These Primitive Moose Ornaments are one of a kind. They are designed and handmade by myself. This particular Primitive Moose Ornament is named “Marcella”. However, if you are the one to adopt her, you can certainly change her name. And of course I will make you a new primitive name tag with your special name!

These Primitive Moose Ornaments are machine stitched from chenille fabric body, stuffed with polyester fiberfill and painted with a mixture of paint and grunging solution. Their heads are made from warm and natural batting with black beaded eyes and hand embroidered eyebrows.  They have cinnamon stick legs and a unique decoration hanging from their necks. A primitive hang tag with the name will be attached to each moose.

They measure approximately 6 inches in height and length. A hanger is also attached to each Moose. There are many different ways to display your Primitive Moose Ornament. Put it in a bowl, sit it on a shelf, hang it from your tree or other display, or whatever else your little primitive mind can come up with!

And as always, special orders don’t upset us. So let me know if you have a special request, or maybe you want a little primitive moose family!

So visit my eBay store today at:  Choose Moose on eBay to see if Marcella is still available. Or perhaps there will be another primitive moose ornament just for you!

Primitive Country Folk Art Ornaments: Apples and Watermelon Slices

Nothing says primitive country folk art quite like fruit ornaments. And for a limited time we have watermelon slices and apples.

These watermelon slices are in a set of 3. They are hand made with a gingham fabric and “grunged” in my special solution that gives them an old primitive look and smell. They are approximately 5 inches by 5 inches. Also included is a hang tag that has that old primitive look and reads “Watermelon”.

These apples look good enough to eat! They are also in a set of 3. They are hand painted and grunged. Each apple has a real twig as a stem. Each also has a hand painted leaf and a rusty bell attached. There is one hand made primitive tag for the set that reads “Apples”. The apples are about 3 1/2 inches wide by about 5 inches tall. These would look very prim and country in an old wooden bowl.

Primitive Country Folk Art Ornaments: Animals

Another thing that makes for very nice primitive country folk art ornaments are animals. And I have a few, but we will look at sheep, bears and eagles. (Some of my personal favorites).

These were designed and hand made by me. Again, it is a set of 3. They are hand painted on both sides. These prim sheep are about 5 1/2 inches by 4 inches. They were made with a real nice looking osnaburg fabric, grunged and baked. And the set comes with a grunged hang tag that reads “Prim Sheep”.

How about throwing a little “Americana” into the mix. This majestic Eagle will do the trick! These are sold individually. There are many possibilities for decorating with these primitive eagles. They are made with a muslin fabric that is grunged and hand painted. Each eagle is about 6 1/2 inches tall. These would be nice for hanging on your prim tree, placing in an old bowl, or whatever else your primitive mind can come up with! And they look good all year long.

I have saved the best for last. These bears are as cute as a primitive button! This is a set of 2. The larger bear is about 7 inches tall by 4 1/4 inches wide and the smaller bear is about 4 2/3 inches tall by 3 inches wide. These bears have been hand painted and lightly sanded to give them that “vintage” look. They are grunged and smell very nice. They have button eyes, a fabric face, and hand stitching for the nose. Each bear has a rusty safety pin holding a rusty bell on. Also included is a grungy hand tag that reads “Beware of Bears”. They are adorable.

So there you have it. A very good start if you are looking for primitive country folk art ornaments. And if you did not find it here check out the other items in my eBay Store at: Choose Moose Primitive Designs.

Are you ready to show your primitive American Spirit for the holidays? Well they are coming, whether you are ready or not. So let me help you get ready. I have a good selection of Americana Primitives ready to go. I have primitive red, white and blue, just for you!

Primitive Patriotic Sheep

I just love these primitive patriotic sheep. This is a set of three plus a grungy hang tag that reads “Patriotic Sheep”. They are made of white fleece and stuffed with polyester fiberfill. Then the face, hooves, ears, and tail are hand painted. Then a flag was sewn on the front. And then of course they were grunged in my own prim solution that makes them look and smell goooood!

Each sheep has a rusty bell and a rusty safety pin (which you can move if you like).

Another nice thing about these sheep is that they are reversible. So you can show the back side and the flag will not show. It is almost like getting two sheep for the price of one!

Primitive Americana Hearts

A couple of different prim fabrics. These hearts are in sets of 5. Each set has a grungy hang tag that reads “Hearts”. Each prim heart is approximately 4 1/3 inches by 2 2/3 inches. They are processed in my special grunge solution. And they each have a rusty bell attached with a rusty safety pin. Just about anything that your little prim heart desires!

Primitive Americana Flags

Primitive tucks, flatties, shelf sitters, ornies, and bowl fillers, on my!

Quite a selection this holiday season! Show your primitive pride with this large assortment of primitive flags. The largest is a shelf sitter that is about 11 inches by 7 1/2 inches. Olde Glory has never looked so prim!

Button, button, whose got the primitive button? You will if you get these ornies with a prim button hand sewn on each one!

Buy several and mix and match. Let your primitive creative mind run wild.

Primitive Firecrackers

These primitive Americana firecrackers are made of solid wood. They have been hand painted by me in a couple of different styles. Then they were lightly sanded to give them that prim look that we all love. A piece  of jute was used for a “fuse”.  I had a primitive blast making these!

Primitive Stars

Nothing says Americana Primitive like stars! I have an assortment of fabrics hand sewn into stars with buttons, bells and hang tags. You should be able to find one that satisfies you.

Primitive Patriotic Pinwheels and Pokes

I love these primitive pinwheels. They are hand made by me and I had a lot of fun making them! They are new this year, but I think that they will be around for a while. Makes you think of a simpler time when children all had a pinwheel! There are a lot of different things that you can do with these. There is a good assortment of fabrics, buttons and bells. Let your prim imagination run wild.

Hard to believe that we have snow in Delaware today! We are getting ready for a very primitive Easter with bunnies and eggs, and there is snow on the ground! It is a good day to stay inside and make ornies.

I do have some new items for your primitive Easter. Lets start with the primitive bunnies. Here is one of my favorites. Buster.Very labor intensive, but well worth it. He is cute as a primitive button!

And Buster is by no means the only prim bunnie in our house. Here is a cute little bunnie that is new this year and I just love him.

And it seems like this is the year for new items. I made these little bunnie head primitive bowl fillers. They really have that “prim” look!

And no prim bunnie display would be complete without some primitive eggs. And there are so many to choose from. Primitive bowl fillers, ornies, and flatties. These are selling like primitive hot cakes! Get on over to my EBay Store while there is a good selection and before they are all gone. I really love the fabric that I found for the primitive flatties. It is perfectly prim!

And then also new for this year, primitive cinnamon dough ornies. I have little primitive itty biddy chicks, and also bunnies and carrots.

This is a nice variety of Primitive Easter items for your primitive decorating, but be on the lookout. I have a busy day planned since I am snowed in. I have a couple of ideas for some other new items. So make sure that you check my EBay Store later this evening!

I hope that I have helped you with some ideas for your Primitive Easter Decorating!

How about some primitive shamrocks to get you going? I have a very wide variety of primitive shamrocks made up for you! Here are some examples, and take a look at the way they are displayed. You may get some primitive decorating ideas!

Or if you would rather spend your time arranging your primitive decorating display,

I hope that you got a few primitive ideas from that video!

Head on over to My eBay Store while there is still a nice variety of those shamrocks and get yours before they are picked over. They are selling like primitive hotcakes and I don’t expect them to last through the holiday.

I hope that you have a very prim St Patrick’s day. Enjoy some corned beef, cabbage, and green beer!

Easter will be here before you know it! You should be thinking about some ideas for primitive decorating now!

Of course you have already been collecting old boxes, baskets and bowls to start with. You could also just set some primitive eggs, bunnies, or other types of ornies on a shelf or up against something. You may even have a tree that you change with the seasons.

Spanish moss is nice for a base because it has that “prim”  look that we are after! You certainly would not want to use that bright colored grass from WalMart.

I have a few photos of some new items over at My Choose Moose eBay Store to give you some primitive ideas!

Here are some primitive bunnies. Some are big enough to be stand alone ornies and the others are a little smaller so you may want to put several together. You can just scatter some rose hips, or whatever else you have on hand around the base area. Or maybe you have an old piece of “prim” cloth or even an old place mat.

Here are some primitive Easter Eggs. These are shown as separate displays, but certainly bunnies and eggs mixed together would be a great decorating idea. I have Easter eggs that are ornies, flatties and hard, cloth wrapped. It would be perfect if you could find an old primitive Easter basket! But you can use anything that you have.

You could also use primitive old kitchen items in your display. Maybe you have some old kitchen utensils or pots and pans that would work nice. Especially if you are decorating in your kitchen.

Remember to keep your eyes open while you are out and about. Yards sales, thrift shops, second hand stores and antique stores are a get source of display material.

And don’t forget the attics, closets, and basements of your older relatives! That’s where the real treasure is. If you are old enough, you may want to look in your own storage areas!

Have fun decorating for your “Primitive Easter” and stop by   My Choose Moose eBay Store for even more ideas!

Brand new for this year. And just in time for Easter. A primitive Easter Bunny!

These are very labor intensive. And made with a little primitive love! Each bunny is about 8 inches tall. And of course they have been grunged for that perfect prim look. But also they have a few hand painted color accents added to special areas to make them even cuter. They will sit on a shelf or in your favorite primitive display.

And rabbits are not just for Easter anymore! Here is a cute as a primitive button Valentines Primitive Bunny.

These won’t last long, so visit Choose Moose and take a look at them now.

Here is a video with some primitive decorating ideas!
This is my first video. So it is a little “primitive”!
