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!!!

Come celebrate Fall with the OFG Team on Etsy!!!

Our Autumn Celebration has begun!!! Stop by Etsy and check out all 91 new listings for Fall by the Old Farmhouse Gathering Team! You won't be dissapointed !!! I have created this nice wool sleeve to protect your cell phone, Ipod or camera! Hope to get more of these made up for the Lititz show which is August 14th! Gosh I need to get busy!!!

Have a great day and happy shopping!!

Some new Fall and Winter creations!

Back to work today after spending yesterday with friends! I entertained 4 wonderful ladies to a day of crafting, laughing (real hard at times) and eating! Caught myself chuckling a few times today just thinking about our time together!

Anyway.... I managed to finish up some new Fall and Winter items! The first is "Primitive Halloween Party Jack in the Moon! I used a really cute pattern by Blue Moon Beginnings to create this door greeter! He is listed in my Etsy Shop for $22.95 if you can't live without him! If you don't Etsy you can order here in this post!



Next I have a 9 1/2" by 9 1/2" primitive star snowman ornie. This one is made from 100% wool and listed in my Etsy Shop for $12.95. I'm also making these with fabric which will be painted and stained more prim. This picture does appear to make him brighter than what he is in person.... the face is an off white wool and all the pieces have been stained. I used a pattern by Crows Roost Prims to create this ornie or door greeter!

Happy Hot Hot Summer!!!!

Hope you all are enjoying the hot hot humid summer!!! I sure could do without the humidity!!!!
There is so much going on right now but first I want to show you some craft show pictures! The show was last Saturday at Caledonia State Park and after a week of 100 degree temps, high humidity, and the forecast calling for thunderstorms all day Saturday.............I was dreading even going!!! Fortunately, it rained in the wee hours of the morning..... and of course while we were setting up..........and you know what rain does for the hair-do????? Anyway, it turned out to be a beautiful, cool, sunny day with no humidity!!! Unfortunately the crowd was way down so my sales could have been better!!! Here are a couple of pictures from my booth!



Next I want to share some new happenings over at the A Primitive Journey forum! Diane is starting chapters in all the US states for you to join! You will get together every month with a group in your area and share in crafting, eating, shopping and enjoying the company of others with similar interests! Stop by the forum to learn more! I will be the director for the Harrisburg/Lancaster area and we already have 10 members and will be meeting August 21st for the first time!

I also want to start promoting my next show which is August 14th!!! It is a huge show in Lititz, PA near Lancaster called The Lititz Rotary Club Craft Show ! It consumes the whole town so you can't miss it! You will find over 700 vendors and my space number is E 4-5! So please let me know if you are coming............I would love to meet you!

Until next time..............stay cool!!!

Prairie Apron and a Blue Mason Jar

My working hands are now creating aprons for your primitive home! I started out with this wonderful mustard, black and tan checkered homespun fabric. It hangs a little over 29" with 26" ties. I hand stitched a pocket in place which is made from osnaburg. On the pocket I appliqued a wool sunflower which I created from a beautiful piece of hand dyed wool. You can purchase them from my Etsy shop or just send me a message.
I also wanted to share a really nice piece for your kitchen that my mom created! She sent some of these along to my show last month and they were the first sale of the day! That is always a fun thing for my sister and I to see who has the first sale! Love it!
