It's been awhile!

It has been way too long between posts...sorry about that! This time of year is crazy busy with shows and the shop! Just finished the Southern Christmas show ( for more pics hop on over to my other blog OLDE TYME MARKETPLACE) and thought I'd share with you a few pics of my creations! The barn star wreath above was a favorite..............

little burplap pillows were a hit..............

to go with the burplap sap buckets! More to come.................

I WANT THIS!

It is truly my dream to have an old log home one day . I blame Laura Ingalls. Since I first cracked the pages of her life story , I fell in love with the whole ideal. She made everything sound so wonderful and cozy and warm and just ...well ...perfect. This dream is at least 30 years old and I have never changed my mind about any of it...it MUST be old, it MUST have square logs, it MUST have lots of chinking, it MUST have a porch, it MUST have a fireplace, it MUST have a loft and other than that I am willing to compromise................ I THINK I FOUND IT!! ISN'T THIS ONE ADORABLE?? Look at the door, the porch, the picket fence for goodness sakes!! I am in LOVE! With each picture, the dream keeps alive and feels a little bit closer...

MY Bucket List....LITERALLY!

After a WONDERFUL chat with my dear blogger friend cityfarmer....she shared with me a funny story about a bucket list "gone awry" so to speak! That got me to thinking about buckets in gereral and how much I love um! I rooted around the net for some of my favs............ Old wooden painted buckets rank right at the top...............

These canvas ones aren't far behind..............

Galvanized...the true work horse of the bucket world.............

Sap buckets....so many colors, so many uses ...couldn't live without um!

I am lovin these!!

Anybody else out there feelin the love for these bottles??? I was snooping around Pottery Barn when I found them. The only thing that held me back was the fact that the small one was like $5oo,ooo the middle one about a million and the large was 7 figures I think...might as well be...the prices were ridiculous! I just had one in my booth for 28.95 and guess what...it is G~O~N~E~ No wonder! I love how they look in the grouping so I guess I must add these to my wish list!
