The 3/50 Project!

I know you probably can't read this, so click on it and it will enlarge, its well worth reading! We can do something to help our local economy.

Minnow Bucket Tree

The girls from Salem brought this tree in the other day, its so cute, has black angels, stars and crows on it, can just tuck it anywhere in your home!

THANKS TO OUR MILITARY!!!!

Lamps Made by Herb

This is a fold up fly screen that Dee found, it folds up like an umbrella, its really neat and something you just don't see very often.
Wanted to show you some of the lamps Herb makes, one is made from an old meat grinder, and the other one is made from a garden tool. Cute!

New Stuff! Two Pie Safes!

Wow, what a day.....we got a couple new cupboards in the shop, so I took a picture, and also there is a picture of a farm table with one of the floorcloth runners on it, they look really nice. Today the UPS man brought me lots of stuff, got some "Made in the USA" American flags, lots of signs, some more melts, Candles, and of course some old stuff. You can see the pie safe we picked up this week, and the other neat pine cupboard with the little tin punch cut outs on the doors.

Looks like the weather is going to be great for Memorial Day.

Hope you have a safe and wonderful holiday, and remember our military and their families in your prayers.

On the Road Again!

What were those people looking at when I am driving down the highway? Ya reckon it was my load? Little did they know I had a little red table in the front seat riding shotgun. Ah...I love red, anything red and I am attracted to it. I guess I am as crazy for red as my friend Barb is for blue. Will be getting these things priced and in the shop for the weekend.

Come see us! Don't forget we will be closed on Monday!

Mayonnaise Bucket

Did you know they used to have mayonnaise in wooden buckets? Sure enough!!!! Take a look at this one we have in the shop and the lid. SOLD

On a Roll Here!

Have my camera and computer with me today, so I am on a roll, took a few more pics.

One is a horse feeder(thats what I was told it was), with sunflowers in it, another pic is of an open corner cupboard(SOLD), loaded with treasures, and the other is a dolly made by Kati and beside the dolly is a dasher.....or an old time agitator, used before the automatic washer to agitate clothes, we have a bonnet hanging on it, they are also cute in a bathroom to hold extra rolls of toilet paper.

Old Paint

We have several pieces of furniture in the shop in old paint, the country store desk piece, I think was probably painted in the 80's, so its not real old paint, but still has a good look to it. We have this old blue pie safe that had been painted a yellow color overtop the old blue and some dear soul scraped it down to the old blue, nice old piece, then the one big blue cupboard, that is definately old paint. We also have an old blue painted hanging corner cupboard from Virginia that is in an earlier post.

Enjoy!

Cameron Spring Show 2009

Well, did we ever get lucky on the weather, all week long they talked about it raining on Saturday, I kept checking, and it really wasn't looking very good, then on the way to the show at 6 am, it was sprinkling, I told Herb, "Lets go get our stuff and pack up and come home", course he wouldn't hear of it, and glad he didn't. The weather was really nice, it even was kinda cool in the morning. There is something there I am allergic to in the spring though and this morning my eyes are almost swollen shut, it happens to me every year at the spring show, will be fine in a day or two. Had alot of people say that the vendors or down, I never really got out and wandered, just ran down to Barbs booth(Cabin in the Woods). Got to meet Betty Ann from the former shop, "Nails,Thorns, and Blessings", she was having a good time. Saw lots of my prim friends too. Anyway, I snapped a few pictures to share with you, hope you enjoy.

Getting Ready For Cameron!

Did any of you make it to Liberty? It was a pretty good show, saw lots of good country stuff there! It sure was a hot day, I went on Friday, got there about 8:30 and by 2, I was BEAT! The heat really took it out of me.

Now we are getting things ready for Cameron this Saturday, hope the rain stays away for that one day, last I looked they said 30% chance. YUCK! Its no fun to be there in the rain, I know, it has happened to me more than once!

We will be set up behind Miss Belles in our regular spot, next to that little white building. Come see us! And yes, the shop will be open.

Wanted to show you a couple things that I have just recently gotten in, one is a doll made by my friend Linda, in Pa, and the other one is a horse made by another Pa. artist, they both do great work.

More Pics

Its been one heck of a week here, Saturday night, I was getting ready for bed, went to brush my teeth and there was no water!!! We had no indication we were running out of water, at first we thought it was the pump, but after an expensive pump installation we were told our well was dry! Well, after a pretty much sleepless night, we decided to go with county water, so we won't have to worry about the well running dry again. Wow, it was no fun, believe me, I am sure many of you have been through this before.

Anyway......I took a few more pics today.

ICEBOX is SOLD

Just Some Pics

I keep hearing,"Post more pictures", so today I snapped a few, hope you enjoy!

Candles Anyone?

I got these neat candle sleeves and the pans a few weeks ago, thinking they might work with my new grubbie candles.....wrong, the candles I got were too fat.....so I went searching for a thinner grubbie, and today they arrived, any excuse to order more candles, huh? Do I have a problem or what? Anyway.....we have them in Apple Cinnamon, Cinnamon, and Vanilla Sugar. They look really nice in the glass sleeves with some rosehips.

As posted before, we will be open tomorrow, then closed on Easter Sunday.

We hope you have a wonderful Easter with your families! When the boys were small we used to have the best time hiding eggs over, and over, and over.

Up For Adoption

Today the UPS man brought me some wonderful handmade prim dollies, I LOVE these, I want to keep them all, but I won't, they will be in the shop tomorrow, awaiting adoption. These are handmade in Ohio and are good sized! I think you will love them too! Here are three of them.

Got The Trough In The Shop!

We got the trough in last night, and here it is!

They make such great displays, no doors to contend with, just lots of great display space! You know me, I love my troughs! Who will be the next trough member?

April Showers Bring May Flowers!

Well, you don't have to wait until May for these. The sunflowers were out front in a wagon last weekend and there was a bee that kept swarming them, then he would land, then swarm some more, then land, it was so funny, could he have thought they were real? They do look pretty dern good.

A reminder that we will be closed on April 12, Easter Sunday.

Looks like we are in for some more rain, then Saturday and Sunday look good, then more rain on Monday, maybe it will wash that yellow pine pollen away, hope so.

Come see us!

A Few New Old Things!

• 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  I took a pic of a few of the older things we just got in the shop, the pair of childs chairs we got in Pa, they are so cute and in such good shape, the tag when I got them said they were from the late 1800's, not sure if they are, but they are definately very old, there are two of them.
  Also just got this really nice and different old barbers cabinet in, we have had some smaller ones in the past, but this one is on legs, Herb put little lights in it, so the treasures you fill it with will be seen, CUTE!
  We also just got in this pie safe. SOLD!
  
  
  

These Are MINE!

Well, sometimes when your buying for the shop, you "need" to get something for yourself, and I was "needing" these firkins in a bad way, and Herb, well, he always says"Go ahead, you deserve it", and he didn't have to say it twice, the mustard one is a really nice old one with copper nails, but the paint isn't all that old, probably from the 80's, but the blue one, well that paint is OLD, real old and dry, so it had to come home with me from Pa. I am kinda proud of these two! And had to share.
