It's June 1st and everything around my yard is SOOOOOOOOO green! Our yard looks great and the trees & bushes are so nice this year, full of birds!

Almost time to re-do the front porch for Summer.........

Thought I would share the last of my pansys....they'll be gone soon. It's supposed to be in the 90's this week. I've been waiting to plant my Summer flowers. Just didn't have the heart to dig these up.

They have been so pretty and colorful! One of my favorites!

Be back soon! And once again, Congratulations to the winners!

My sister came to visit again on Saturday! I have seen her more in the past month than I have in a couple of years combined! She brought me this REALLY cute foot stool with a black and mustard woven fabric cover. ( It goes really well with the runner I bought at Crockett's Store in Fancy Gap.)

And also this little stitchery to add to my collection!

We had so much fun spending the day together, just the two of us. I picked her up in Winston-Salem, brought her back to my house for a while, loaded up my wagon with goodies and went to Walnut Cove. Added lots of new items to my booth there and then shopped around a little bit. She found several things to take home with her. ( Oh shoot, forgot to take pics ) I had made her a kneeling bench that she is using at her fireplace ( like mine). She decided to do it similiar to the way I have done mine. After Walnut Cove, we came back to my house once again and realized that we had just enough time to run over to the Antique Marketplace in Greensboro. She found a few more things, including a runner like I had gotten last week out of the red/beige woven fabric.

This is the one I bought last week...very, very nice!

Gotta run for now! Last day to enter my giveaways!! Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Hugs,

Shari

FRiDay FAvoRiTES.....or not?

Just a few things to share.......

Another busy day in K-ville on this rainy Friday. I think I am running out of my favorite things to post, so maybe I'll just share some of the things that I have been working on all week and a few things that I found when I went shopping this week.

I was so excited when I found this whale tale shelf. The perfect size for a pottery jug and woodeden plate.

A new black board with wrought iron hooks. It fits perfectly at the end of my breakfast bar.

Finally, figured out that I like the little mustard table best beside this chair. You can barely see the tobacco stick ladder in the corner. Retha gave it to me...it's good size for a corner.

My sofa with the new pillows. And Mr. Ruffie relaxing...I don't think he wanted his picture taken...

~~~~~~~~~~

Until next time.

Afterthought....does anyone know what I can do to keep my internet from shutting down when I go to blogs that are photo intensive or that play music???????Almost every single time, my computer will just STOP....any ideas?? I have Vista as my operating system.

ShORT WEEk...

This has been the screwiest week for me. When we have a Holiday on Monday, my whole week is topsy turvy! Hubby was home so I didn't get as much done as I would have liked to. Tuesday, I played catch-up from Monday. And again yesterday, I worked on orders, packed them up and got to the post office before they closed. We had rain and storms, and then rain and then more rain to the point our electricity went out last night. Not sure exactly what happened, but know for sure it's always a lot of fun when the lights go out!! I'm always reminded of how much we are so dependent on electricity when ours goes out. I had to scramble to find emergency candles and a flashlight. You'd think that I would have a stash of both as I can't remember how many times it went out last Summer....almost everytime it stormed. Last evening, it went out around 10:00 and came back on in the wee hours of the morning. Can't tell you how many times I sat down at the computer or tried to switch on lights. Too Funny!!

We had rain off and on all day today. And they're calling for rain and storms for tomorrow. Our grass is growing like crazy and by the time Bill can get around to it, it'll be even worse. I should get out there and try to mow it myself, but.......I'm so far behind on orders and web site "stuff" that I will probably end up working some this weekend.

I went to a new Dr. today and we all know how much fun that can be. Personally, I think it's a waste of time. I had planned to take a month off from Drs., medicine and the whole bit, but noticed that I'm a little pale and my breathing isn't what it should be, so I picked up my NEW medication on Tuesday. The side effects are not too bad, although I got really nauseated this afternoon. It quickly passed, so I'm good to go.

I also went shopping for a couple of outfits for our up-coming trip in JULY. It normally takes me forever to find a dress, but I really lucked up today and found several things that will work nicely. I tried on tons of dresses at the Mall and 3 came home with me plus a formal look pant suit. I tried them all on for Bill and Cait and they couldn't decide which they like best. Bill says keep 2 of them........we'll see.

This makes my 205 post and 3 days left to enter my giveaways!

There's a pile of stitcheres over here calling out my name, so I should run for now.

Be back with pics soon.

JuSt A TuESDaY....

Hope everyone had an enjoyable Memorial Day! We had a nice visit with my Sister (Elaine) and Brother-in-Law (Dale). They were here because Dale's Mom is in Baptist Hospital at Winston-Salem. Our thoughts and prayers are with y'all.
Today was a busy one for me! Worked on several different orders, got them packed up and shipped. I am so blessed to be busy with orders from my web site. I know many of you are struggling and I truly wish you the best. I know things will be picking up soon, you just gotta hang on...........
Just a reminder....still a few days left to enter the giveaways for May. I have to say, I am shocked at all the folks who have entered! The most ever in one month!
It's getting late and I think I'll get ready for bed and watch FRAZIER. He's one of my favorites to watch at 11:00 and again from 12:00-1:00. Usually by then I can fall asleep for at least a few hours..........
Be back soon.
Hugs and Blessings,
Shari

SuNDAy EveNiNG...

Well folks, "Handmadens" has officially CLOSED our booth at the Antique Marketplace in Greensboro! Retha and I went this afternoon and picked up the last of our "stuff" and the rest of the displays. What a job, not near as much fun as when we were taking it in and setting it up. It was pouring down rain and that just made it worse....I am still having a lot of mixed emotions about it. They were so busy today that we could hardly get up and down the aisles. I just have to wonder if we could have waited a couple more months, maybe it really would have made a difference. I know in my head that people came there looking for Antiques and it was probably just a fluke that we sold anything at all, but still............I put my heart in to it and it's sad for me.
On a happier note, I have lots and lots of goodies to take to Walnut Cove AND to put on my web site at bargain prices!! Check it often as some things are selling almost as soon as I get them on there..........
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Hugs,
Shari
