Three Olde Crows



This year the festival was a great success!!!

and the weather could not have been better.

Thank you to everyone that came by and chatted with us.

You are why we LOVE doing this.

Now it is on to Hen House Primitives Show in MD.

We have a new group of goodies going to that....

and then it is on to

OHIO!!!

which we have a new group of goodies for that as well...

Christmas season for that show...I can't wait!!

Yeah, I know we JUST STARTED fall, but I love the sights and sounds

of Christmas as well.

I hate to run, but the man is here to service the gas logs and get us

ready for winter!!!

Talk to you soon...I promise.

Robin

WOOOHOOO..aka.. not lost any more!!

Howdy folks!!

After searching through what seemed like a bizzillion

boxes I FINALLY found my camera....

in my car.

It was right were I left it, if only I could remember leaving it there!!

So we have a small snippet of our booth at the Sorghum Festival..

Now lets move on to the Antique Expo...

with tons and tons of dealers!!!

Lee and I made 6 trips to the van before all was said and done.

Here is a SMALL portion of what we found...

or should I say "Found Us"...

This blue chair we bought in Hillsville..late 1700's,

but it had no seat...wish I could say that I fixed it but I

will not lie to you...

Lee did it.



I hope that everyone is doing o.k. and I want to

WELCOME the NEW

FOLLOWERS!!!

Remember we are just plain folks here...

nothing fancy will be found ...

just friendship

with a touch of rusty and dusty added in for a special touch!

Have a blessed day...my camera is in the kitchen drawer,

will SOMEONE please help ME remember that?  lol
