Craft shows are done for the year!!!! So............ I will be adding lots of new items to my Etsy shop over the next couple of days! Here are a couple of things I added today!

If you need Rusted Bedsprings with the wide top and bottom you can't go wrong with these! 16 of them for $15.00 and FREE SHIPPING!!! Get them while my supply lasts!

This cupboard is one of my favorite which my husband makes for me to prim up!

I had to make some cats to go with all the mice!!! I used a Tenneessee Ridge Primitive pattern to create this cutie!I love love love this Santa or shall I say Father Christmas! He was designed by my good friend Robin Leuschen at Bird in the Hand Primitives ... check out her blog here http://www.birdinthehandprimitives-robin.blogspot.com/

You can find these all listed in my Etsy shop at http://www.teresasprimtreasures.etsy.com

What I've been working on!

WOW!!! Why do I start so many things at one time?!?! I'll never know! It seems to take forever to get anything done but when I do........it feels so good! Here are some new "treasures" for the Holiday Celebrations that the Old Farmhouse Gathering team is having .... you can find my entries here http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5287236 . Some of these are also for a wholesale order and the Online Craft Show I'm in that will begin tomorrow!

I haven't made any new dolls lately so it was fun to create these Christmas dolls! Of course I had to name one after my new granddaughter Jillian. She is the one in the red dress holding the snowman!

New Cell Phone Necklaces!

I managed to finish some new cell phone necklaces for my last show which was on Saturday!

The weather was a little chilly, breezy and cloudy for the day but no rain!!! We had it all this year! The crowd was good and sales were about the same so I was a happy camper!

I actually took the time to walk around and check out the other booths! I think we were the only "handmade" primitive spot there and I had some nice compliments!

The week before I did a really small show at a Fall Gathering in Kings Gap State Park. It had lots of fun things for kids to do and in a really pretty location at the top of a small mountain.... actually is was a 4 mile winding narrow road to get to the top.

You could tell the people coming into my booth were not familiar with primitives. This one couple came into my booth and I heard the husband say to his wife....while looking at one of my wooden pieces....... "wow that must really be old". He turned around and asked me how old it was............ a little dumb founded I said "Awwww... two months" I then told him it was a reproduction, newly made by my husband and I painted it to look old! He was shocked and said I did a good job! LOL He was referring to the white one hanging here.

Hope all have enjoyed the short Fall season........at least here in PA it feels like winter already!!! I'm not looking forward to my son's football game on Saturday in the cold and damp weather! At least it is at 1:30 in the afternoon and not in the evening! Stay warm.........until next time!!! Have a great day!

Pumpkin Head Witch Doll ~ Mini Pumpkins ~ Mouse in the Pumpkin Patch

Gearing up for a Fall Celebration with the OFG Etsy Team! On Saturday I will be listing 3 new Fall/Halloween "treasures" in my Etsy shop.

I created this Pumpkinhead Witch Doll using a pattern by Veena's Mercantile! I just love the design. She is wearing a fabric made candy corn around her neck and carries a bag of fresh cut Sweet Annie.

I made the mini 2 1/2" pumpkins from painted osnaburg, a stick, wire vine and some wool leaves. So cute for a shelf, cupboard or bowl.

The mouse sits proudly in an antique soap dish with 2 tiny little fabric made pumpkins and his "For Sale" sign.

Craft Show report!

Well............. the weather forecast was showing rain all day!!!!!!!!! Was not looking forward to setting up in the rain but fortunately it held off until around 10:00 or so! We were prepared so all went well. It didn't stop the customers from shopping! The sun did eventually come out in the afternoon but then it was very humid and hot! Don't know which was worse! Today it is chilly here in PA! Too bad this front didn't move in a couple of days earlier!

It was so nice to see all of you who stopped by to see me! It's so nice to meet online friends in person!

The wood toaster covers and the Halloween blocks were a big hit so I will need to be replacing some of those for my next show in October!

In the front left hand corner of the table are some of the bowls that my son turned on the lathe. He inherited his grandfathers old lathe and really enjoys using it.

My next show is October 10th so I have a few weeks to prepare which will be nice! Need to reorganize my craft room so I can find what I'm looking for...........it was getting pretty bad!

Preparing for Shippensburg Corn Festival!

Saturday is coming toooooooooooo fast!!! Today I'm finishing up some mice for the show and needed a break so I thought I would share a picture or two with you! I love these old funnels, vintage tumbler holders, baby shoes and old strainers.............the mice fit in them perfectly! I found this new angel twig too which I like working with.

Saturday looks like rain so hopefully everyone will grab a raincoat and umbrella and still come shopping! At least it won't be so hot like it usually is!

And I must stick a picture in here of my precious little Granddaughter Jillian!!! She is a tiny little bundle of joy!! It has been a busy 3 weeks!

Craft Show Pictures!

Here are a couple of pictures from the show on Saturday!

Around 3:00 we received word that 60 mile an hour winds and hail were headed out way! Yikes!!! That was scary! Needless to say we started packing up real quick!!! We were prepared so nothing was lost but it is such a pain packing up in the rain! It poured down rain for the next 2 hours but fortunately we did not have the wind and hail! Thank goodness someone was watching out for us! As we put the last piece of props into the truck and shut the tailgate the sun popped out!
