But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, And ...she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? (John 20: 11-16) The sacred encounter between a devastated Mary Magdalene and the resurrected Lord is depicted with tender humility by artist J. Kirk Richards. Here, Mary Magdalene weeps beside the empty tomb, heartbroken and unaware of the miracle of the Savior's resurrection. This painting is an expression of the hope and healing offered by the story of Jesus Christ. Shop more religious prints here. Shop all Easter art here. Flat canvases have a 2" white border.

We couldn't be more excited to introduce our newest additions to our nightgown collection.  This versatile night dress, reminiscent of days spent harvesting and feeding chickens, offers more than just comfort. For us, it's an "everything dress" designed for cozy autumn evenings and productive work-from-home days. It suits any virtual meeting or school drop-off.  Crafted from premium cotton poplin, its gentle drape and jet-black hue hide anything you don't want seen.

Whether you're reading spooky stories by the fireside or conquering tasks around your homestead, its flow keeps you at ease. Don't be shocked if you see me wearing it around town with my trench coat thrown over the top. It looks fab then too.  -DETAILS- Measurements: This size chart is based on body measurements.

The body of the doll is all wood with a wooden hinge at the waist. The arms of most of the dolls are also hinged at the shoulder, using a string, so they do have some arm movement as well. Each doll is hand-painted, the faces and bodies, so there are slight variations between them. The clothes are made from wool, cotton, and occasionally some of the trimmings are other materials. There may be slight variations in textiles used.  The hair is made of thread. They are of incredible quality, handmade in Germany. - DETAILS - Measures 3.15" to 5.12". Made of hand-carved limewood and hand-painted with oil paints. Made in Germany.

KNITTING PATTERN ~ If you are looking for a special afghan to knit for a special baby in a botanical design, this is it! I have called this "Hydrangea", because of the floral pattern that I chose for the center panel; it is reminiscent to me of beautiful blue hydrangeas, which I have blooming in my garden right now! They are the inspiration for this afghan! The yarn is both eco-friendly and economical! I used Egyptian cotton, and the yarn was less than $25 to complete the entire blanket! NOTE: This is not the finished product, but a PATTERN to make the finished product. The pattern consists of lace panels with the center floral design. I have knit this afghan in a gorgeous shade of blue which is actually entitled "Sky Blue"--Etsy's color of the year! If someone likes this project but wants an easier version, she/he could substitute an easier stitch for the side panels. Instructions are included in both written and chart form for the hydrangea panel. Nupps are used for the flower, and I have linked to an instructional video for this. I would call this an intermediate level project. All patterns utilize standard US terminology. Feel free to contact me if I can assist you in any way. I want you to be successful, but to most of all HAVE FUN! Pattern copyrighted by ModernVintageKnitsCo

Pepper is the most traded spice in the world, and adding a bit of freshly ground pepper to a salad or a dish adds something quite miraculous. A pepper grinder adds spice to life on a daily basis, so let it be beautiful. Not suitable for use with Salt as this will seize up the mechanism inside. - DETAILS - Measures 5.31" in height and 1.65" in diameter. Made of sand cast brass. Made in Greece, sourced in England.

MULTI-SENSORY WOODEN BABY RATTLE: This colorful multi-sensory wooden rattle encourages reaching and holding activity, important for gross motor skill development; the lightweight wooden dowels, smooth finish, and elastic ties make it easy for little hands to grab and hold.

One of my shops best sellers and most loved designs now has a more feminine cowgirl counterpart! This classic cowgirl up western baby crib mobile is one of my favorite designs to date. I love the vintage rodeo vibes and I’m sure you and your baby girl will too! It has a cowgirl riding a horse, aka bucking bronc, two cowgirl boots, two cowgirl hats, two cattle skulls, four cacti, four accent arrows, four white wool pom balls and four tan wool pom balls. These make amazing baby shower gifts for the baby girl to be and momma alike! With excellent handmade construction, it can easily become an heirloom piece that will last a lifetime. The natural wood tones paired with sage green, pink, and coral accents as well as white twine make this piece both charming and rustic. The pieces are cut from 1/2” thick premium baltic birch, sanded, and then hand detail painted. Each piece is strung and balanced and then hung from a matching wood topper. The mobile is paired with white cord, which is also used to wrap the ties around the hoop at the top. The overall length is approximately 24”, width is 9”. Extra matching cord is sent with every order so you can adjust the hanging length to suit your needs. Pair the mobile with a matching cowboy sign, available here: https://etsy.me/36oumpA Pair the mobile with a large custom cowboy name sign, available here: https://etsy.me/35xtBKo Thanks for shopping small! 🖤- Courtney
