Time to Start Making Primitive Halloween Items

I realized today that I have about 3 months until “The Ohio Sauerkraut Festival”. Around here this is the show of all craft shows, about 300,000 people come to this show each year. There is over 500+ craft booths lining the main street through the village of Waynesville. It has been my favorite of all the craft shows I’ve done for the past 24 years even though we have to get up at 3am the day of the show. We use to live down there from 1985 to 1993, so we always see old friends and neighbors that stop by our booth to visit. It is a long weekend but a fun one!

With it only being 3 months away, I need to get busy crafting and start thinking about Halloween items to make.(Chirstmas & Snowman also) Seems strange to be working on my primitive halloween goodies when it is in the low 90’s outside. Fall is my favorite time of the year, so it really isn’t that hard to start working on them. Family and friends most likely think I’m weird for having halloween items sitting out on display in the middle of summer, but having to get ready for a fall craft show is a good excuse to have them hanging out and about in my house. After all my hard work, it is nice to enjoy them before I have to pack them up and put them away in the crates until the show in October.

I’ve put a few pictures here and there in this blog of some primitive halloween goodies that I made last year . Some sold at fall shows or on eBay and some are of ones that I will be listing on eBay in the next few days. So be sure and go to eBay in the next day or so to check out my listings.

Toodles for Now.

Country Primitive Garage Sale Finds

So glad the neighborhood garage sale is over. We did ok, but it was around 90 degrees here on Saturday. We had a thunderstorm go through which cooled it down for a bit, but then it got really hot. It just wasn’t any fun being in a very hot garage all day. But I can’t fuss too much since I found some country prim goodies and got to go to Cracker Barrel for dinner.

 I had a chance first thing in the morning to walk down the street to a neighbor’s, who always has alot of country primitive items at her garage sale. She had this country quilt shelf that I really liked but didn’t purchase, but picked up these…

3 painted grungy pears for a $1.00. I kept thinking about that shelf all day and decided at the end of the sale to go back down and see if she still had it. She did and she let me have it for $25.00.

Yeah, what a find! I cleaned it yesterday and my wonderful husband hung it up for me. Now I just have to figure out what goodies I want to put on it.  I’ll post another picture of it after I get it decorated.

Prim Blessings for now.
