Drying Okra

I stumbled upon some Okra at a good price so I bought 4 lbs. to try my hand at stringing and drying  it.  Wish I would have bought all they had because I just love the dried result!!!  It is amazing how much it shrinks up!  Here is a picture of before and after 2 days on the drying rack in front of our fireplace. They are almost 1/2 the fresh size! I hope they keep the bit of green still showing!

 

 

 Drying pineapples too.... 4 done and many more to go.  Hope to have at least 15 done for my shows next year! I only do one at a time because I eat the pineapple and I don't want any to go to waste!

Enjoy your day!

Faith Hope Love Star Nodder

I had a couple of orders for some star nodders so I took the time to make one up for my Etsy shop. I hand stitched "Faith Hope Love" on the pocket and stuffed it full of Sweet Annie and broom corn.   Ever wonder why it is called a nodder????   The star sits in an old bed spring and does a bit of nodding if bumped! LOL  I love the prim world.... it has its own little language!

 

Added some of the finished Valentine Pillow Ornament sets to Etsy also!

 

Have a great day everyone!

 

Happy New Year!!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

WOW!!! It's so hard to believe that Christmas Day is almost here!!! I hope this short post finds you well and in good spirits!

 

It has been so dark and gloomy here in PA for the past WEEK! I'm so anxious for the sun to pop out again. I don't ever remember a December like this.

 I'm busy switching my EzShoppe over to a new website so a Grand Re-Opening will take place sometime in January!  Working on some new "treasures" for the event and have lots of primitive wood appliance covers painted up and ready to ship! They aren't just for the kitchen anymore!  If you are a rug hooker I might have one for you! As soon as the sun decides to show its face again I will be taking pictures to share! 
Until then.................. keep smiling!!!
