Well, Thanksgiving is Over...Had a wonderful dinner , with one of my sons and his wifes family....good food, wonderful people..Grandkids hugz, and lots of laughter.....doesnt get much better!

I have been working so much, trying to catch up with orders for shops
I must say..I finally see some light at end of tunnel
But now once the last orders go..I will be catching up with regular orders
like the Holiday Papa Snow for A Primitive Place.........those will ship out this coming Monday and Tuesday...
I did a few new guys this past week....one is a sweet fellow wearing a red checked jacket..and he carries a Wee sized Log Cabin ornament which I hand paint on canvas..he is $25 plus shipping ($5)
Im working on a new line of Ole Rabbit Folk....will be fun and available sometime in January..sneak preview soon!!
I finally got paint to do the Gathering room...here is a pic from Christmas Past.......see the Clay colored walls.....they are very hard to work with
during holiday season......so I wanted something more neutral.....
would love Lancaster Whitewash on walls......but we were afraid with the white ceiling.....it would Blend too much...and take away the relaxing mood in the room.......sooo
we got Hancock Grey..on The Benjamin Moore Historical Chart
hope it looks ok...........hubby starts tomorrow!
will post pics of progress!

Thats a Picture of our Booth ( Tattered Thymes) located at Brick Mill Mkt Place in Uxbridge...it was taken at the Open House Friday night
My friend Linda and I had a lot of fun, seeing old friends and meeting new ones......
This is Freida Foddleworth, she wears a rumpled ole coat her Mama made from a piece of a tattered towel.....she has warm boots on and her hat
is bumpy n lumpy because Mama made it from an old sock.....
she has a sister Fran coming soon, to stay with her..for a visit..
Fran loves New England......she is coming from the South...she cant wait to see snow!

OH I hear the chatter now.........Fran has arrived......and Freida is amazed at how much they look alike!
BUT...oh MY Frieda says.."Fran, where are your boots and hat?"
this is brrrrrrr, New England you know...we need to get Mama to make you a nice coat and ...and I have some extra boots!



The Girls will spend a little while together chatting, before they begin their chores......chopping nuts and rolling out dough on the ole chopping block
This is a fun new SnowMama I created...she has an apron made from aged dish towels.....
tucked in the apron Ive got cinnamon stick, a wooden spoon Hubby has painted with a special cinnamon mix.......and a wonderful fabric gingerbread boy..I finished in a spicy cinnamon mix....
yummy..............and soooo sweet is she
she is standing next to a Funnel Tree......
I collected old tin funnels all summer.....stacking them until I got my Tree just the right height!

I havent had the time to start My holiday decorating yet..I have to fill a few shop orders this week.....then next weekend Maybe...I can start a little
I will post some pics.......once Hubby gets the Gathering room painted
saying goodbye to .........the clay color that was on walls when we moved here 2 yrs ago........
thinking Lancaster whitewash like we have in the Keeping room......

Hard to decorate for Christmas.....when walls are clay color!
Oh here is a new little sweetie I did....
she was all tucked in bed.....and heard some squeaks coming from downstairs...she got up and put her robe on.......and tip toed down the stairs to see what it was!
OH my, it was Wee LiL One, poking around in the kitchen...she grabbed her up and is bringing her back to bed......she will tell her a story of course...

Fall Creations, For Me and Thee


Oh Its That Time again....Fall is coming

I started thinking about last year
and how excited we were....
we were in a new home and preparing to have A Primitive Place come and do a photo shoot.......

This year.....I want to get decorated but
Id like to change things around a bit....
actually I do have my Keeping room
arranged a tad different since the magazine was here...and some pieces in the
Gathering room have been moved around too

so now......what to do for a fall feel
well....I will start creating a few goodies...just for me.....
oh and if someone Just has to have one....
they can be for me.......and thee

Here is the first..her name is Greta and she grows her own garlic, to sell ..
with the money she buys fabric to sew
clothes for the family.
she is sooo sweet.....she says Garlic is good for what Ails you......hmmm I might try eating more of it..
