My new Wool Basket!

I was so excited when the mailman knocked on my door today!! I wanted something to hold my wool strips for rug hooking and found the perfect basket from 1803 Ohio Farm Baskets ! I just love the shape and look of this basket! Comes with the nice sheep wool label mounted on a piece of wood! Thanks so much Ann!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And.....I might add she has super quick shipping!!!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

I hope this post finds you all rested from the Holiday season and refreshed for a new and prospers year ahead!!! It's been a long time since I made a post! I wanted to share some of my mom's wonderful antiques. Last year I made her a calendar using pictures of her beautiful antique displays and she really enjoyed it so I had to do the same for her this year! Here are a few pictures I used! The summer issue of the Mercantile Gathering magazine will be featuring her story too so be sure to watch for that! She has been anxiously awaiting for a year now to have it published!

This is my most favorite cupboard and one of her first pieces she purchased!


A black window cupboard filled with some wonderful prims!
She loves blue........as you can see with this shelf, bowls and really old drying rack! The prairie bonnet is one of mine made from my most favorite piece of blue fabric!

Another window box filled with prims.


I need to find out the story on this rocking horse.... I think it was hers when she was little but I'm not sure! I know years ago they had it painted and she really wishes she hadn't done it! It still is a beauty!


And one more blue piece.......a beautiful blanket chest!



Here are some lily pads my dad planted last year in the pond. My brother-in-law put some carp in pond and we think they ate them because this past summer they didn't grow!

Until next time................ Happy New Year and looking forward to an even better 2011!!!

Shippensburg Corn Festival Craft Show Pictures

Two shows in one month is way more than I can handle!!! Not really sure how those crafters that go every weekend do it! It was so nice setting up the booth on Saturday morning!!! The humidity was gone and the temperature was in the low 60's... we actually had jackets on! This was a first in many many years!!! All was going well until my big old barn door came crashing down on the back of my leg!!! Ouch..............it hurt!!! After a few tears and the stinging stopped I finished unpacking the truck!!! It just hurts to touch it but the whole back of my leg is going to be one big black and blue mark! Okay......enough whining about me! LOL It was a perfect summer day so lots of happy people and shoppers filled the streets of Shippensburg!!! I did manage to get some pictures of the booth but totally forgot to get my camera out when Lori (TheBlackCrow) and Wanda a new friend on Facebook stopped by! If I only had a brain! LOL
I had two of my sisters helping me set up...... Linda and Christa worked on the Christmas corner and the ornament tree which I was real happy with which is the first picture here.

The Halloween stockings here on the right of this picture were a big hit this year so I do need to get busy and make more of them for the next show in October.




Well....... until next time!!! Have a great day! I need to get back to work........break is over!!!
