LOTS of Show n Tells.........Make sure ya got time!

Hey Peeps!!!

I got lots to show n tell.......

Ya ready for this? Got a beverage and a snack?

Ok



First......I finally got some pics of my booth!!!





We still have to put up a wall of some sort on the left side!

Ive actually sold quite a bit in a weeks time, actually 5 days:) because they are closed on Sun and Mon!

I received this WONDERFUL email on Saturday! Imagine my suprise when I opened my email to read this!

"Hi there.....I am Susannah......maybe you have seen me commenting on some of the blogs. I do not have a blog. I wish I did ..but maybe someday.

The reason why I am writing this is because I found your blog and fell in love with the witch holding the pumpkin in your header. As I began to read ...I realized that you just started a booth in Medina. When I read - Medina - I ran to tell my husband that we just had to go there. (We live in Lima, south of Rochester and Henrietta.) Well, today was the day! Yes, I did buy the witch and the pumpkin. I am so very happy. I could not stop there so... I bought the wonderful crow with the sunflowers, too. BTW, There was another lady there that really wanted a witch and a pumpkin. The gal at the desk said she was going to call you for her.

Anyways, thank you for making the witch, little pumpkin and the crow with the sunflowers! I am so pleased! Your work is very prim and I love that. There were so many of your things that I wanted. You are a very talented person. Oh, and I loved your booth!

I think I shall have to go back to Medina soon.....LOL!

Sincerely,
Susannah"


OMG - How AWESOME is that???

Im STILL floored!!!

Janene of Primitive Lifestyle and I did a swap and she sent me the most wonderful box of goodies! Look at ALL of this........



LOOK at the bowls and ragballs.....









I thought the ragballs were my favorite but upon further inspection I gotta tell ya, these bowls are SO AWESOME!

See, Ive been meaning to get pics of my goodies for days now, when my package came I put it in my room so my rats (kids) wouldnt get into it, the weekend flew by, and on Sunday my livingroom got ripped apart in a spare of the minute wild hair decision to paint the livingroom so everything in the livingroom got put in my bedroom and i couldnt get to my box of goodies!!!! Whew!

So today I was able to finally get some pics and get them on here to share!

Thank you Janene - I am blowm away and love everything. I think you will do wonderful if you decide to sell in a shop:)


Oooooooooohhhh, there is also a little jewelry box that Kindle scarfed up and I forgot to grab a pic of.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, on to my livingroom! Yeah, Ive had the paint for months. It was all about trying to find the time to start and finish, or hopefully finish! Thank you to my AMAZING husband for all his help with this project. He HATES painting.

We started Sunday morning, the walls ended up taking 3 coats! I still have the moldings, upper and bottom to finish and the stencil. For some odd reason I picked the TWO hotest days of the summer to do this! WOW!!

Heres sort of a before/after shot...

Buh bye raspberry faux treatment!!!





The wall color is a simple cream and the trim is windsor green (the dark green on the door)

I just want to send a special Thank you to my girl Debbie of Debs Lost Treasures. She made my amazing blog layout AND installed it for me, LOL! Im bettin shes ready to come to NY to kick my butt right about now:)

Shes a gem! Please stop by and check out her site.

Workin on some make-overs!

Hey Guys!

Been about a week since I last posted!

Last Sat I spent close to 3 hours setting up my booth and pricing everything! My nerves finally got to me Saturday night and I was quite the sicky icky! I'm over the nervous bit and am just blown away by all of this!

I just started 9 months ago....remember? Back in Nov Jason's aunt traded me her sewing machine for Bella's bassinet and I was clueless! It didn't take me that long to catch on but what an improvement from then til now! Who woulda thought I would actually have my very own booth in a prim shop??!! Not me!

So Ive been working on swaps items for Janene, what a sweetpea she is!
You should see this BIG box of goodies she sent me! I almost died when I opened the box a little while ago! WOW!

Janene - you are AWESOME and I LOVE LOVE LOVE everything!!
Because you sent me so much, you have to wait another day before I can ship out your goodies:) I have to get to my booth to get some more prims for ya!!!!

I will be posting pics of my goodies from Janene as soon as my cam battery is charged! For some reason my one battery is not holding a charge and its pretty much brand new:( So I'm only working with one battery here! They are SO darn expensive!

Ive also been finishing up a few wooden items to take to my booth in hopes they will sell, although I'm not real sure what to price them at!















Ive got so many more wooden things to get painted and primmed and decided if I want to keep them or not!

Thank you ALL for your wonderful comments on my last post. They made my day all the more bearable!

Ill be back soon to post pics of my goodies from Janene:)

Swap Goodies and some makeovers

Wow, cant believe its been over a week since I last posted!

Ive been busy sewing every so often, I got so burnt out back in May that I just have no drive to make anything. I do have a bunch of dolls and ornies cut out waiting on me and I finished up 2 fallish dolls today.

First let me show ya what Beth sent me! What a SWEETIE she is......
Her and I had a swap and this is what she sent! I just LOVE her room sprays, the scent actually lasts a long time and when I spray on my couch and throws you can smell the wonderful goodness for days! Kindle grabbed the bottle of monkey farts from me right quick but what an awesome scent!



Thanks so much Beth, I love all of my goodies, we are SO doing this again:)

Ive also been trying to complete a million painting re-dos. You would not believe the amount of wooden things I have piled up in the garage, some half painted, some painted waiting on briwax and some just waiting for something.....

Remember this shelf and little pipe box thingy (sorry, not sure of the name)



Here are the afters...




Remember this tool carrier?



Here is the after...




And a few dolls Ive finished up....

My very first round head doll, took me a few times to get it right:)





I hope everyone is enjoying their summer? I SO can NOT wait for fall, although our weather is VERY fall like with temps not reaching much higher than 75 on a daily basis, no complaints here really unless its too chilly to go outside, then Ima complain'n!!
