Good Thursday blog friends!

It's a cloudy, cold day here in Virginia.

A good day to stay in and sew up some snowmen!

Finished up these cuties yesterday ~

pattern by The Olde Country Cupboard.

Also made my rounds yesterday to stock the selling booths. 

It tickles me to know how many customers love the things I make.

The new booth at Country Road Antiques and Flea Market is doing very well.

Yvonne, one of the owners, gets so excited to see me come in with new things.

She's like a kid in a candy shop........smile.....

I just have to share this beautiful prim S. Claus doll with you. 

I purchased him from The Button Box on Early work Mercantile.

Lynn does wonderful work. Lots of attention to details ~ I'm addicted!

Thanks for stopping by~ 

Have a great prim weekend!

     Blessings,  Jean

Been way to long~

Since I've posted.

Hi Blog friends!

First, I want to send my thoughts and prayers out to all the people on the North East Coast that were affected by hurricane Sandy.  

I've visited some of the places shown on the news in years past and my heart breaks.

May God's strength be with you in these times of tribulation. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The main reason I haven't posted much is I get so frustrated with blogger.

It takes so long for me to upload pics to the posts since blogger changed it's format.

Things will be settling down for the winter months for me, so now I can set and give blogger a little more of my time. (This post took me 1 1/2 hours to do~ ridiculous!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm still crafting up a storm! Lol.

Here's some pics of what I've been making lately.

Here's a couple of my favorite finds from over the summer.

Beautiful old wheel barrel~ found at a yard sale. I had to do a u-turn when I seen it driving down the road. I plan to fill it with pine greens and white lights for winter.

This wonderful old straw broom.

beautiful small yellow ware bowl~ love the brown band.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I plan to get serious in teaching myself to be a hooker!

purchased the frame and lots of wool strips off ebay.

Now all I need is a day of wintry snow to get started.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And last but not least, my dear friend Lecia, whom we all know, posted awhile back about my sweet little Snoopy dog being very sick.

I'm happy to say he is doing pretty well and I truly appreciate all the prayers sent up for him.

Thank you Lecia for such love and care you show me and others.

Your a true blessing.

Wishing all of you a beautiful weekend!

Thank you for stopping by~ I hope to post again soon.

Prim Blessings & hugs,

Yard Crawl was a success!

Good Tuesday morning blog friends!

Well, I think I've recovered from the weekend.

If you do craft shows, you know how much work it is to prepare for, set up and sell your wares.

This years yard crawl was a great success! I sold at least 75% of my inventory.

I got to see so many of my faithful customers and am so thankful for their patronage. 

There was a steady stream of people all day long.

I only had a chance to take a few pictures to share.

The above two pictures are of the field full of vendors at the flea market.

I got to walk around briefly on Friday afternoon, to see what everyone was offering and I could not believe the prices!! As you can see by the pics, not many people with arm loads of items being carried around.

When they got to our area it was a different story.

My sister came down with a truck load of household items, clothing and toys and my friend Dr. Kim set up selling household items and toys. We all priced our items to sell. People commented ~you all are selling a lot cheaper than anyone else here! They left with bags full of goods! At the end, there wasn't a whole lot to have to pack back up!

This is a pic of my setup late afternoon on Saturday. Wish I had gotten one earlier. We started at 5a.m. and   was pretty busy most of the day. I sold two of the make do chairs I made! A lot of people surprising to me~knew what they were and love them.

There's a new flea market opening next month and I'm thinking I might give it a try.

Now I gotta get busy again, making fall items to stock the selling booth.

Thanks to all my wonderful customers for making this years yard crawl a great success!

I'm looking forward to seeing you all again next year, Lord willing.

Have a great week and thanks for stopping by to visit my little blog.

Blessings,

Jean
