This sign made by Tina is so funny! We sell this verse as fast as any we get! This one wont be here long!

I mean "What if the Hokey Pokey is what its all about....huh...hmmmmm..?????






These two large pillows are all hand stitched by Kathy and just came in recently! They are very well done and overstuffed! Priced well too, wont last long!








This wooden old crow came from Renee and he is primitive to the max and ready to hang in your nest!














This painted gourd came in from Cathy and its a nice one painted with a crow and sunflowers. Apple shaped and just the right size to add to your home decor!














Remember this 7ft tall display??? Well poof.....its gone! Left the building today bound for its new home at Robins house!


This was just one of three large furniture pieces that slipped out of the shop this week!








This pumpkin faced hobo is a real scene stealer. Made by Renee he just arrived recently and is just destined not to stay long! You gotta see him!













This pumpkin faced fellow hugging his crow also by Renee is another unique item that wont last long!
















The cat pillow is one of four handmade overstuffed holiday pillows by Kathy... the primitive scarecrow doll made by Tammy is an attention getter for sure! His big feet are so funny! You have to see him soon before he is gone. He is holding a stack of pumpkins made by Cindy on his lap!

These items are sitting in a ladder back chair with a handwoven rag seat! I wove the seat in blue and gold and its a nice chair for anyones home!

This wonderful handmade item went today. But not to worry, if you like the verse as much as we did you need to check out a handmade item Terry made today in shop! Very nice, very nice indeed!







These are but a few of this weeks new finds from consigners and our travels. Just remember if you like what you see here you have to get into the shop soon, as these are one of a kind handmade items and some of them cant be repeated!

There are many other items and more shipments are due in any day! We will be out shopping and scouring the state for more treasures on Monday!! I have already received some adorable handmade snowmen and Santa's from Barbara and Tammy that we will be sneaking out into the shop soon!

Keep checking back it wont be long till the shop just might look like Christmas!!!!!

On a personal note-

This week has been such a blessing to us in the shop. We have had so many nice customers/new & old friends to share their positive feelings about our shop and how we are running it and decorating it that the words thank you seem inadequate!

We love every minute of visiting with our customers/friends, helping them find the right items for their homes, loving on their kids, sharing our faith with them, as well as laughing together.

This shop has been my dream come true and it is such a blessing and so much fun, at times I am afraid someone will pinch me and I will wake from this dream! Being able to do what I love and making a living at it is just mind boggling sometimes!

Prayer request updates-

Larry Angle Sr.- My sister Terry's father in law has been removed from the respirator and is breathing on his own and actually talking again! He was sitting up a bit today and is trying to move his stroke damaged left side. He is getting more nutrients now and is regaining strength and even joked some with the family! The drainage tube was also removed from his bypass incision today! God is good!

Charles Shank- My uncle, they got him up out of his bed yesterday and helped him walk 4-5 steps with a walker in his room. That's absolutely monumental since just days ago they thought they would have to remove his left foot! God is good, all the time!

Joe Fox- Dad is doing better since he received two pints of blood, regaining his color and strength more everyday! He spent today watching the WVU-MU game at my house with the Hubs!!! GOOOO MOUNTAINEERS! Sorry I digress.....God is good all the time!!!! All the time God is good!!!

We are thankful for your prayers... they have worked and continue to work and we humbly request that you continue to pray for our family!

Good to see so many of you this week! Thanks again and stop in the shop soon!!!!!
There are a lot more treasures to uncover and laughs to share!

Much love!

Prayer Request Updates

Sorry for the short entry but needed to share info and really tired...

Updates on Prayer requests-

My sister Terry's father in law Larry Angle Sr., suffered a massive stroke today in CCU at CAMC General today. He hasn't fully woke up yet from the 5 bypass surgery so no one truly knows the extent of the stroke, but it doesn't seem good. He is only moving one side of his body. The cardiologist wants to operate again now but the neurosurgeon says if he does Mr Angle wont survive. His family spent every moment with him they were allowed today. Please keep praying!

My Uncle Charles Shank who was T-Boned on the motorcycle is showing some improvement today in CAMC Memorial, but its going to be a slow and arduous recovery. They still don't know if they will be able to save the one foot.

Joe Fox- Dad received two pints of blood today at Thomas Memorial Hospital and we hope this gets him back on his feet. He hasn't been really well for awhile now.

We are all exhausted from the hospital running but blessed to have them all with us. Please keep praying! We are praying that Gods will be done for all!

Much Love,

Debbie

New Items to Share and Request for Prayers for My Family

Just a few quick pics of new items that have arrived this week.

Does anyone else remember the "Can Stools"? My grandmother used to make them, and so did Lisa's. Lisa is a dear friend, sister if you don't count blood and she made this adorable piece of nostalgia and its on consignment in the shop. You have to see it! Let me know if your grandma made these too.




This lamp arrived this weekend on consignment, it was made by Michael one of our consigners. It is made out of recycled corrugated tin and its a big lamp! He even punched holes in the shade so that the Big Dipper would shine on your wall.
You gotta see it!















This handmade stitched pillow was purchased in Parkersburg this weekend at their 46th annual Harvest Festival. I purchased it and a few other unique ones to put in the shop. The work is wonderful and the pillow is put together very well, they wont last long.








This Old Glory pillow was also purchased in Parkersburg this weekend. Its a big pillow and it is awesome! I bet you it wont last until the weekend in the shop!











This large gourd with the cute raccoon face came in today from Cathy, one of our consigners. She does the cutest raccoon faces, and its another item that will sell quick!

Cathy's crow gourd sold Saturday! They don't last long!


SOLD!!!! THANK YOU!













This amazing plate stand was purchased, handmade by a lady in Parkersburg named Eve Adkins and it is wonderful. It isn't like any I have seen or had in the shop in the past and it got several serious looks today so it wont be hanging around long I'm sure.


Its now standing where the double door grey icebox style cabinet stood until Saturday when it sold!










This cute bucket full of candy corn bowl fillers also was picked up in Parkersburg this weekend and they are just to cute for words! There are only a few of them and they have been primmed and grunged and are toooo cute!











This primitive pear grungy bowl fillers were made by Tammy our resident doll maker and they smell as good as they look! You have to see and touch them to appreciate them.

These are just a few of the new items and a new consigner is coming on board this week. Don't miss out!






Prayer Lists-

On a serious note my family needs your prayers. Three members of our family are currently in need of prayer;

Joe Fox- My Dad, who will be in Thomas Memorial in the morning receiving two pints of blood. He has been losing blood for awhile and more tests will follow. He is on blood thinners after having a heart attack a few years back and he has trouble with blood loss from time to time, but this is the first time in two years that he has been bad enough to need blood.

Larry Angle, Sr- My sister Terry's father in law- He will be undergoing an emergency quadruple bypass in the morning at CAMC Memorial. A heart catheterization this morning found five blockages. He has had two small strokes recently, is undergoing wound care for a cut on his leg which has allowed a staph infection into his body, both of his carotids are almost totally blocked, he has five major heart blockages and an aneurysm in his stomach. All of this has just showed up in tests recently, he had never felt sick or been under doctors care in the past. Please pray for his recovery as he is scheduled to undergo surgery on the carotid blockages in a few days also.

Charles Shank- My moms 71 year old brother was T-boned on his motorcycle two days ago near Patrick Street and is in the Trauma unit at CAMC General. He has already had two surgery's on a foot they are trying to save, he has a broken nose, messed up eye, 2 damaged vertebra, a lot of skinned areas that will need grafting and other injuries. The healing process will be long and difficult and at home he is caregiver for his wife who undergoes dialysis three times a week, is blind, and has diabetes. Please pray for the family.

Thank you for praying for my family, we have faith that Gods will will be done. Please feel free to share these prayer requests with anyone else.

Much love to you all.

Debbie

Quick Post

The shop doesn't usually open on Sundays but today was Putnam County's annual Homecoming Celebration with music, a parade and other happenings located in the area surrounding the Putnam County courthouse. Since the shop is located in the same area as the courthouse I took a chance and opened the shop for a few hours in the middle of the day.
Because my normal partner in crime my sis Terry wasn't able to be there today due to a golf tourney fund raiser for my nephews high school basketball team my daughter Miranda came to help. That's her smiling face at the counter below... she was loads of entertainment along with mildly helpful...tee hee just kiddin Miranda! It was fun working with her!






Along with our normal shop inventory we sold ice cold drinks to those who came to watch the parade. This proved to be a very smart idea that we will have to expand on next year! Lots of hot thirsty people watched the parade!





Today we found out that our shop was not only a fun place to shop, but a cool place out of the heat to recharge and refill before folks trekked to their cars parked at the local high school. And also a nice place to shop and visit while the traffic jam cleared out after the parade!!!





We gave out small American flags to the kids too which proved to be a hit! We will plan on doing that again too!





Tomorrow Terry and I go shopping to restock inventory sold the last few days! It has been extremely busy this week and we have lots of new items being shipped that should arrive this week too! If you haven't been in in awhile you might want to change that this week!!! We are making some more changes inside the shop this week, as I have purchased some cute displays that we will be installing and also some mums to add to our landscaping outside as well!

Stop by and see us soon!
