Saturday with Carmen,Cindy and Vicky

Primitive Blessings Shop

First shop on our stop. Messed up my order of pictures ...this one did not post right first time so continue on,

Hi! Almost to Carmens house and drove by this! Would have LOVED to go picking through this old homestead! The drive here was such beautiful countryside. I realized one of the reason Ohio is so pretty is that grassland and fields are right up to the roadside and it looks so neat, groomed and clean. In Michigan, near me anyways, trees , weeds and scrub are right next to the road and beyond that are the groomed fields. Ohio is also very hilly.

On my way to Carmens I had to stop and take a picture if this barn and building. I think it is a ranch hand home...whatever it is it's adorable! Would love to have it in my yard! Herb gardens around it would be perfect don't you think?

Prim Happiness!

Great Gals!

Vicky, Cindy, Carmen

Mary we missed you!!!!

This stream ran right nest to Primitive Blessings shop...how lucky is she to have such a beautiful peaceful setting. The weather was perfect , the sun was shining and crocus was popping up on the hill. A wonderful shop and I did not want to leave. You must stop if you are ever in the area.

We also went to NorthShore Primitives and I didn't get a picture of her shop...to caught up in the moment and it never crossed my mind. She was are second stop.

After that we headed to lunch and had a great time visiting.

Then left and went to The Old Farmstead.

Carmen with a primcat..aren't they cute!

Carmens cats are the most beautiful cats I have ever seen. She takes wonderful care of them and believe me when I say these cats are disciplined...never seen anything like it before and very sweet to watch.

We had a great time and ready to do it again.

Enjoy!

Happy Saturday Afternoon/new prims/curtains/tweaks

I bought this cute penny mat this morning to add to my Easter display. Isn't it sweet. Love the muted colors in it.

This is the old horse feed bucket I bought last weekend at Holly Hills Primitives. I want to put a prim bunny in it for Spring but this doll will do for now. I want to set it on my table..right now it's on the floor against my black corner cupboard.

Brought my red shutters back up from the basement and changed the display today. I am trying to hide the view of the snow we got last night...3".

Do you think it looks okay?

Set my small prim table today in this corner with the prim child chair.

Taste of Spring

Close-up...looks black but actually dark blue.

My homespun curtains turned out so nice! I think they fit in this room perfectly...and Lucille did a great job making them! If your interested she can make you some too. You supply the fabric and she will let you know the cost to make them and ship them. She does great work!

I am still trying to find the right piece to set or hang behind the tub near my buttery. Maybe I will find something next weekend when I go shopping in Ohio with Carmen. Did you hear? I can't wait...we are spending the day together prim shop hopping. I am leaving Friday night after work.

Have a great evening!

Changed my background

What do you think of the new background color. I just don't want it to wash out my pictures but wanted a lighter look for Spring.

Not much else to comment about tonight..just a lazy evening.

Have a good night.

First Sunday of February

You can tell it was a bright sunny day.

Getting ready to set out my Spring goodies.

Picture of my kitchen I took yesterday

It is a beautiful sunrise this morning here in our neck of the woods.

Making bacon and eggs for breakfast and then heading outside for a long walk.

Love the sunshine we have been having here...make Winter so much more tolerable.

At noon I am heading over to Holly Hills Primitives for her Superbowl Party.

She has new things in from market so I can't wait to check it out. I will try to get pictures if she lets me, otherwise check out her blog. She is lisyed on mine if you can't find her.

I wanted to share some pictures I took yesterday.

Have a wonderful day today and have fun!

Birthday Breakfast

This is me and my grandson Nathan this morning. We all met for breakfast for his 11th birthday ( which is tomorrow). He picked it cause it is one of his favorites and it is close to where we live.

Great breakfast and enjoyed ourselves.

We love you Nathan!

Hello Saturday

I love this little guy holding his heart.
I wanted to tell you about my scare on Thursday night while I was blogging so if it happens to you...don't panic. I was cancelled in the middle of a sentence!
It wasn't blooger but Google that did it. I think it was a good thing though because the reason reported was "suspicious activity".
Didn't sleep that night...thought my blog was deleted forever!
Next morning I checked again and figured out and found the window from google...had to enter my e-mail. pick country I was from and give my landline phone number ( I don't own a cell phone) . Hit verify number and I got a automated message on my phone with a verification number...I typed that in and within seconds my blog was back!

Have a great weekend!

~Hugs~

Bathroom Hanging Buttery

Now I know people say this is just a shelf...I call it a hanging buttery. That's what us prim addicts call it:0) Right!

I love it but I need to find a different wreath..a bigger one...but it will do for now.

What do you think?

I am still very happy with the color and glad I made the change.

~Happy Hump Day~
