Simple Things


~~~~~~~
New beams installed at the shop,
all wrapped and lit up.
The ceilings are so high in the shop
we thought that these would help...
and it sure does!!
Very cozy feeling now when you first walk in.




Some of our things that will be heading to Knoxville with us..
love this dry red board with old tin.
Great for the center of your table or a wall hanging...
and a great red farm table.



Millstone's make-do chair...
with patch



Another picture of the farm table...
and what a cute pumpkin!!



Close up of "Earl"



The start of the collection for the
Gettysburg Show...
great blue pie safe,
drying rack
cricket light,
red bucket
yellow ware mold...



Still working on more pumpkins and crows...
hopefully they will be ready for packing on Wed.

Enjoy the cooler weather...
for now.

It's the time of year for.......

***********
Brewing...and I do not mean beer.
I am rushing fall...I long for it!!
I can't wait!!!

Sooo...look at my colors of fall.
and you should smell this....
caramel apples, maple syrup,
small undertones of spices...
all cooking up in my cauldron...
o.k. so it's not a cauldron but it is an old speckle pot.
My old home smells so good.
"Witches Brew" by millstone

This batch shall head to Knoxville with us next week...
where, along with pumpkins, ghost, crows and oh yeah..
antiques,
Millstone will start the fall show season!
Very excited...but darn my fingers are sore!

THANK YOU for all the phone calls and e-mails wondering if we would be back at
Walker Homestead in Sept...
we shall be in Kentucky for the wonderful
Kentucky Roots Show
(need to be cloned sometimes!!)

Good Luck to all of the kidos who went back to school today (Amherst)...
and ya know what that means.....
College Football CAN'T be far behind!!!!

Blessings from our home,
Robin

For 2 days I have tried to take some pictures..

DEAD battery.

Looking so forward to the
Gathering in Knoxville.

I will let you in on a secret:

I am so very proud of him.
It's been the HARDEST 2 weeks of his life, or so he says.
No matter what:
A VERY big shout out to you honey!!

Oh What A Tangled Mess...

*************
We weave when practice to deceive....
HOWEVER: the only person I am trying to deceive is
MYSELF!!
Yep, I am trying to convince myself that I still have all
the time in the world to get going on fall.
It's still summer I say..hot, dry, humid...
fall seems so far away...
I talk about wanting it sooo badly...
Now HOLY COW...
I changed the calendar and it says
AUGUST...
Really???
How in the world did THAT happen...
and then I saw it...
Knoxville, TN 
The Gathering
leaving on Thursday Aug. 23

Guess I better get to work on these guys huh?



This is done...but he is the ONLY
one who is... 




Still needs stuffing...along with about
20 more of various sizes and sayings


And there is soooo much more in the home shop...
***HELP***

I work better under pressure...
that's a GOOD thing.
Well off to Lowes and Michaels...
you didn't think I was going to start working
TODAY

Blessing from our home,
Robin
