Swap ~Americana~sale finds

Hi Blog Friends,

I know it's been awhile~

I have been working on crafts,

planting the garden,

 doing yard work along with the usual day to day choirs.

 

To be honest, I'm just not enjoying blogging as much as I use to.

Blogger keeps changing and it's become more of a choir to blog, rather than a fun thing.

Some of you probably can relate.

 

I wanted to share a wonderful swap I did with Lecia over at Farmhouse Prims.

I had stopped by Lecia's last month for her birthday to drop off some goodies and she showed me the spring rabbits she had made to sell.

Well, I fell in love with them and told her if they don't sell (hoping secretly they don't, ssshhh.)

I'd like to do a swap with her for them.

Lecia emailed me and asked if I really wanted to do the swap~

I was so excited! Of course I did!

 

Lecia really spoiled me.

Not only did she swap me the rabbit dolls I had drooled over,

but gifted me the cutest little prim sister dolls,

one of her prairie journals, a yummy tart and a beautiful bonnet.

 

 Just look at the details!

Lecia, I love everything you gifted me. Thank you my friend!

I am so honored to have your handmades to decorate my home.

And even more honored to have such a sweet friend close by that I met through blogland.

 

Lecia sells her wares each month on Early Work Mercantile.

Stop by to see what she has to offer each month.

I will say, the pics do not do her work justice.

Thank you again Lecia~

Thought I'd also share a collage of the items I've been fortunate enough to find at sales lately.

Upper left~ antique straw/hay cutter, really a gorgeous piece, I'd like to keep but not sure if I will.

Nice blue cabinet and white cabinet to re do.

Child size rockers.

sweet baby doll crib from the 40's.

box lot I paid a $1 for full of prim goodness.

And the last pic is a cabinet I picked up to use for storage of all the patterns I have.

I believe it's an old canning cupboard.

 

That's about all I have to share right now.

I have few summer/Americana items to finish up, then gonna start on fall. Yep you read it right~

Fall will be here before we know it and that's my biggest sell season, so I hope to get stockpiled.

 

Hope you all are doing well~

Say a prayer for the people whom have suffered so much devastation in the mid west.

It's hard to watch on tv.

Prim Blessings,
