I loved how Rachel, Linda and Patti had 
these awesome little signs for each vendor...
YES I turned mine in so that I may come back!!


Lee's make-do chair...he sold it.

Rachel and Patti Engel...(missing Linda) 
They make a great mother daughter pair.

Good stuff...my friend Darlene from
Millstreet Mercantile...yes people do get us confused,
the names anyway.

This is the "spillover" from our booth...our actual booth was
across from this.

"A Primitive Homeplace" all decked out.

Great handmade cloth and fabric.
Beautiful rugs, placemats and small mats 

Good stuff

More good stuff

Love blue

Nice stuff

Hidden Den wares...or some of it


That's all of it for now. 
Want to thank Angie, Princess and Hubby for

There is no rest for the weary...

find a thing or two...

However I call it the
"Forever Tree" or For All Seasons Tree.

The Crow Knows

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





Good evening to you all...
Hope your life is going well.

Here at the Harrison Homestead we are chasing our tales...
so much to do and soooo little time to get it all done.

There are many many shows coming up, 
Birthdays
Graduations
Auctions...yeh I know
it's a sickness..lol
crafting
designing

And THEN to top it off I entered the 21st century..fighting all the way
 and bought
one of those d*&# new phones
that I have NOOOO
idea what the hell (excuse me) I am doing.
Heck I couldn't even figure out how to answer it...
and then when I did I don't know how I did it.

Have the beach complete with waves as a screen saver...
Cool...right??
But how the heck did I get it there...or where did
I find it...Lee said HE wanted it also (the wave thing)
yeh...in THIS lifetime??? 

I want my old phone back...but with THIS phone I went to
Wal-Mart and bought the "Square"
This is a little square thing that fits on the phone and you can slide
the credit cards right through it...
BOOM..complete
NO MIDDLE MAN!!!
sorry BB&T but I have to say 
SEE YA
to your merchant fees!!

O.K. as the crow says...
I am taking a break for a couple of days.
just until I get a better handle on things!

Bee Happy!!!
Robin
