~Goodies From Prim Shopping Trip With Blogging Friends~

Finally got the photos taken of the goodies I purchased from the prim shopping trip this past Saturday. At our first stop, which was Primitive Blessings…I found a few treasures.

A wonderful prim angel…it looks like her wings are made out of the back slats from a child’s chair.

I also got this old white chippy wood box.

Trying to decide if I want to display it laying down with something in it…or stand it up…or maybe hang it on the wall.  What do you think?

We all got a free gift from the shop owner, Pam…3 little birds nest with eggs.

I put the eggs in 2 of the nest and added a little bird I had to the other nest. This tree is sitting on top of our corner fireplace.

Our next stop was North Shore Primitives…and I purchased the cutest little fabric mouse on a biscuit.

I put this mouse in a small rusty tin pan and nestled him in a gathering with a couple of other mice on my wood trencher.

The last prim shop we went to was The Olde Farmstead…and that is where I found the treasure of the day.

A reproduction Treenware bowl for my dining room table.

My mother-in-law had given each of us money for Christmas and I had been saving it to spend on something special. And when I saw this…I knew it was that ”something special”!!  I just love how it looks on the dining room table.

I’m going to have so much fun putting gatherings in that bowl for the all the different seasons and holidays. So I’m sure you will be seeing lots more of this Treenware bowl in the future.

Until next time…….         blessings, Cindy

 

 

 

 

~Prim Shopping with Blogging Friends~

This past Saturday…I went on a prim shopping trip with Carmen of “Primcats”, Earlene of “Primitive Passion Decorating”, and my sister. Earlene came down from MI and met up with Carmen at her house. My sister and I took off from my house…and we all met up at Primitive Blessings Vintage Gift Shop in Orient, Ohio.

What a wonderful shop!! I can see why Carmen loves it so much…not only a beautiful shop inside, but the grounds outside and the creek were so was pretty too.

We took some pictures of us prim girls out on the bridge over looking the creek.

Vicki(my sister), me, and Carmen…..

Vicki, me, and Earlene…..

After leaving Primitive Blessings…we stopped at Bob Evans for lunch. While there we realized that my sister and I had worn green shirts…and that Carmen and Earlene had worn orange shirts, but it gets better. The booth we were setting at had a green and orange print on it. What are the odds of that happening? LOL…

After lunch, we headed to North Shore Primitives in Washington Court House.

Then from there we went to The Olde Farmstead at Tango Outlets in Jeffersonville.

After that…it was time to say our goodbyes and we headed home. We had so much fun and it felt like we had all known each other forever. I can’t wait to do it again!!

I did purchase some wonderful prim goodies that I will share on my post.  Until next time…….         blessings, Cindy

 

~Crafting for a Prim Friend’s Birthday~

I’ve been wanting to share what I made for a prim friend’s birthday…but I had to wait until she got her birthday gifts today.

I did a painting on a wood plate…..

Embroidered a crow on a prim beige/tan colored towel and added a reproduction colonial print fabric ruffle…..

And I purchased a cute little prim sheep from one of our local shops…and added the tiny bell to his neck…..

A lot of you know the birthday girl, but she doesn’t have a blog…and I’ve been trying to get her to start one. Happy Birthday, Cheryl!!! So glad that you loved everything.

I had a great time today on the prim shopping trip with Carmen, Earlene, and my sister…turned out that Mary couldn’t come. Will share about our day on my next post.

Until next time…….         blessings, Cindy
