~Happy Holidays To All~

Just stopping to say "Hi" to my prim pals and hope you all are enjoying the season. This is my most favorite holiday of the year :)


~Holiday Pics around the Homestead~

Bailey under the Christmas tree in the living room which is decorated with vintage glass ornaments. 
Bailey loves lying under the trees!!! :)
If you click on picture and enlarge you can see she is already there right after put up and before I could even sweep up the sheds..........artificial tree and still messy!!!


~The Twiggy Tree~

I am in the process of decorating the twiggy tree in the sun room which was purchased this past Summer on a yard sale junkin' adventure for $20. The tree was intially going to be displayed at our craft booth but there is really not enough room there! 
So here it is and I am in the process of decorating it.............right now it has some homemade prim snow guys on it and a few vintage kitchen utensils.
I am hoping to make some homespun garland for it???

~A few new prim items~

This is a bread board gotten this past Summer that my husband added legs onto it to make it a table riser!!!

Old 2 gallon jug bought at Spies Farms Antiques.

 Also purchased at Spies Farms an old free standing ladder........not sure but I think it was used to dry herbs. I have used it to hang some kitchen linens upon it.

Got this old cupboard also at Spies Farms Antiques. When I first brought it home my husband said it would make good firewood and I almost believed him...........it was very dirty and needed a good cleaning. After cleaning up and dragging it into my sun room......I placed the grapevine tree atop of it and well I just love it :)
Right now there is an old basket on the bottom but my plan is to place some of my old quilts below but not sure???..........It used to have a door on it but over time it disappeared and all that is left is just some of the old hardware.

~~~~~~~~~~

I really wish there was more time to sit here at my computer and visit with all my prim pals but always so much going on! So if I don't get the chance I wanted to wish.............


~Happy Holidays to All~

The New Booth and the Rotten Weekend :(

Hope you all had a wonderful 4th. I worked the weekend (Fri, Sat and Sun.) and it was far from perfect and it could be erased for all I care. While I was working, my husband and boys moved some of his wooden goods and my old goods to the Berlin Craft Mall on Friday.

I pulled all my old goods out of my booth at the local Antique Mall and now they are here mingled in with his wooden wares.

They did an awesome job decorating it on Friday!

We headed up there again today to bring a few more goods.

We ended up going to Spies Farms Antiques  which is a cool barn filled with antiques, primitives and old furniture. The folks that own it were very nice and they told us that they get most of their items from auctions.  I found out they even have a blogspot..........cool!!!

We ended up buying an old enamel top table for only $37 to use in our booth. 
It is the white one in the pictures below.

Usually when we head to Amish Country, no day is complete without stopping at a local eatery. We had lunch at Dutch Valley Restaurant in Sugarcreek, OH and it was really yummie as usual!

Despite the rotten weekend at work, I did get to enjoy some Fireworks Sunday night with the family and got a few funky pictures! 
It was very nice to spend Sunday night and Monday with my family!
After long days at work it really makes you appreciate coming home to your family !
