Possibilities

That’s my word for the year….

Possibilities

As in “there are so many “ or “ the possibilities are endless “ or “ imagine the “.

Last year in January we started our first flea-market booth at Lovejoy’s , then in November we started our craft booth at Down Home Creations , and we have done okay . We are not getting rich but we are not in the hole .

So this year we are going to work toward making these booths be a destination for our customers with lots of really cool “must have “ stuff in them.

So….

Just imagine the POSSIBILITIES !

Priceless

Old fashion feather bed on and old metal bed frame . Check !

 

Crisp white linens and blanket .

Check !

White duvet cover on a down filled comforter with lots of fluffy pillows .

Check !

After a day of weather that looked like this …

View out the back door window…

Thinking of that warm bed … Priceless !

What’s the weather like where you are ?

Have a great weekend !

Getting Ready For Christmas

I put up my tree the day after Thanksgiving . I am only using the small 4 ft. one again this year. It’s not that I don’t like putting up decorations , it’s taking them down that I don’t like. So far that’s the reason I didn’t go all out in my living room this year . But here is a look at my cottage Christmas decor this year…

I have to get some candles for those crystal nutcracker candle-holders on the mantel.( Forgot about that . )

Not much added here , only the cross and the banner .

I found the snowshoes at a flea market , and just knew they would make a great display .

Well that’s it so far , I may decorate a little in the kitchen if I have the time , but so far I am keeping busy with projects for the booths and special orders for customers . And that’s a good thing , What about you ? Do you have your decorations up yet ?

Giving Thanks

I just can’t bring myself to start decorating for Christmas yet .

I think we need to give a little thought to the next holiday first.

Time to think about what we are thankful for…

For our families and friends …

For our homes…

And praying God will send his blessings to all who were affected by the storms yesterday in the Midwest .

And praying for all the folks in the Philippians who are still waiting for help and rescue .

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving !

And when that is past , bring on Christmas !

Fall in the Cottage Yard

I took some pictures in and around the yard a few days ago , The leaves have changed and the wind is blowing the fallen ones around ,it is cool and rainy today and really feels like fall .

As I walked to the mailbox I looked back over my shoulder at the house and noticed all the color in hill behind the house .

Bubba was enjoying chasing leaves while running on his lead,

My little winding country road .

This cool weather makes me want to light the fireplace and and snuggle up with a good book . Maybe a cup of hot cocoa  along side .

I love fall ! It is so pretty here in the Ozarks this time of year . This peak color only lasts for a short time so I need to enjoy it .

I hope you are enjoying fall where you are !

Sweetie Pie Cottage–Two Booths !

I know it’s been awhile again , but we have been really busy . We had our last craft show a little over a week ago .

We had a great show , and were really tired after it was over .

We came home and started getting ready for our new booth in downtown Harrison.” Down Home Creations “.

This is what we started with …

Billie and I worked Monday to get all the display stuff in .
I have to mention Billie's husband Jeff who helped us move in all the heavy stuff . You rock Jeff !

I took this picture with my phone and it’s a bit blurry .

Pam and I went in this morning and added a bunch of

stuff …

We are so excited ! This crafts mall opens this Friday , November 1st.
If you are in the area the hours are 10 am till 6 pm Monday through Saturday , and 1 pm till 5 pm on Sunday .
Please come down and visit our booth , and check out all the other cool booths there too !
This Friday Pam and I are going down to our other booth at Lovejoy’s and revamp it for Christmas .
“Lovejoy Collectables” is open 7 days a week from 9 am till 5 pm .

I’m Back !

Gosh ! It’s been a while since I last posted !

I have been busy making things for our craft shows this year . As usual I waited till the last minute to get anything done , so I have been working non-stop to catch up .

We are only doing two shows this year , the first of which is this Friday , Saturday , and Sunday in Harrison , Arkansas.  Tomorrow evening is setup time .

So I thought I would show you some of the things I have been working on .

A couple examples of the caps I decorated …

Some of the furniture I refinished , some chalkboards ,and some pumpkin paintings , plus the burlap pillows in the background .

I took some time to make a rag garland and a new sign to make our booth pretty .

I also made a bunch of flea-market pocket bags ,decorated some canning jars for pretty vases , and painted and added Halloween labels to a bunch of odd jars and bottles , They turned out really cute but I neglected to take pictures of the a-fore  mentioned items , so if you are in the area come on down to the square in Harrison and see them .

Wait till you see the cute Halloween dolls and decorations that Pam has made . And Billie has been quilting like crazy to have some things too.

Hope to see you there !
