I finally made it to Pilot Mountain today....I took quite a load up there this time. Here's a few pics

Lots of birds this time. I hope folks like them as much as they do on my web site.

Lately, I have been making at least doubles when I make something...that way I always have some things made up.

This jumbo crow on a stick has done really well on my web site.

At Pilot Mountain, I sell lots of folk art flowers, signs of all sizes, room sprays and seasonal.

I think I would sell more table servers and small dough boards if folks knew how to use them. Maybe one day, I can set up displays with just wood items to give folks ideas on what to do.

~~~~~~~~~~

I want you all to know how much I appreciate each and everyone of you. I have so many blog followers and never expected this kind of response.  There was huge amount of entries for the May giveaway from my blog and from sending emails. I'm gonna do something a little extra for June because I opened my web site JUNE 18th, 2004!!!! June is my web site anniversary month!! Six years and counting!!!

Who would think that I would still be plugging along? So many friends have long since closed their sites and stores. But, I have the best customers out there and some have been with me since the beginning. Starting tomorrow, I'll be having something special every few days, so keep checking my site to see what it is.

For starters, FREE GIFT WITH EVERY PURCHASE!

Be back soon!

Hugs,

Shari

The Wait is OVER!

After being on a WAITING list for a booth at a LOCAL Antique Market Place, Deb, Retha and I are getting a space on March 1st. YIPEE! A big, wonderful, close location for all three of us. Did I mention CLOSE??? No more, than say a 15 minute drive. We could actually go there everyday and take our wares. How exciting! This is what I have personally been wanting for a very long, long time. We all have such wonderful ideas to make this little venture successful! Part of the plan (so far) is wanting to push the fact that our goodies are mostly handmade by us, right here in NC! ( This is a fabulous selling point!) I can't wait to get started! Keep your fingers crossed for us!

The Market Place is one of the nicest and largest Malls ( over 45,000 sq. feet with over 150 vendors) that I have ever been in. Today, was my first visit there and I immediately fell in love with the place and found lots of treasures! And as I normally do, I had to bring a few things home with me. One thing is an old, little dough board that is absolutely precious. I've never seen one this small and I'm not sure where it will go, but I LOVED it. Another thing that I found was the little red (cardinal) bird, so grungy and prim, I just loved him too!! And lastly another little wood bowl to add to my collection.

Something else came home with me, but I'll save it for tomorrow. I kept telling Retha and Deb about all kinds of things that I loved, but needless to say they wouldn't buy me anything!! LOL!!

I must say that it has been a very busy day for me. Working on orders this morning, going out for supplies before lunch and then the call from Retha about the Booth space and spending part of the afternoon there. Then later on, to the post office and out to eat....I am pooped!! I had planned to watch TV tonight, but not sure if I'm even going to do that. Hubby will be home tomorrow, the kids and grandkids are coming by and Friday is sure to be just as busy!! Don't you just love it???

Until next time.
Hugs,
Shari

Friday Favorite Finds

HAPPY FRIDAY Y'ALL!

It tried to rain almost all day today, but it never really amounted (is this a word?) to anything. I started my day by taking the garbage to the curb for pick-up. It was cold and wet and I really didn't want to participate, but I had so much "stuff" in the garage that Bill doesn't know what stays or what goes. So, it was my job to do it today. And after waiting until the last possible moment, I got everything gathered up and out the door. But, my point is...when I was walking down the drive, I had to stop and listen. There must have been hundreds of birds in my trees. And they were all talking to each other. It would be interesting to hear what kind of story they would tell about a cold, wet Friday! I stood and listened for a few minutes with a smile on my face and then scambered back in my house for another cup of coffee. It was a good start for my day!

This favorite find is a gift more than a find. This little chalkware puppy belonged to my Grandmother (Maw) Maggie Patton. It was hers when she was a little girl and I think it is just fabulous! It is one of a few things that I have of hers. I keep it in my china cabinet, but when I was a little girl it sat on a bookcase along with a lot of other treasures. ( I just didn't realize it at the time. Wish I knew then what I know now and I would have paid more attention! LOL!!)

Almost forgot!! Todays Special on my web site:

Until next time.
