New Treats to Tempt

This past week we received some new consigned items, as well as some new shipments of candles, framed prints, and other items and we were busy creating things ourselves! See for yourself below.....

Terry created several new Spring and Summer themed wreaths this week in beautiful colors!

Tammy brought in the mama hen and chicks and Scott made the big square black over red bowl.

Kathy brought in several hand stitched pillows this week...this red tabby is a beauty!

This striped kitty looks almost regal...

Kathy brought us these two pillows with the hen and rooster, they are really sweet!


We received a small shipment of new framed prints in also.
But they are already going fast!

This new picture shows a sleeping cat on a beautiful iron bed....

This Jacobs barn is a classic.

These four tiny pillows were stitched by Kathy also....

Ahh Americana what a sweet theme, this one by Kathy just arrived.

Scott brought in this sweet cabinet this week. The finish looks sooooo real you would swear its a vintage piece and not a reproduction...

Debby brought in these cute little primmed pinwheels! They are very very cute!!!

Darrell created this rustic shelf with its rusty bent nail hooks.

Terry and I worked on this special order cabinet for a special customer.
Terry painted a very nice sheep on the door! And when they customer took one look at it she snatched it up and ran!!! LOL!

The new mantel vignette shows new candle holders from Darrell as well as some other items that just arrived in a recent shipment.

This primitive wreath with its handmade angel, sewn by Tammy, was specially created by Terry for a friends funeral service. David Bennett was his name.

We will miss David he was a good man and a friend. And we were honored that a group of his friends commissioned us to create this wreath for the service.
Our prayers go out to his widow Lori and their two daughters.


ON A LIGHTER NOTE:


This week I am excited to say that I have been emailing with Kindra of " Three Guys a Girl and a Prim Place" blog.


She makes some wonderful pieces and we are currently trying to figure out if we can get some shipped to stock in the shop!

Check out her blog at http://3guysagirlandaprimplace.blogspot.com/ and see if you don't agree that she is awesome.

Also our Spring Sale is still going strong!
We have been adding more items everyday and will continue this sale the rest of the month of April and maybe just maybe if we get enough requests...into the first half of May also!
We may be adding EVEN MORE furniture items in the coming days also!!!
Keep checking in!!!
It was great to see Tina and Ted stopping by this week on their Harley!!! We missed you Tina can't wait to see what you bring us this week!!!!
God Bless,
Debbie

Nifty 50?????? Heck NO!!!!!!



Sorry I haven't posted in a few days...been going through some medical tests and numerous doctor appointments...sigh...


How come no one warns you that after you turn 50 it all goes south???? Geez Louis is everyone over 50 sworn to secrecy on this or what???


I mean its like a conspiracy, one minute I was fine... and the next I am falling completely apart! What should run doesn't, what shouldn't run leaks, and every where there are lumps and bumps and UFO's..... I mean really whose idea of funny is this????


I feel like I have been folded stapled and mutilated! I know what the chaff on those contested ballots feels like now!!!! Arggh and I have to go back and have more fun at another appointment tommorrow! Calgon take me away!!!!!


Sigh...50 isnt to nifty if you ask me.... One more medical appointment could push me over the delicate edge!!!


Those of you who know me know that I hide my own Easter eggs from time to time so lately I am really feeling like my cheese is not only sliding off my cracker, but also off plate, table, and floor onto the bare cold ground!!!!!

Pray for me if you can and laugh with me if you will I am officially a medical mess!!!!!



Thanks for letting me get this off my chest...oh yeah and at least one of the tests the lovely wonderful mammogram came out good! LOL wonderful I could have slammed it in the refrigerator door at home for free...LOL

Sign me,

Lots of Love and Currently Looney Tunes!

These two are so much fun, they look like they cant wait for their next adventure!
June created these also.

Still another cutie from June.
All June's dolls are unique and each has it's own special name.

This sweet little primmed vintage rocker is an oldie. Terry put some finishing touches on it today with a red over green finish, it would make a wonderful addition to anyone's primitive home! It would look great holding a primitive doll or bear.....hmmm wonder where a person could get one of those...wink wink wink! ;)

This sagey green primitive bench was built by Mike and primmed today by Terry. It stacks marvelously on top of the blue one Mike also made!

Terry created this primitive doll wreath, its flanked by a pair of rooster shutters created by Scott. Scott is our newest furniture maker and he lives in Hurricane.

Sorry for the fuzzy close up pic, I get excited when new stuff arrives!

Scott created this sweet square bowl in black over red... very nice one! It would make a great centerpiece on any table!

This neat checkerboard was one of two that Scott brought in yesterday!
They are just awesome they look just like something you would see in Country Sampler magazine! I know they wont be in the shop long!

Another great pair of primitive shutters from Scott.
These two have the sheep motif on them!

This tall narrow chimney style cabinet was built by Mike and primmed by Terry. Its an awesome one! It would make some sweet storage for anyone's primitive home!

This quartet of speckled eggs is just waiting to go home to your Easter basket!
We just received this sweet lil lighted tabletop church in a new shipment.
Perfect to add to your Easter decorations!
We just purchased this vintage high chair from a local estate this week. It is at least 50 years old and possibly older. It still has its original finish and all its working hardware. Its way to nice to stay in the shop long!
This mischievous cat came from Tina's creative mind.
He is painted and collaged on canvas and his story is written all around him.
It is sooo much fun that everyone giggles when they see it!

This handpainted vintage bucket with Moon face came from Tina this week too! Its another unique piece.

Danny built his wonderful potting table. Its prim green finish would make an awesome accent to any ones porch!

Sadly all the snowmen who were inhabiting the bathtub headed North for the summer. But now the tub is chock full of wonderful throw pillows! Some are handmade one of a kind too!

We received a variety of sweet coasters in this week also and this kitty is just one example of them!

What can I say about this sweet lil puddy tat purse??? I mean really??? How long did I think this handpainted bag by Tina would be in the shop??? Well more than 15 minutes that's for sure! Yep it sold within 15 minutes of its arrival! Holy smoke! Good thing she is bringing some more unique handpainted ones soon huh?

This #4 crock and jug arrived this week also! Sweet!

This sweet primitive grungy bunny pair have wire whiskers and square nail noses! They are selling fast! Tammy created these for us!

This lil hand decorated child's desk chair was painted by Terry in shop! Its very nice!

Ron built this great triplex birdhouse and Terry and I primmed it out! Doesn't it look like it has been hanging near the beach for years???? Any bird would love to call it home...

Ahh Betsy...what a sweet face this lil primitive gal has. Tammy created this one of a kind sunflower babe, she is just the best! She was sitting in a sunflower motif handpainted chair by Tina when this picture was taken, that chair has since sold. The doll is sure to quickly follow.

This grungy hen and her two star covered eggs just flew in from Tammy and its darling! You must see and feel this weighted lady!


This unique rabbit with his saddlebags full of carrots hopped in from Tammy's house. He is really neat to! You gotta see some of her newest pieces in person before they are gone!
These are but a few of our newest pieces, some of the new ones sold before I could even get pictures and others are arriving daily! Stop by soon!!!!

New Furniture Consigner


We have recently welcomed a new furniture consigner on board. Mike creates some pretty sweet colonial and primitive style pieces. He will be taking orders for custom pieces also.
This slim open shelving piece primmed out in black would work wonderful to hold cd's, dvd's or even bathroom needfuls!



This white washed and stained beadboard shelf would be awesome anywhere! He makes these in multiple sizes and they can be finished in many colors and or stain.

This neat primitive shelf has a freehand stretched star cutout backed by rusty wire mesh, its a great piece.

This is a closeup of the freehand cut stretched star motif on the shelf above.

Check out some of his furniture now in the shop.... He will be creating more pieces you can be sure. He is meticulous and very talented!


This primmed and stained candle box above is another sweet piece. It looks and feels vintage instead of new!


Stop by soon and check out all of Mike's furniture. He brings it into the shop unfinished and we hand finish it for him. We are currently working on four more pieces. They should be out by the next week!

Stop in soon!
