SuNDaY AfTerNooN......

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all you Dad's out there!!! Hope you're having a great day!

Whew! What a day I had on Saturday. A quick explanation as to why I wasn't around to change my special of the day on my web site. I'm not much of a sleeper in the best of times and lately it has gotten so much worse. If I can keep my eyes closed for a few hours at a time, I am doing really good. Yesterday morning was a disaster! Finally at 5:15 or so I pulled myself out of bed with the headache from H---! No kidding! I haven't been that sick in years, literally! Hubby didn't even mow the grass 'cause I was feeling so rotten. I was afraid that I was going to have to go to the Dr. and could barely hold my head up. But, thankfully after spending almost the entire day in bed, I felt better about 7:00 last night. It really was the strangest thing........and I can probably go the rest of my life without that experience again.

But, on to better things....

~~~~~~~~~~

This week's Web site Special is this fabulous Grungy Prairie Dress, designed and made by me!

Only $10.00 each

You can find it here:

TwiCE In ONe DAy....

~NEWS~NEWS~NEWS~

I have decided to re-open my Etsy shop! After giving up my booth at the Antique Marketplace~ I thought I would give Etsy another shot. There are so many things (cupboards, shelves and benches) that I can't sell on my web site because of the way shipping charges are added and calculated. And my space at Walnut Cove just isn't large enough to accomodate larger pieces. So.....I'll be offering several things that you folks haven't seen before, plus some old favorites.

Wood star with grungy candle...

Larger size bowl/cutting cupboard....

Primitive Millie Doll......

You can check out ETSY here:

http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5844339

The weather here has been too rainy and gloomy to take pictures today, so if I can get the pictures right, I'm putting a kneeling bench on Etsy tomorrow. I made one today in Burgandy and it turned out beautiful!!! My girls will be making a few things as well! I'm excited to see what comes of it....

I'll be back tomorrow with a Wednesday Web Site Special!!

Until then. Hugs and Blessings,

Shari

ReThA CaME To ViSiT.....

Retha came by the other day to drop off a few things that I couldn't get in my car when we moved out of the Marketplace Booth....I guess she is serious about giving up the Biz, cause she brought me all these goodies to boot!

Some great wood pieces to re-do along with some frames....

Great candleholders...can you see them black with grungy candles????

Rusty bells, pins, nails, embroidery hoops and more floss than I have bought in years!! Woo Hoo!! I'll be stitchin' for months!!

Thanks bunches, Retha!

Today, I decided to get up and do a few chores around my house before I started on orders. All these treasures were piled in my dining room, so I thought I would find a place to store them. In the garage for now, maybe????? or this might be a FABULOUS time for Cait to try her hand at re-doing. She needs to learn a few things, right???

I'm gonna try to make it to Walnut Cove today as I have lots to drop off there.

Be back later, if I run across anything worthy to share. LOL!!

Hugs and Happy Friday!

Shari

BuSy WeeK So FaR...

First of all............the critter (according to HUBBY and several other sources) is a ground hog and Thankfully, I haven't seen him since. He would not be too pleasant to my cat, so we are taking precautions to not let Ruffie outside at all. He loves to run out and grab some grass, roll on the sidewalk and come back in. But, he hasn't been allowed to in the last few days.

We have had a couple of really hot days here in K-ville and thunderstorms in the evenings. Last night, Cait and I thought we might lose our Bradford Pear Tree in the front yard. Don't think I've ever seen one bend the way it did. Tonight wasn't as bad, but we did get get quite a bit of rain.

~~~~~~~~~~

I have been working all this week on orders from my web site, plus a huge wholesale order. ( I am so blessed to stay busy all the time) Actually, it's after 10:00 pm now and I am grunging candles!! Hubby has been in Atlanta all week and I had hoped to get lots more done in my house...but, my new medicine is STILL making me sick to take it and I haven't been as productive as I would like to have been. I had plans to paint Cait's room, but no time this week. Maybe, next week...

This is something new that I have made this week. Amy over at Just Plain Country in Walnut Cove suggested that I make these. I took one over last week and it sold the first day. I have orders for more, so I decided to offer it on my site.

You can specify your hometown or whatever city or town you choose. Makes a nice gift for someone.....

Also working on a pillow using the same concept.

Well, got to finish my candles...

Until next time.

Hugs,

Shari

TuESDaY EVeniNG CriTTer...

Today was one of those super hot Summer days here in NC. I think it was 90 degrees when I got up this morning. I spent the day working on orders and ran to the post office late this afternoon. It was TOO hot to even stop at Walmart on the way home.

My sister called to tell me about her shopping day....she went to Apex to check out Pam's store. Wish I couldv'e gone with her. I'm sure there's lots and lots to see at the Rusty Bucket since I was there. But, anyway...when I was on the phone, I happen to glance out the window and see this!! I ran to get my camera as I think he was posing for me!!

I don't have a clue what it is, but it seemed to enjoy some of the "Greens" outside my front door.

Closer picture......

He stayed for several minutes just lookin around. I tried to show him to Ruffie, but the cat never showed any interest at all. Believe me, this is not the norm for my neighborhood! I WILL pay close attention next time I let Ruffie go outside. This critter had some REALLY nice claws.

Well, I think the thunderstorms are moving in, so until next time.

Hugs and Blessings,

Shari

SAtURdAY in K-ViLLe

It has finally stopped raining and we actually had a nice sunny day! We had several chores around the house and I'm still dealing with the excess inventory from the Antique Marketplace Booth. My dining room has been the storage facility and it's about to drive me crazy! There's still tons of "stuff" and I don't have any extra room to store it all. Come Tuesday, I'm taking another load to Walnut Cove and see if I can get a few more things in my booth there.

~~~~~~~~~~

A little News tidbit.....my friend Deb has opened her web site, The Carolina Peddler, again! YIPEE! She has some really unique handmade items and will be slowly adding new goodies, so check it often! You can find it here:

I want to explain again about entering my web site contest for June. You can leave a comment on every single post that I make and get entered, again and again! It's fine with me if you just say HI! I LOVE to hear from you guys, regardless! LOL! I'm so glad so many folks are excited about the giveaway!

I've been busy most of today, so this is gonna be short for tonite. Resting (sort of) and watching a Hallmark movie.

Be back tomorrow!

ThURsDAY TrAVELS.....and FriDAy FiNDS

Kind of a dreary day for us in K-ville today! I had several errands including a trip back to Just Plain Country in Walnut Cove. I was going to add some lattice to my booth there, but couldn't find anyone that would cut it in half for me and I can't get a full sheet in my car. So, I guess I'll have to come up with PLAN B.

Since I first sat down here several hours ago, it has rained and rained. I think the forecast is for rain for most of FRIDAY. I'm thinkin' I might just stay close to home tomorrow. This has been such a busy week for me and I have accomplished alot, so maybe I'll just leisurely work on a few orders and clean my house a bit...

~~~~~~~~~~

FRIDAY

I have a few pictures to share.... including this crock filled with beautiful geraniums! These are SOOOO realistic, but I don't have to water them! I think they'll like living in my Dining Room....

I couldn't pass up this little crow hanger thingy.

He's so cute hanging from a little wrought iron hook along with my baskets...........

These fabulous herbs are perfect for my burgandy jug that sits on the floor in my bedroom, along with a sampler....

And my most favorite thing from Thursday's outing is this sifter thingy with a stitck. I originally thought it would fit over my Atrium doors in my breakfast nook, but it's too big....now I have to rethink where to put it.....it's over 3 feet long.......

~~~~~~~~~~

Finally, figured out where to put my sifters from a couple of weeks ago.........in my kitchen where my Saltbox house wreath used to be.....

Got the end of my hallway pretty much like I want it....still looking for a little lamp to use as a nite lite.........love my shaker boxes and chair.

Gonna wash my kitchen floor so I won't have to do it tomorrow.

Be back soon.

Shari

MuCH WorK on WedNEsDAy....

First of all, a big Thank you to all the folks that have entered my Web Site Giveaway for June (so far).........the 5th Anniversary of my web site is coming up on June 18th. In celebration, I thought it would be nice to have a really special giveaway for it. That's why I chose the items that I did. I had no idea that the Prize Package would be such a big hit. Remember everytime you leave a comment, YOU'RE ENTERED!! Plus you can send me an email..........
~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, on to other things............this is one of the things that I made today. I would love to get it on my web site, but I don't have a clue what to call it. Any ideas??? It is really kinda cool. I saw one similiar hanging near a fireplace, but you could hang it anywhere.

Also, I made this the other day and stained it today. My sister wanted one so I thought I would give it a shot. It pretty neat too. I think I'll call this a "Standing Towel Bar". Perfect for a tea towel or just a piece of homespun. A jar candle would be nice with it or grungy tapers, maybe.

~~~~~~~~~~

Whew!! Finally finished up this order that I have been working on (off and on) for over a week! I have to say, everything looks so GOOD! You know how sometimes things just work out and fall into place....this was one of those times.

Pillows, Dolls, Sheep, sheep and more sheep..........

Signs and more............

Big Ol' Eme Lou and more signs...........

Gracie, Dusting caps and Dresses.....

And Finally, three table benches in assorted colors!

It's beginning to be a little stormy out, so I'll be going for now...

Hugs,

Shari
