I’m one of those people who sees something and thinks to himself, “I could make that.”
Case in point…this plywood “folk-art” witch.
I made that, yes, yes I did. I saw one in a boutique for $200. It was nothing more than a plywood shape with a witch painted on it. I had a jig saw, I had craft paint….and I had time. She turned out a little more “cartoony” than I had hoped…but I was still pretty darn proud.
That was about 10 years ago.
That was also the last time I did anything with her. My tastes have changed over the past few years and it’s a little sad that she has been out of sight for way too long now…
Just kinda hanging around in the old garage…actually, aging very nicely. The Texas heat has crackled the paint in a way that I could never duplicate intentionally.
Everyone should know by now that we have been feverishly cleaning out our garage in recent weeks. Scaling back on the stuff we don’t really need/use anymore. I couldn’t bear to just throw her away…..or even donate her to Goodwill. After a friend suggested that I try to sell her on Etsy; I wondered if anyone who reads our blog would be interested in her.
We’ve never done anything like this before…but we thought, “What the Heck”….
So, here’s the Deal-E-O.
If you want her….and will promise to give her the home she deserves. I will send her to you…I’ll even cover the shipping. (You just have to live in the Continental United States. Sorry to all our global readers.)

Twinkle Twinkle Twink. i am bewitched by your witch. She would be welcome here.
WITCHY-POO ……FLY TO SOUTH DAKOTA 🙂
I would love to give your witch a new home! I’m a new reader who just purchased my first home last year. I found your blog from the kitchen makeover post on Apartment Therapy and have been really enjoying seeing all of the projects you’ve undertaken in your home.
I actually think you did a marvelous job on her and I think Amy will be very lucky to get to give her a new home! Don’t sell yourself short: you are RICH in talent, my friend!!!
I think she would look really cute hanging in my classroom. I’m sure my students would all enjoy her.
Aww… I would love to welcome your witch into my home. She has a story so that makes her awesome. I have the perfect spot in mind. It is near the Witch’s Crossing sign. Which happens to be right by the stove. Ha!
She’s adorable – in a witchy way, of course! I’d love to welcome her to my home to scare/charm folks at Halloween. . . and beyond! Thanks for sharing all your adventures, and this opportunity 🙂
Oh, witchy woman…I think you need to punch FLORIDA into your broom’s GPS and fly this way. You’d look perfect hanging in my sunroom! 🙂
