine art photography and antique porcelain china. I love to photograph beautiful flowers and stills that interest me. I have two new sections in my store, one for antiques and one for art. The following are a few examples.





My photographs are 16x20" and are professionally reproduced by a processor in New York and available on both canvas and archival matte finish paper. Each is a limited addition, signed and numbered.

I have collected antique calendar promotional plates for many years. When they were first developed around the turn of the century, they were given to customers by businesses such as banks, grocery stores and the like. My offerings are either approaching 100 or over 100 years old! Below are two examples.





I hope you will drop by my CremeMagnolia Etsy Store and browse around during my March Madness Sale. I have something for everyone, especially if you need a unique gift!

Through the Eye of the Lens Three

In my blog yesterday I discussed photography for commercial purposes yet I have a proclivity to take photographs from the side of the road. I love rustic images that more times than not have no commercial value. In my Etsy Store I offer photographs that attract clients who want to decorate their homes or offices.

Today's photographs are some of my favorites as I was in most cases in the middle of nowhere and they just presented themselves to me.


Antique Rusted Tractor


Hubcap Art


Small Town America


Arkansas Barn Art


White Cow in Field


Arkansas the Natural State


Small Town Bargain Palace

Visit my Etsy Store for beautiful original Photgraphs and thank you for viewing my most favorite muse!

Throught the Eye of the Lens

I like art of all kinds but I especially love art that is created through the lens of a camera. I have thousands of images that one day will become art via print or canvas. Today I put several limited addition pieces in my Etsy Store that are some of my favorites. Over the years I have sold many of my photographs that now hang in client homes or offices.

All my photographs are original and copyrighted to protect not only myself but that of my clients.

I hope you enjoy what I see through the lens of my camera.


Peony in Spring


Monet Style Field of Flowers


Daisy times Three

Visit my CremeMagnolia Store as these prints are available on both Canvas and Kodak Archival Paper. Each photograph is a limited addition and comes signed, numbered and certificate of authentication.
