Dreaming of spring.....

 

.....and hoping it will get here soon.

Like much of the country, we are in a deep freeze.

This mornings temp was -10

and with the wind chill

it will feel like -30 all day.

Tomorrows forecast is much like today.

 

Oh spring...bring us your blue skies,

your warm sunshine and

your fragrant blooms.

 

  



 

Scarecrow Cabin will have a booth at the show.

If your in the area, stop by and say "Hi".

Stay warm!

Kelly

  

It's show time...again

The Harvest at the Mill show

is this Saturday.

I've been so busy working all

new prim goodies for the show,

getting everything priced

and packed up for the trip to Holly.

Here is a sneak peak at some

of the handmades I'm taking to the show.

Wool pumpkins, prim pillows and dolls.

Lots of penny rugs.

Burlap banners.

If you haven't heard about the show

Only 10 more days

It's hard to imagine spring right now

as Mother Nature is

dumping 8-10 inches of snow

on us today.

 

I'm counting down the days

until the "Spring Plantings" show

in charming Holly Michigan.

 

In just 10 days, over 40 fabulous vendors

from Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio

and Virginia will gather at the

Karl Richter Campus to

offer early antiques and

primitive handmades.

 

 It is going to be FANTASTIC!

 

I have a few more projects

to finish before the show, then I'll

be pricing everything and

getting it packed.

 

Over the next few days,

I'll be posting pictures of some

of the items I'm taking

to the show.

 

Hope to see you there.

Kelly

 

 

 

 



Goodies from my summer travels....

Finally got around to down loading

some of the pictures of all the goodies

I acquired during my summer travels.

Back in August, I took a trip to 

West Virginia to visit my Dad.

A stop a The Woolen Willow in Williamston, WV 
is a must for any quilter, wool lover 
or primitive collector.
Here are some of the goodies I found
at The Woolen Willow

Some beautiful hand-dyed wool.

A little wood crate, vintage bobbin 
and a rusty horseshoe.

A sweet mini charm pack by Moda.

A wood dough bowl and a burlap sack.

Then in the beginning of September, 
I attended the Harvest at the Mill 
show hosted by Dawn and her team

at Holly Hills Primitives 
in Holly, Michigan.

Just look at these treasures I found at the show.

Found this pumpkin and crock at the

Back Porch Antiques booth 
(aka: Prims by the Water) 

and the vintage scissors from

The Evening Stitcher booth.

Another prim pumpkin from 
Back Porch Antiques

and some Hand-dyed orange wool

from the Wool Room.

The bowl is full of dried walnut 
but I can't remember which 
vendor I bought them from.

The awesome primitive drawer from

Prism Antiques.

A vintage wood rake from 

Red Dog Antiques.

Can't wait until the next road trip.

Have a wonderful evening!

Harvest at the Mill pictures

Good morning!

I was lucky enough to attend the

Harvest at the Mill
show last Saturday and

Oh Boy did we have a great time.

We didn't want to miss out on any

treasures so we arrived at 10am
for the opening,

everyone else had the same idea
because there was

a line to get inside.

Dawn and her team at
Holly Hills Primitives

 did a fabulous job hosting this show.

It was like primitive Heaven.

There were so many wonderful vendors,

antiques and primitive
goodies everywhere.

I was able to meet some
fellow bloggers too!

Here are some pictures for inside the vendors booths.

Love this little ladder at

Back Porch Antiques

(Janice - Prims by the Water)

More goodies at Back Porch Antiques

Antique treasures at The Evening Stitcher(Bobbie's booth)

Bowls and cookie cutters at
The Evening Stitcher

And a sweet little pie safe at
The Evening Stitcher

Fell in love with this Sheep hooked rug at
Teresa Koguts booth
(Teresa's Creative Whims)

This is Lauren's booth(Rugs and Pugs)
Isn't "Jack" cute!

More goodies at Rugs and Pugs

Some antiques goodies

Antique furniture at Prism Antiques

Love the Mantel with the
white chippy paint
and the pie safe with
the punched tin doors
at Prism Antiques

Country Primitives booth had these
awesome herb racks.
Hmmm, where could I use these?

Just love the primitive sunflowers
in the shotgun shell bags
at Country Primitives booth...too cute!

Wish I had taken more pictures but,
I was so overwelmed by all the goodies,
I forgot to take the camera out of my bag.

Well, after 5 hours of shopping I felt like
we had seen everything.
It was truly a great girls day
out at the Mill.

Can't wait until next years show!

I'll share some pictures of
all the goodies I brought home
in my next post.

Yippi...I'm so excited.

My Mom, sister and I are leaving at 8am

Looks like the weather is going to be beautiful

for the show tomorrow.

I'll be bringing my camera along

I hope there is enough room in the SUV

for all the treasures we'll be bringing home.

Have a great weekend everyone!

~Kelly~

West Virginia here I come....

Finally taking a

long overdue trip to

visit my Dad

in West Virginia.

The car is packed and

ready to go at 5am tomorrow.

It's a long journey

but I just love traveling

through the mountains.

There's will be lots 

of front porch sittin'

and sweet tea sippin'

in the next few days.

As always,

Planning on making a stop

at The Woolen Willow

in Williamston, WV.

I just love their shop

(maybe  they'll let me take some pictures).

Oh Boy,

I can't wait to see what

treasures I'll find this time.

I'll be bringing some

wool stitching projects

along with me

to work on while I'm there.

The finished projects will

be listed in my Etsy store

along with some new Autumn items

(hint...white pumpkins)

when I return.

Have a wonderful day!

~Kelly~

 

A visit to the Mill and some new projects

Oh my, It's been almost

a month since my last post

(bad blogger).

I recently took a day trip over

to Holly and had the pleasure of meeting

Dawn at Holly Hills Primitives.

Her shop is inside of an old Mill

and is filled with primitive treasures.

(I wish I had some pictures to share

with you but I forgot to bring my camera)

Dawn is hosting the 

Harvest At The Mill show

on Sept. 7 with vendors from

around the midwest.

Oh boy...I can't wait.

Check out her blog for more info:

I have been building a stash of wool

for some time now and

decided it was time to

use some of it.

Here are a couple of my

Pin Keeps

to go outside and take pictures.

Have a wonderful day and stay Cool!
