New friend and lots of Christmasy Prim goodness

I couldn't wait to share this with you. I have been reading this lady's blog for a while now, and FINALLY got to meet her! She has a beautiful shop in Marshville, NC. DH and I have decided that it is literally a stones throw away from here, but yet on the other side of the world! ...but it was SO worth the trip! Her shop is Olde Tyme Marketplace. It sure made my day to visit her shop...okay, my SEASON!!!! She had a weekend Open House, but on Friday night she had a candlelight night! She is in a very old building....go check her blog for more info about the building---and she had white lights and candlelight all around her pretties...Bluegrass band singing Christmas Carols....ahh.....so fun! So, I just HAD to take a few pics! Hope that you enjoy! I am still trying to figure out how to add a link....so bear with me!

Again, I am having troubles adding more pics, so...please come back for an update! So much to see!!!!!

Hot Tamales!

It is very hot and humid here this week! I know that I shouldn't complain, so I won't...just making a comment! I melt in this type weather! Not to mention the hair problems! It is supposed to make a cooldown this weekend, so that will be nice.

I am trying to learn more each day concerning the blog world. I believe now I have learned what I was missing with the comment problem. So please, let me hear from you! I love to read your blogs, and feel like I already know most of you!

I worked on painting and staining some things that hubby made the other night. Some candle boards and a dough board. He is working on a display for the booth also. My son gained access to an old estate and I will have to take pics of what he got out of the barns and out building there! Wow! Old doors, a metal table, a wood table--all white and prim, and a potting bench--just adorable...a white wooden box thingy....old Christmas cards....oh I could go on and on! NOW....what is mine and what is for sell???? That is the question of the hour! I will go out and take pics to add to this{if I can!!!}

I forgot to mention what my son found to sell on his own! It is awesome! Well, it doesn't seem to want me to put tat pic in right now...so...maybe save it for tomorrow! Just wait til you see! Guess yiu will have to check back in...!!!!!!

Have a great day, and....
Enjoy EVERY moment!

Some pics????? Hopefully...and...is anyone out there???

Ok, I set my new booth up in KatyDids Antiques in Gastonia, NC yesterday. It was hard, but FUN ! AND exciting! I have decided to try to keep both booths there for a while. If I see I am losing money, I will pull back and just do the one. It will prove to be a busy summer with my son getting married to his college sweetie in August, and then a cruise in July with my family (Mom and her hubby, sis and her hubby and brother and his wife). Never been on a cruise before OR saw my son married off while doing a Rehearsal dinner too!!!!! So, not positive of the time I have to put toward all of this! I will try HARD though!

Now back to the booth......I am in an area that I think will be a teaching experience for the customer. Teach them about Primitve, Shabby, and chippy. I have loved them for a long time now, but since moving to SC, don't see a bunch of it around....ALTHOUGH....seeing much more now!!!! My stuff is a mix of Re-Purposed, Vintage, Antique and Handmade Prim! It is the only one of its kind in the Antique place I am in. So, it stands out to say the least!

Now, let me try to put pics up. Like I say I am new to Blogland....

March 29th,2009

This is my first blog post, so bear with me as I learn!!!
My intentions for this blog are to share with my reader my life, love, and laughter! I will be sharing a newly found love of thrifting, and re-purposing, that I am doing in attempt to help with the financial side of my family. Also, because I really love it and so enjoy being able to offer things for your home that I know are normally quite expensive. But in doing them the way that I am trying to do affords you to have new things to help decorate your home and not break the bank! This is , of course, all new to me so it has been a learning experience every step of the way!

Also, in this blog I want to share with you my love of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and how I see him working in my life every day!
