Happy Memorial Day....

Good Morning Folks!
 
Hope you all are having a great Holiday weekend!
 
It's a beautiful morning here and the birds are singing loud and clear! Wonder if they're celebrating too?
 
~~~~~~~~~~
 
I started a post on Friday, but never got around to finishing it. I did something last Thursday that I don't do very often....I went "pickin". Found a few things that I had to bring home with me.
 

 
~~~~~~~~~~
I have a web site sale through the 30th...stop by if you can. Posted a few new things this morning.
 
 
 
Thanks for stopping by!

Monday morning....

Good Morning All!
It's a bit cool here in NC this morning. The sun is shining and it's going to be a great Monday! I have lots to do today and have my list ready to go!
 
I never found the time to post Happy Mother's Day yesterday, so I'll just say that I hope all you Mom's out there had a great day!
 
~~~~~~~~~~
I'm still working on new goodies when I get a chance to...it seems there's not a lot of time for creating these new "olde treasures". I love doing the wood pieces and seeing what happens when I just go to the workshop and start cutting and hammering...
This is the another make-do wall shelf that would be perfect for a plate or framed stitchery. There's also a wire at the bottom for hanging something on. I even made the little rusty hooks that are hanging on the wire. TOO CUTE and PRIM!
It's a one-of-a-kind piece and can be found on my web site.
 
Would love to hear from you!
Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs,
Shari

Thursday evening....

Good Evening Folks!
 
Thursday is almost over and I have had a full day! Working on orders and in between finishing up a few new things.
 
I made this "special order" for a "special customer"....
 
 
Love, love, love how it turned out. I'll have it on my web site soon. Trying to make all the news to be unique and different. All will have their own "aged" look.
 
This is another new piece that will be available soon...
 

olde prim peg is perfect for a basket....the peg is about 6.5 inches long....these are available in your choice of colors with my new grungy finish. This is burgundy over black.
 
~~~~~~~~~~
 
I hear my sewing machine calling me to finish a doll, so I'll close for now...be back soon with more new pieces.
 
Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs,
Shari

Wednesday....

Good Morning Folks!
 
I think it's going to be another drippy morning in K-ville. It's so hard to finish projects when it's so rainy. Signs are almost impossible to get dry in a timely manner and you can forget tea-dying unless it fits in the oven. Looking forward to Sunshine for tomorrow.
 
Still posting a few new things on my web site...this sign is back~
 


 
Not nearly as bright in person. This one is burgundy over black.
Find it on my web site:

Tuesday...

Good Morning Folks!
 
I'm trying to figure out some new items to make...I probably need to work on some Fall designs, but I'm not so sure that folks still decorate a whole lot for the Seasons. I'm finding that folks like everyday goodies best. Personally, I don't change out stuff much any more...just don't have the time or energy. 
 
I need an opinion or two...should i paint these bowls or leave them as they are. I love the idea of stacking them in a chair, but wasn't sure what to do.
 
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs, Shari

Rainy Tuesday.....

 
Good Monday Morning!
 
Hope everyone had a great weekend! We did and accomplished a lot, even with the weather. It's still cold here and supposed to rain most of the day. Great time to stay in and work on orders......
 
Just a quick post to tell you that "BELLA" is on my web site to order in your choice of colors!
 
Several folks had inquired about when she was going to be available, so I decided to offer her.
 
 
 
Thanks for stopping by!

Cool Sunday morning....

 
Good Morning Folks!
 
I do believe Winter has returned to NC! It is freezing here this morning. We kinda got spoiled with the nice, sunny, warm days and now it's cloudy, cold and trying to rain. Forget about capris and flip flops for a few days....
~~~~~~~~~~
Well, I have to say that I have gotten pretty good reviews from folks regarding my web site changes. They seem to like the new goodies and the ease of seeing everything in one category. I got two orders yesterday and sold some re-purposed items. Yay! I'm hoping to replace the sold items with new items, so there will always be something new to see.
 
This is some of the new items:
The bottles are old and re-purposed. I made the "counter shelf" as I call it. It's perfect to hold jars or even books! Just a neat piece with the new aged finished that I'm doing.

I posted this today:
Crazy Quilt Heart..perfect to hang on a peg or nail board. Folks love hearts any time of the year!
 
~~~~~~~~~~
 
I wanted y'all to see how our little garden is doing. We have radishes, carrots and lettuce. The radishes have gone crazy! We  have tons! The lettuce is great too! Great on sandwiches and hamburgers! I've even mixed in a bit with our tossed salads. The carrots, we're not sure about...never known anyone that grew any around here.
 
~~~~~~~~~
 
In closing.....The other night when I was working on my web site, I decided to check out my links page...I am absolutely amazed at all the web site links that don't work anymore. Have all these folks gone out of business? It's so sad to me. I love my web site and work hard to keep it going...any thoughts?
 
Thanks for stopping by today and stop by my web site if you get a chance.
 
Hugs,
Shari

New thoughts, new ideas....

Good morning!
 
After almost nine years of www.homespunandprimitives.com, we have decided that we need to make some major changes. We are offering a new line called the "Olde Prim Collection". I have done away with all the confusing categories and will be posting all my items to the one. There will be only 20-30 items (total) at any given time, so it will be quick to scroll through to see what's new. We're still offering Handmades, but now we'll have "Re-purposed", "One-of-a-kind" items and "Gatherings" as well. All with the older look and feel. We're hoping folks will be stopping by often to see what's new and different.
 
Here's a peek:
 

 
 
Stop by if you get a chance! It'll only take a minute!
 
Hugs, Shari

New goodies ....

Happy Wednesday!
 
Well, I am finally getting the time to post some of my new handmade prims. I have a new category on my web site called
 
"Olde and Early"
 
I am hoping to keep adding olde timey items on a regular basis. Folks seem to like the "look".
 
These are a few of the items so far.
 
 
Sugar cones and boards...folks are loving the blue and pumpkin colors!
 
old make-do nail board.
I have grungy hearts hanging on the nails. They are made to look rusty. Kind a cool actually. Stars coming soon.
Olde tombstone top shelf...perfect with a candle or jar.
 

 
Olde biscuit board...already a best seller!
 
~~~~~~~~~~
 
I'm still doing the "DEAL" of the day. It's a set of Ditty Bags!
 
check it out:
 

Thanks for stopping by and check out my web site for more goodies!
