Yes, I do blog...

Yes, I do blog...just not as much as I should or could. LOL I have some friends who want to see & hear more blogging and some who don't care if they ever read mine or anyone elses.

Ok..this is for the ones who care... : ) The pic above is one of my favorites...first of all, I love Giles' workshop/barn. I can look out from the cabin and invision him working away at some wonderful creation. Sometimes, we'll go for hours and not communicate, but all either of us has to do is push a button on the intercom and hear the other one answer.

This time of year, it's hard to get too many simple goodes completed because of the weather...after all, that heater will only heat so much and feet do get cold. I don't venture out there too often in the winter...you'll laugh, but one reason I don't is my legs are so short, if there is much snow on the ground, I need 'hip boots' on just to plow through and down the hill.

I just leave him to his work and I try to do some stitchin' or some hand-work up here in the cabin. Around lunch time, he'll trudge up here for something warm to eat and then off he goes, back to his work. The man cannot sit still, so it's good that he has such a welcoming place to create...and I'm sure he spends a good amount of time day-dreaming too...about SPRING! A long time off, but a man can dream!

If you can't make it to one of our other shows, we'll see you in October at A PRIMITIVE HARVEST!

Asking your opinion...

Hi Friends... I have a question and would like your opinion.

I know many, many shops have their holiday open houses, mostly in November and a few in early December. However, I never hear of a Christmas show in early December, SO: If a Primitve Country Christmas Antique and Folk Art/Handcrated show was held in early December, would you go? And if not, why? I'm not talking about an open house...it would be a bonafide antique show. I appreciate your opinion and ideas. Blessings...

THE COMFORT OF HOME

We've got them...Judy Condon's newest book is full of wonderful eye-candy so let us know if you need one. $29.95 includes shipping OR visit Sassafras to get one there for $24.95. Blessings...

SUMMER IN THE VALLEY

Well friends, it's almost time for us to head up the road to Virginia. We sure hope you'll join us at Summer In The Valley ( http://www.picturetrail.com/antiquesinthevalley ) this Saturday in Fishersville. There will be lots of great dealers with wonderful goodes, so make your plans and we'll see you there. BTW...Giles will take some of his log cabins as well as a 'surprise' cabin...Hope you get there in time to get one. Blessings...

What a man!

All I did was mention that I never get one of Giles' great birdhouses...they always get sold and then I ask when I will get one...of course I get promises but still, no birdhouse. Well, a few days ago, I asked him to make a BIG log cabin for me to put by the front door. I guess he felt like I never get one of his creations, so he'd make up for it. WHAT A MAN! He sure made up for those promised cabins.

This beauty is over 4 feet tall (not counting the chimney). I love it! Love it! Love it! He even figured out how to make the lights inside look like candles in the windows and look at the cute little gourd birdhouse in the gable end. It sits beside the front door so I'll get to enjoy seeing it many times during the day. Thanks Giles...you're the best! Love You!!!!! And my cabin!!!!
