Uncle Sam made from old bowling pins, the faces are hand done with paper mache, these are done right here, in the Ashley Heights area.
The littlest old schooldesk, this one is kindergarten size, so cute!!! Don't see this size!
An early cradle, dovetailed corners, really nice!
Jen at Just Country!
The new Judy Condon book is shipping out starting today, so hopefully we will have them later in the week. This one is the first book using the new 'house tour' format! Each house will have its own chapter. You'll see gardens, potting sheds, barns and the inside and outside of homes. Welcome Home - Simply Country has approximately 300 color photographs and 144 pages. The 12 I ordered were all spoken for, so I bumped my order up to 20, so others will have a chance to get one too. These are 24.95 each. I always get excited when these arrive, I love a good decorating book!!!
Yesterday Dee worked and look what she did with one of our farm tables, really looks nice, huh? Do you have your table decorations for the 4th?
Took a couple pics of the flowerbed today, the lavender is ready to cut, but the bees think its theirs! The butterfly bushes are huge, you can see one of them behind gardengal, and the lantana is really drawing in the butterflies!
Table squares and throws from Family Heirloom, signs, and candles from 3 different companies, birdhouses and lighted houses, was a day of pricing and stocking for sure! Lots of stuff! 
You may need to click on this to see this wild turkey in our yard this morning, that is our "hunter" Ben going after it, he had been hunkering down and trying to sneak up on it, got the picture just as he went after it, of course the turkey made its escape.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
