GLoRy DaYs!

With Memorial Day weekend upon us, I've done up the front display with a few Patriotic items!
Also NEW in the shop, after many requests, I've done my popular Apple Brown Betty scent in my fixens line! Along with the new addition, comes a new look to that line! I hope you'll like the new labeling!

AND, I'm working on some new handmades ~ mostly with a patriotic theme, and am planning a special GLoRy DaYs event here at the shop ~ DETAILS TO FOLLOW!!!


A SPECIAL NOTE FOR THIS MEMORIAL WEEKEND ~ Take time this weekend to remember our veterans, those who have fallen for us, and those serving now to protect us...

THE bEsT FLaG BunTiNg FaBRiC!!

Looking for a wonderful primitive fabric bunting? This is a wonderful reproduction print of an old civil war bunting!
I'm selling this BY THE YARD on ebay ~ it's wonderful to make pillows, get a few yards to make bunting swags, table runners, etc.....Great stuff!! :) Click the picture to be taken to the auction!

A wonderful weekend!

Thank you to all the wonderful customers who showed up for our Patriotic Gathering at the shop! We had a wonderful day & enjoyed seeing old friends & new!

Here's just a sampling~ And of course, the food!! David picked up the really cool cupcake star in the back ~ our local wal-mart got creative & took a dozen cupcakes, put them into the shape of a primitive star & then iced the whole thing together! It was really neat! (and yummy!)

On another note, Sunday was a trip with friends to Va for a great sale & a few antique shops along the way! We were able to pick up some great goodies for the shop! And Monday David & I headed into town & hit the only antique shop open & also found some neat things there!

Sooo by THIS weekend LOTS of new antique pieces AND MORE HANDMADES will be in the shop!!

A note to our Salisbury customers ~ we just restocked some great handmades down in our booth last nite & also took in a great new primitive chimney cupboard that david & I finished up on Monday!

Well, ok, the wrong kind of stripes! LoL

This olde flag is one of my collection & is draped on the back of an old chair with an small old wooden trencher sitting in it....Well, Mara thinks that trencher's the perfect spot to curl up! She KNOWS she's not supposed to, but sometimes she's stubborn!! Tonite she curled up in there & looked so sweet & patriotic I thought it fitting for our lead into our Americana season in the shop! :)

The old chalkboard hanging behind the counter lists what's coming up & going on in the shop!

Seems we're pretty much skipping spring & going straight to summer...again...seems to be a trend the last few years, thanks to the darn global warming! I must say, I am NOT a summer person...I always say in the winter you can add more layers...in the summer you can only take OFF so much! Ha! The only thing I DO like about summer is being able to have a big display all things patriotic! I LOVE americana goodes, flags, etc. & you'll find all sorts of these goodes in the shop by mid-May! I'll post here when ready!

I shot this picture of Callie (our shop cat) Saturday. She knows where to stay cool ~ sitting on top of our antique Coca-Cola box (still works! with ice cold glass bottle drinks for sale). You'll find her here on those hot days waiting to greet you!

PS! The NEW patriotic background was purely coincidence ~ I accidentally deleted my other background & can't find it, so had to stick something in there! Think I kinda like it though! :)
