Free!!

Kittens to good home! For those who know us & who have came to the shop, animals are a huge part of our life. And because we have a plethora of furry babies, our home & farm is running full!! Well, now a momma kitty has shown up here with 5 little kittens in tow! I really don't know how they find our way to us, but I guess they know we'll tend to them! Or feed them! LoL
The mom is quite skittish, but the kittens are old enough to be weaned so the babies are currently living in our sunroom awaiting their forever home! We just put them in there last nite & "showed" them the liter box, well, they took right to it! So they're all liter box trained if anyone should decide they want to keep them inside!
I will post pics of them tomorrow ~ there are 4 boys & 1 girl! If anyone's interested in the meantime, please email!
Thanks!

Yay!!!

My dear friend Lori awarded me this awesome award! AND she also tagged me to list things about myself & then tag 6 others. So here we go!


1. I'm majorly ADD & OCD. (which explains why I make a gazillion different products ~ myself! LoL)


2. I'm an only child.

3. I have 2 degrees in Computer Sciences ~ one for office systems (mostly computer software) & one in information systems technology (everything from web design to networking to building a computer). I love designing graphics & product labels, etc. but other than that, I HATE working on the computer! LoL


4. I LOVE to bake ~ I want to own my own bakery in another life!


5. I asked my hubby out! After months of waiting on him to ask me out, I couldn't wait any longer! I just thought he was too darn cute! hehe!! After we'd been dating a while, he said he had always wanted to ask me out but thought I was already taken! To think we wasted those other months!


6. I'm very shy ~ until I get to know someone well...


OK, so now I'm tagging 6 more:


1. Beth at Olde Tyme Marketplace

2. Judy at The Cinnamon Stick

3.Barbara at N.C. Cabin in the Woods

4. Jen at Just Country

5. Gina at Cat Nap Inn Primitives

6. Barbara at Turkey Hollow

Thanks again Lori!!

A basket full of.....gingers????




Well, it was supposed to be the basket to put my gingerbread men as I finished stuffing them, but my sweet Mara, decided the basket looked like a wonderful place to curl up!

We are working feverishly to get all sorts of goodies ready for the Southern Christmas Show in November and our Holiday Open House after we get back from show. So while the posts here may get more sporatic as we get closer to November, we are still "here" ~ just covered in fabric, fluff, paint, clay, sawdust, wax, etc...LoL

We will be sure to update with the dates & our booth for the Southern Christmas Show, and of course, we'll be adding info for our 6th Annual Christmas in the Country Holiday Open House!

The NEW look!

Well, for those who couldn't make it out this past weekend for the Harvest Gathering, you're in for a treat when you do come!! We finally got the remodel all done ~ just in time! So here's a little before/after:
BEFORE:

AND A FEW AFTER SHOTS!:




See the NEAT cabin walls??! With REAL chinking?! We also got a new beadboard ceiling (stained, not painted) AND no more fluorescent lights ~ we got some great punched tin fixtures!! A full cabin look & feel! Very primitive ~ to go with our merchandise!

So, stop in soon! :)

A Big Thank you!!

We just want to say a HUGE thank you to all those who came out to our Harvest Gathering AND to celebrate our 5 year anniversary!! We are both humbled & blessed with such amazing, wonderful customers!
Also, a thank you of sorts to Hurricane Hanna ~ though she did drench us with lots of rain, her timing could not have been better as she made her way out Saturday morning just in time for opening!
Thank you again~
