Country Primitives 15 by Maxine Thomas

Antiques lovers will enjoy Maxine Thomas' highly detailed yet rustic designs, such as in the assemblage of items featured on the "Daisies Box" and the fall harvest collection on the "Home Grown" box. "Peace on Earth" (large box with lift-off lid) and "Home of The Brave" (dominoes box with clasping, hinged lid) are two dissimilar boxes with similar designs, including a rustic candleholder, ceramic jug and goose decoy. An antique toy theme comes through on several pieces, including the "Country Clutter" stool and box featuring a sweet rag doll and bear, among other "Country Primitives," and the Christmas-y "Stack of Toys" sled. Also in the Christmas vein, painters will delight in the variety of Santas present in the "Olde Santas" box and set of five "Santa Ornaments."
