Been busy making my fall items, I now have them complete. My  booth at the Grapevine Antique & Craft Mall is now fully set up and loaded with my fall items and they are selling fast. Still need to add some more decorations but all else is done.  Really enjoyed setting everything up I created my space to my likings. Background is created with old doors and some barn wood, have my make do chair in it, baskets, wooden boxes and such. I will have to take a pic and post it. For now take a peek at my pics on my picturetrail. Have a great week!

Had a very nice Saturday to myself.  Plans to go Pickin' went pretty well. Stopped at a few yard & Barn sales. I did find some nice things like wooden boxes (had oil stains but a little oven cleaner will clean it up),  a wooden Ironing board for $5.00, some canning jars, Decorative wooden bowl (sand it down and repaint it),  an out house door, Rolling pins and some other primtives items. I had to stop at my favorite primitive antique shop for inspiration and ended up getting two  pieces for my booth display.  And the best part I didn't come home BROKE! It was an enjoyable day.

Looking forward to a great day tomorrow. Everyone will be doing something and I have desided to go pickin!. Yes off to find some treasure!  Still creating more fall prims for my booth at Grapevine antiques, Brodheadsville, PA. If you live in or near the Poconos stop by and check the place out. It's on face book too.

Primitives Really Make you feel good!

Yes I have been really busy making my Fall items check out my picture trail to see what is available. I am also proud to say that I have won 1st place and Best in Show for our County Fair's Scarecrow Contest! WooHoo! Check out the pic! Pattern is from Lucy's Lazy Day Primitives for the small but i had to enlarge the pattern for the large scarecrow.  I was only going to enter the large scarecorw but my youngest son encouraged me to enter both and go with the fair theme "Proud of our Heritage" and yes then and there my wheels were turning! Got the Crock, cabbage cutter and Jar of sauerkraut that we made, a watering can and rake. My theory of the idea was the father teaching the son how to plant and grow the cabbage and then make it into sauerkraut! wha la! Didn't really expect to win cause not everyone is into the prims but took a shot. I did what I like instead of thinking what someone else would be looking for. Needless to say when I went to the fair and looked around the corner to go and see the scarecrows and saw the sign for best in show was displayed at "MY" Scarecrow. I was overwhelmed! I had tears! My son just laughs and says your such a sap!   

Tomatoes Galore!  Just canned 34 Qt. Jars of stewed tomatoes, 26 jars of spaghetti sauce, and 21 jars of juice. WOW!  and there are still more hangin on the vine!  Can't see them go to waste though probably find other tomatoie things to make.  Sounds like a lot but less we have to buy in the store and you know what goes in it!  YUM! YUM! Been also working on fall primitives I will be posting shortly. Than you for being patient.
