WooHoo!!!! Look what we found!!!!

We made a dash to Pa this week, and look what we found!!!! Course it needs some work, gotta get that greenish yellow spray paint off there, and need to scrub it down, add hind legs so it will stand and put shelves in it, before all that happens it needs to stop raining!!! Should be shop ready in a week or two. Will post a pic when we get it ready.

Oh, the life of a shopkeeper and her poor hubby! He always says hes driving Miss Daisy.

Well, I need to get in gear and start unloading that trailer....in the rain.

More Towel Holders!

This one is an old ice hook.

This one is a mule bit.

Towel Holder Make Dos!

We like to make towel holders out of all kinds of different things, this is a stirrup.
Dee came up with this last week, this is a canner, which she made into a towel holder, pretty neat, don't ya think?

Just News!

Just wanted to post a pic of a couple things we have in new this week. One is a jelly cupboard we found this week and the other is a lantern bracket that Herb made from old NC tobacco sticks. It looks great with the old lanterns we put lights in. We also got more of the Black Crow candles in, more of the clove, Grandma's Kitchen and also Log Cabin.....I LOVE the clove candle!!!

Looks like we may be in for a rainy day tomorrow, so come to the country and see whats new!

Another Trough!

This pic was sent to me by Rena. this is the last trough I sold, sold it at the Christmas Open House, doesn't it look wonderful?

Great job Rena!!!

Open House Was Fantastic!!!

Thank you all for coming to our Spring Open House! It was a beautiful day and we had a fantastic turnout!!! I love to see all our customers all talking to each other, and just having a fun time, some even go to lunch, then return for some more shopping, maybe pick up something they have decided they just had to have. Many of our customers have become friends with each other. It just makes it all worthwhile!
The winners of the door prizes are:
Sherry Kneppler, Cary, NC
Julie Dewitt, Ellerbe, NC
Monica Reid, Raeford
Congrats!!! Will mail them out this week!
Thanks again to all of you!!!!

What Herb has been working on!

Here are some pics of some of the things Herb has been working on, he says he wishes he had more time to do more, seems there is never enough of that, is there? Also on the farm table you can see a pillow that Jennifer did, we got some things in from her today, she does nice work.

Dee has brought in some cool things too, she always finds the neatest things.

Kati and Marna's Handdids

Oops, that bottom picture wasn't supposed to be on there, that was a sampler I ordered. Leave it to me!!! In the top pic, one of their bunnies is on the shelf, course the flour cloth tuck was done by Sherrie, and the shelf is handmade.

Some Handdids!

I didn't find many of Marna and Kati's things, they musta been hiding, will take more of them tomorrow. Enjoy!

Here are a few Handdids that came in today, will take more pics tomorrow.

Samplers and topiarys

Well, we are getting ready, Dee and I, and Herb, and even Josh(our neighbor), worked today and its all coming together. Dee's been doing some fine tuning, Herbs getting his projects all finished up and Kati and Marna from Winston Salem brought us some really neat prim Easter hand dids, which I need to run to the shop and take a pic of, also got some neat hand dids I ordered from a gal in Pa. Heres a couple shots and will post more in a bit.

Another New Candle

Got the other new candles in today, burning one right now, Citrus Grove, the other one is Lavender & Herb, they really have a good look, as you can see, would look good in one of our bubble vases(Need to check and see if they will fit, these are big candles!), or under one of the cylinder sleeves. More for you to look at on Saturday!

Samplers

We got some more samplers in and they look so old and are done so well, I want one of each, there are probably about 12 different designs, I love them all!

New Candles and Samplers!

Guess you all know, I am a sucker for a good candle, well, I have added a couple more lines, can you believe it? Pretty soon they will call me the candle store...well, actually I have heard that already, a couple times. Anyway, the crow candles came in yesterday, and I am burning one of the Tandles right now, and it smells wonderful! I got Brown Sugar(sweet brown sugar), Cinnamon Apple( ripe red apples, sprinkled with cinnamon), Clove(wonderful clove scent), Country Cupboard(butter, cinnamon, caramel and cream), Early Spice Cake(pumpkin, spices, buttercream, topped with cloves), and Grandmas Kitchen(Vanilla and crushed cinnamon sticks and kitchen spices). These are really prim looking, I think you will like them!
In the top picture, you see what they call a Tandle, it comes with the holder and a candle and also a refill, and the cute cloth bag, these candles are really strong, I love the way the tandle looks burning, very cool!!!!

Spring Open House

Well, its just 10 days away and the orders are pouring in, we have boxes in our kitchen, boxes on the front porch, and boxes at the shop....whew!!!! Who is ordering all this stuff? We may need to put up another building! I will take some pics tomorrow when I start getting it put out, Herb is making a few things too, he is making a really nice bed/bench, a farm table, a make do cupboard, an old top and old bottom he is putting together, plus there will be things in the tent as usual.
Well, back at it.....no stress here!!!

Cynthia's Cupboard

This is a pic of the cupboard Cynthia bought from us last week, all decked out in her pottery collection and also the light she got from us.....sure looks great Cynthia!

Dolls and Angels

Got some angels and dolls in today, I like them because they are plain and simple.....what do you think? I got two bonnets from this lady too, and they have the same look as the dolls dress, again, plain and simple.

Brown Cupboard with doors shut.

Here is the one that had the shiny gunk on it, with the doors shut, it has a really pretty color to it, hard to tell from the picture though.

New Old Stuff!

Here are a couple pics of two new old cupboards we got in this week, one is an antique white color, and the inside is the prettiest pine, whoever had it really took good care of it, the dealer I got it from said it was southern yellow pine, the other one had that shiny, gunky brown yuck on the outside of it, which I stripped off, now its a mellow pretty pine, with no shine! Then I just took a pic of the chair and the stool table in front of the fireplace cuz I thought it looked so nice and cozy, like you could curl up and read a good book, or look at one of the great country books by Judy Condon, or Jill Peterson.

Some New stuff!

This is something new that Sherrie has tried, this cloth is very old looking, and Sherrie has done some stitiching on the corner, they look so old and feel so old too, really neat.

Few More

Been Teekin!

Been doing a little antiquin, and found a few things, most of it needs some work, but some was shop ready, this is what I do on the days I am not in the shop, tomorrow I hope to get outside and work on some of my "projects". Believe me, I have plenty of them, and need to get them done before our spring open house.

I AM BACK!!!

See the cool sugar cone? Sherrie made those and they are so cool, ya gotta have one of those!!!

I know I have been kinda lazy about posting, been waiting on that new stuff to get here.....and its trickling in....We got some more of these black star linens, a nice throw, towels, candle mats, runners, and we have placemats coming. We also got the neatest pods in,they are called Heirloom Pods....they are so prim looking, would look great in an old dough bowl, basket, or an old box.

Well, UPS just brought me some boxes, I think they are signs....will post more later!

Come See!!!
