Up To My Ears In.....

PUMPKIN SOAP!!!!

Yeah it's that time of year again (finally)

when the fresh pumpkin soap is made.

And just a few minutes ago I poured up

pound #12.  Yep 12 pounds of soap.

And I made a mistake in the last post...

This is Jerrie"s shop...the other photo

in the last post was the back of her home...

Still, I love it and the inside...like I said AMAZING!

I have a local show this weekend...

The Annual Sorghum Festival.

I am so looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Please come join us if you can.

Well, I thought I was going to do some dying this morning...

Plan B will be put into action...

YUK!

Have a great day.

I Have Been So Bad.....

as a Blogger that is! 

Hello to you all and please forgive my absence.

Just been a weeeeee bit busy!!

Well, we finished the show at Notforgotten.

Here is a small sampling of out humble booth.

Thank you to all of our wonderful friends that came out!

We were a little frantic with some light drizzle, but all turned

out well!!  The sun even came out for a bit.

Say hello to our hostess for the day...

Lori.

Thanks Lori for a wonderful day and show.

We are now ready to head to Kentucky this weekend.

Believe it or not, I am actually ready for the show...

Imagine that!

The weather here has finally decided to cool down a bit, could even be cooler for me,

but I am sure over the next several moths I will have my share of cool weather.

Well, I have kept you long enough...

Thank You for your visit.

Have a great evening.

Robin

Warning...

DO NOT attempt to adjust your computer...

what you are about to view is real

no one was harmed in the making of these pictures!!

Can you BELIEVE this?  This is my Eli...big boy...

Monkey Butt..(do not ask)

And THIS is how he prefers to be groomed

with a BROOM!! Yes you heard me right.

He hates the little brush and he loves the broom,

so you can imagine how hard it is for me to sweep the floors.

Now, comes Sassy...my Jack.

Also know as "Girlfriend"

You thought Eli was weird...

Just look at this.....

Yes.. you see it right. SHE wants to be vacuumed!

You can't turn the thing on without her laying in the way.

Soooo, between Eli and Sassy, it's really hard to clean...

uhmmm....that may explain the excess dust critters laying around!

Good night friends and have a great day tomorrow.

The Hillsville Experience...

Mornin' folks!!!

Last we talked I was headed to Hillsville, VA for the

annual Labor Day 4 day GIANT flea market....

O-M-G...

What a blast!!!  I will be a regular there from now on.

There are roughly 5 huge fields and wall to wall vendors of

EVERYTHING!

This is the van all loaded for home...

I actually shopped the wheels of one of those metal shopping

carts and had to buy another.

This is the grain bin that I found and I LOVE it!

But I did not buy anything for the homeplace...it will go

to a show. 

                                          This is the coolest cabinet...it is

a beautiful Robin's Egg Blue

Kinda on the Folk Art side...

but look at the drawers...they are made from old

cheese boxes!!!



And the last pic is of the majority of

great items we found. What you can't see are the old

carriers, boxes, cutters and some misc. stuff that we still

need to go through.



Yep, the mister and I had a blast...

we literally

SHOPPED UNTIL WE DROPPED!

The SHOP will be CLOSED this THURSDAY!

and this is the weekend that the shows will start for us

please join us at:

A Harvest Gathering

5960 Valley Pike..Miller House Furnishings

Stephens City, VA
