Handpainted Invitation & Mattress Pouncestick
     
This wedding invitation was matted with a watercolor painting in the newlyweds custom color scheme. $50,w/o frame.
 Don't feel foolish if you can't figure this one out. I invented it...it is a "Mattress Pouncestick". It's like a sachet on an oak branch, but includes mattress powder (w/o talcum), which is deposited onto your mattress when you pat it on. The heavenly scents rise through your sheets keeping them fresh longer...very soothing,  to  suggest  sweet dreams. (For extra sweet  dreams, tuck  a sachet into your pillowcase.) $25,until they become verrrry popular.
In the "olden days" we used to pounce perforated patterns onto signs to be painted, rather than risk scratching them tracing over carbon paper. We used powdered chalk, usually blue, in a sock to transfer the pattern. That's probably where I got this idea. Glory to God.Back.
