Rustic Joy Creations
My name is Marcia and my passion is giving new life to items and creating mixed media art!

It’s beginning to look a little like Christmas in my booth at Southgate! I love creating pieces to celebrate Christmas and hope that what I create touches all of you. I’m so thankful that I’m able to create with joy and pray that what I create will bring joy to others too. 💕
Come to Southgate to experience some Christmas joy! Monday thru Saturday, 10 am to 6 pm.

Happy Saturday Friends! I hope you’re enjoying the start to your weekend.
I want to show you my latest projects I’ve taken into my booth at Southgate Crossing! The lamp is vintage and I made it shabby chic style! The bread box is an oldie! And more rare as you don’t see them very often with 2 compartments! I love the chippy primitive bench as it adds so much charm to anywhere you would have to put it!
Let me know what you think! I love to hear your thoughts!
Southgate is open Monday thru Saturday 10 am to 6 pm at 27751 CR 26 Elkhart IN

Hi Friends! I wanted to share this with you…. I did a class with the art journaling club I’m in, and we created these canvas panels with a hand drawn birdie! I am by no means a free hand artist, but I love how this turned out! It was fun to do and a learning experience. I encourage you to try new things! Don’t let the thoughts of imperfection stop you! 😊 You don’t want to miss the joy of trying!
