THuRsDay Already!

It has turned back to Winter in K-ville today! It was in the 80's yesterday and they're calling for freezing rain on Friday! What a hoot! I had some errands to do today and thought I would freeze my fanny off. I had to drag out my wool coat again.....

Where has this week gone? I had so many plans and to be perfectly honest...lots of stuff just ain't gonna get done this week!! LOL!! I think I need to organize my time a little better. Hubby was out of town for several days and I usually get soooo much done when he's not here, but not this time. Maybe, I'm just getting old.

A wonderful thing happened yesterday that I would like to share! Rondell over at Tomatoe Creek Prims and I decided a little while ago, to do a trade. (She has a fabulous blog
http://rondell-tomatoecreekprims.blogspot.com/, check it out if you haven't before.)
I had seen this lovely stitchery on her blog and fell in love with it. Being the obviously Sweet person that she is, offered to get one for me and send it to me! So this was the start of our trade. She chose the set of Shaker Boxes from my site. But, I had no IDEA that she would go to the trouble of also including the fabulous little BIRD! and the note pad! How did she know that I absolutely adore birds and was so excited to get this one. A perfect trade for me!!! I love, love, love everything! Thank you so much, Rondell!!!

The note pad is too cute....and the note was so sweet! I would love to go shopping at the Country Store where these goodies came from!



I put the stitchery and the bird on my crock bench at the front door. Everyone can see them when they walk in my foyer. Whoever did the stitchery, did a beautiful job on it! Very impressive !

Another couple of little updates to share..........our new booth at the Antique Market Place is doing sooo well! I couldn't be more pleased for no longer than we have been there. Retha and Deb are also happy with the sales. I have a feeling that we are going to stay pretty busy keeping the booth stocked the way it should be. Right now we have holes every time we sell something, you can tell things are missing. (Too funny) It's pretty full now, but they keep telling us to have it packed.

And my booth at Walnut Cove is doing fabulous since their re-opening last Saturday!!! Praise God! I really wasn't sure how they would do after being closed for 4 months. But, apparently they still have their customer support, which is great in these horrible economic times.

I'm getting up early tomorrow and catch up on my blog reading! Just haven't had much of a chance so far this week..............How do you other guys do it??? I see some folks that have a blog list that goes on and on. How do you have the time to follow them all? I wish I could figure it out.

Until next time........
Hugs and Blessings,

10 days and counting.....

HAPPY WEDNESDAY Y'ALL!


It has been a cold, rainy and miserable day in K-ville today. The kind of day that would have perfect to curl up with a cup of tea, your favorite blankie with a kitty on your lap and read a good book. Those fabulous Spring like days with the 60's and 70's temperatures have disappeared. Winter time has returned!

Well, the days are flying by and now we have 10 days until we can move into the booth at the Market Place. There's been a few times that I have almost had a melt down! But, Retha assures me that she has tons of GOODIES to fill up the space, so I am relaxing a little more today. I am just so thankful that they didn't wait until the last day to call us. Then I would have been in a TIZZY! LOL!! We have had at least a little time to get our thoughts and plans together.


My plate is getting a little full with orders, the craft mall and the makeover at my web site. I can't complain about not having anything to do.......every day has been nice and full. Can't believe that tomorrow is Thursday already. And FRIDAY is when the new goodies will be on my web site! I'm excited to see what folks think about it. Be sure and check it out:

The discount sale ends tomorrow on the 19th. Details are on the front page of my site.


These were found in the garage a couple of weeks ago and I have done a "re-do" on 'em this week. I think they turned out pretty cool. The candlesticks are a hod podge collection that I just spray painted black & added grungy tapers. Not sure where they will end up though.


The jar is one that Mom had saved for me. It was originally filled with bean salad with a screw on lid. The lid shown was one that was zinc colored, but it didn't work for me. So, I very carefully spray painted it as well. Much better for my taste. I think this will end up on my counter....I kinda like it filled with the little rag balls.

There are still "to do" or "re-do" projects in the garage, but I am really pleased with the progress that I have made. There are still several things that I would like to finish this week, but I'm doubtful that is going to happen. Almost enough room to get the 2ND car in! Woo Hoo!!


Wanted y'all to see this stitchery that Cait has made for me. She did a really nice job and I love the way it turned out. She has a great stitching technique and it looks fabulous. We hope to get this added soon to my web site...look for it in the near future!


That's all for this Wednesday evening.

Until next time.

Hugs,

Shari
