Sifter Frame & PHM update!
New offerings on Primitive Handmades Mercantile tonight at 9pm est! Summer has flown by and Fall is fast approching and will be gone before we know it!
August is probably my busiest month of the year with 2 shows!
I didn't take one picture on Saturday at the Lititz show.... I have no idea why... I felt so unorganized for some reason! Could have been the humidity and worry of storms........ which by the way held off until we packed in record time because one was coming!
Next Saturday is the Shippensburg Corn Festival, Shippensburg, PA! It's a nice show with about 200 vendors down main street of town.
My space number is D207 if you by chance are coming......... look me up!
Jeff has left his banking job and is now my full time woodworker! Not sure how that is working out some days! LOL A big adjustment for me!
I hope to get some new ideas on the table saw as soon as these shows are over!
I loved these for my hooked rugs and if you would like to order a frame like this Jeff is ready to start making them!
They measure 12" by 12" and are made from reclaimed oak barn boards! The price is $36.00 plus shipping! Just send an email to .....teresasprim@yahoo.com to place an order.
And don't forget!!! Tonight is PHM update and this is a peek of what I will be offering!

Appliance Covers!
It's official!! My husband has left his 37 year banking career to become my full time wood worker!
Only problem is we both think we are the boss!!!!
He has been creating these custom size appliance covers and is all caught up on orders so if you have something you want to hide let us know!!!
I loved this lap top cover which is pictured in New England Red!!! The tall one covers a coffee maker and the Sheep graphic box covers a toaster!
All you need to do is send an email to teresasprim@yahoo.com with the size of what you want to cover and he will make it fit to slide on and off easily! You can check out the finishes on my website and also be on the look out for more finished wood pieces in the future!

Busy busy busy!
I had my woodworker busy this weekend!
We are scurrying to finish up orders for the PSS Retreat Merchant Mall in Columbus Ohio, the first weekend in May!
We have almost 50 of the 4 drawer thread cupboards complete! Yippee!!!
That is made... but now my work begins with the final sanding and painting!
Hopefully the weather will warm up this week that I can get started!
This is what the final project looks like!
We ran to get a new batch of wood Saturday morning! This much made the last 100 drawers we needed to fill the 50 cupboards!
Here is my happy little woodworker! Working hard for me!
200 drawers get a bit repetitive at times.
Two weeks ago we cut most of the pieces and started putting the cupboards together!
50 Tops
Last weekend Jeff finished the cupboard shells while I was away!
Hopefully in a couple days I can post a picture of them sanded and ready for the painting!!!

PHM Update tonight and my Inspiration for one design!
While browsing the antique mall a few weeks ago this sweet little bag caught my eye! It was labeled "seed bag" with a question mark! I felt that was a logical guess as to what it was used for. My first thoughts were what a great shape it would make for a cross stitch or embroidery design so it had to come home with me! A pattern is in the works so be watching for that! I used some of my stitching designs which I've placed on my 1 Year of Stitches challenge.
Here is the bag I created with the inspiration of the antique fine!
And here is the antique bag! Needs an iron but wanted to maybe lightly wash it first.
The rest of my offerings for Primitive Handmades Mercantile this month are a punch needle wool egg with a check, bunny punch needle spoon, tulip in bloom pocket and a tulip pinkeep!
Enjoy your weekend!
