Latest find


This chair came into the thrift shop a few days ago and I grabbed it up. It has that worn look that I love so much.

Tatter Sacks

Whilst cleaning out under the porch/deck I came upon a bag of tatter sacks that I forgot I had. I got them some years ago from a local farmer. The idea was to use them for the grand kids to have potato sack races...up to this point this has not happened. But my hope is that they will be used for this someday.
I did notice a bit of a musty smell when I discovered the sacks, so took out my galvanized tub and filled it with water and began washing them up. Here they are hanging on the line drying out-now they will be ready when the time comes to have those tatter sack races.

Corner of my booth


The wind kinda disheveled things a bit before I shot this...but you can get the idea. I made up 16 new crowns for this event. I fianlly had a die made to help me cut them out easier...it is a real time saver, not to mention saving my sanity, what there is left of that!
The Crowns will be featured a couple of places soon, so watch for future post about them and how to get one for you and yours.

Mennonite Bakers

These ladies know how to do it right...baking is their claim to fame for good reason. I scored a round platter of maple drizzled twists in exchange for an apron in my booth. Nice ladies, too! So sweet and lady-like (as my momma used to say).

The bleachers


Yep, this is the bleachers for watching the bands play...only in the country! (This was pre-opening-as they filled up fast once the gate was opened and the band began to play some of the best blue grass around.
