What a shame!

I was sitting here last evening with my friend, Retha and Kathy from Just Plain Country ( I have a booth there ) called and told me that part of the building had collapsed! Thank God no one was injured! But, it is devastating for Kathy & Tim. At this point, we can't even get in there to get our "stuff". They are having engineers come in this morning to check it out and hopefully they can fix it quickly. The building is around 100 years old so there's no telling what they might find. My thoughts and prayers are with them and the folks that work for them....I'll let you know what happens.

Until next time.

Hugs,
Shari

Home Cookin' Sign

I just finished this up and wanted to see if I could get some opinions! This will be new for 2009 on my web site. What do y'all think? I was looking for something to sit on my stove top and a daughter, of a friend of mine, Miss Lauren, suggested this! I love how it turned out!

Hugs,

Can y'all believe that it's only 16 days till Christmas? This year has flown by! I went to Walnut Cove today to deliver a special order sign and take a few things to my booth there. There are soooo many nice primitive items there. I didn't find anything for myself today, but my friend Retha found an antique sled. I can't wait to see it...

Tomorrow is the DAY....that I am going to get my main Christmas tree up and decorated!!! In the morning, I am going shopping with my Mom & Dad so they finish up some shopping, but basically I am all done!!

Gonna go run the vaccume and get ready for tomorrow! Until next time....

November Winner

Hi y'all! I know I have been MIA for too long, but I just haven't had the chance to be here like I would like to..........BUT

I know a lot of folks are waiting to hear who the winner for the November contest was...I picked a winner, but she hasn't gotten back with me yet. I will give her a few more days and then I will pick someone else. Just wanted to give her ample time in case she was out of town, sick or something.

As soon as I get caught up on orders, I'll be back here posting and sharing as much as I can. The Christmas orders have been a little overwhelming for me this year and I had to make TODAY the cut off for Christmas delivery. I feel so blessed to be so busy, but sometimes I wish I had a little crew of Fairies to help me. Folks are really looking for and asking for the made in USA goodies. Next year, we are really going to focus on those types of items, plus more custom and personalized products.

My homemade Room Sprays are one of the most popular items that I am selling at the moment!

Folks are lovin' these! The scents are fabulous! And they make great gifts!

I can actually personalize the label!

This is a special order that I did for a customer. You can't imagine how CUTE this lantern looks with the greenery and the grungy pillar. It has glass on the front and will sit or hang.

Just wanted y'all to know that I am still around and until next time.

Hugs,

Shari

Thankful Days!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

We all have so much to be grateful for this year and I think it's nice to have a chance to really think about it! I AM so blessed to have met so many wonderful folks on line and to have the success with my site that I have had this year!!! My life would not be the same without each and everyone of y'all! We would never have met without the Internet, so I suppose we should all be really thankful for that. LOL!

It has been a while since I've posted and I can't believe the grief I get for it. It's such a busy time of year for me and sometimes I just can't get around to doing everything that I should. But, hopefully I can get back to it on a regular basis soon. It really is a lot of fun!

I didn't cook at all today...Bill & I went out for turkey and dressing. We are going to have our family Thanksgiving tomorrow with the kids. It was such a beautiful day today so we decided to go out and do a little shopping together. I was looking for burgandy decorations. This year, I want to change out all my Christmas red to burgandy. It's a lot harder than I thought it would be. All the decorations will be coming down from the attic soon and I'll post some Christmas pics.

Never got around to posting last months contest winnings, but here they are now! And there's still time to enter November's contest.

Marjorie chose these goodies for her gift certifcate. Enjoy!

And Karen chose soap balls and grungy tea lites for hers.

Patricia has been too busy to make her choices, so we're gonna wait until after Christmas for her to decide....

I'll be back soon! Until then...

Hugs,

Shari

I'm BACK!

Wow! I can't believe it has been soooooo long since I have posted. To be quite honest, I just haven't felt like doing much for a week or so. But, I am feeling better so I thought I would just post some pictures. That's easy enough and I don't have to use much brain to do it...........LOL!

This is a paper mache Saltbox house that I made for myself to go in my Living Room.

This is my bookcase corner. As you can see, we have lots & lots of books! We all love to read and collect! The top of the bookcases are filled with some of my quilts, antique baskets, couple of my handmade bears, a very, very old level that was my Grandfathers'. The small quilt on the wall is one that I made.

Top view where you can see another one of my Alladin oil lamps and a chess board that my hubby made 30 or so years ago from a circuit board. He even made the frame from some really wide moulding! It is really quite unique!

Well, that's about it for now. But, I'll be back soon!

Hugs,

Shari
