Oh Happy Day....

...to announce that the winner of the 300 post drawing is.....

Drum roll please....

Jean at Prim Cats!!

WOOOHOOOO

Congratulations to you Jean...I will be sending you

an e-mail for your address.

So Uncle Billy's Day was a H-U-G-E SUCCESS!!!!

Thank you to all of the new and old friends that came to support

what I love to do!!!  Without you, I could not do this

and I really THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!!

I also want to thank Anita for minding the shop on Friday for me,

your kindness for doing that is much appreciated!

No picture or long story today...camera is packed up in the tote...and we

are going to run to the shop and unload a few things and when we

return I think we will have "quiet time"....the 94 degree heat and sun for

2 days has taken it's toll on this old body!

Have a wonderful day,

Robin

Gosh...He is Quick

Mornin', how are you all today...I am sticky and HOT!!

 I looked out this morning and Lee had already packed up most of

the goods we will be peddlin' this weekend...but I did get a picture

of my barells...I am likin' how they turned out!!

That is a great old handmade table I picked up in Maryland at

the show we did up there.

I sure do wish he could have waited just a LITTLE longer...but with the heat I

can understand him wanting it done early.

Now to answer ALL the questions about Uncle Billy's Day...it is a one and a half day

festival held in Altavista, VA. Starts this year on Friday afternoon and ends on Saturday night.  Great food vendors, plenty of music...from beach to bluegrass...and of course all the vendors...with just about everything under the sun!!  The trade lot will be open both days..

that is where they have a flea market.  I think that it is located about a block from where the actual festival. I have not been in about 6 years...took the nieces when we could play

and not hurt so bad afterwards!!!!

If your having a lot of this heat, please be careful and do not forget fresh water for

the pets!!!

Thank you for your visit and have a Blessed day,

Robin

A New Low!!!!

Hi....How are you?? When I got home from the shop

yesterday my hubby..aka Lee..had lowered my bathroom ceiling

A LOT!!!!

This is THE SMALLEST bathroom on earth!!!

But it had a whopping 10 foot ceiling...a bit tall for me...soooo

this is what he did.  Old poplar board trimmed out with tobacco sticks.

He lowered it to 7.5 foot and I LOVE IT!!!! Please excuse the mess, he just kinda

threw stuff back in there and I have not had time to pick out new paint...or wood

for the walls yet.

Today he made the walls for the vendor tent...tore 'em down before I could get a picture.

They turned out really nice. Complete with an old window...perfect to hang some cheese

cloth from and maybe a sweet potato garland, I am looking forward to using the walls at Uncle Billy's Day.

Nothing much else is going on, just trying to wrap up some last minute stuff and making

sure everything is ready.

I want to thank my girlfriend Anita....she will be minding the store for me next Friday...

THANK YOU for your help.

Just a reminder that I will be CLOSED on MONDAY

and NEXT SATURDAY...please join me at Uncle Billy's Day!!

Have a Blessed evening,

Robin

Missed Me??

....I have missed you!!! But I have also been a little busy making fences

and banners

Painting and stenciling colonial pantry boxes, covering journals, making door flags 

and covering extra small "pocket" books.

Things have just been a bit crazy the last few days!!

Our weather is still screwy, my mind has been going in a thousand

different directions and I am still very sore from the Chiro.

Are WE sure this is going to help??? 

I just want to feel GOOD again!!

I am not asking to feel like I am 20 again, heck at this point I would

settle on 40!!!!

Well friends... I think I am going to head off to bed...

Tinsley is telling me he is ready to go, Eli is patiently waiting to ambush the

first one to the steps and Lee has started to turn things off....

Yep, it's time!!!

Thank you for your visit...until next time....

Robin 

I SURVIVED!!!!

....with HELP!! Good Morning. Yes sir I did survive my visit yesterday...

can't move today but at least I am alive to talk about it.

These little gems have been a life saver for me!!!! But I have to admit

I FEEL GREAT!!!!

I am just sooooo sore, and he said I would be...

I actually have a rib out of place, trust me it hurts just like you think it would.

But, he said he would have me all fixed up in about a week.

AND....last night was the FIRST time I did not use more than one pillow...

My neck feels soooooo much better! woohoooo!!!!

I am going to live....I think.  I go back tomorrow if I can stand it.

Thank you all for the orders of the Keeping Cloth Swags...I thought you would like them.

I will be placing another order for them the first of next week!!

The shop HAS FINALLY received all the new Prim Magazines!!!!

Do Not Forget to stop by and get yours before they are all GONE!!

My friends...THANK YOU for your time and your visit to Millstone

Please do come back and sit a spell when you have the chance.

Have a BLESSED Day,

Robin

It's NEW!!!...........

......The KEEPING CLOTH is HERE!!!!

I just LOVE this!  Swags, table topper, home accent...

just about anything you want!

I have chosen to carry the black and red stars for now.

I will probably carry the brown star at a later date.

This stuff is FUN! Kinda a cross between cheese cloth and tobacco cloth...

that has already been aged!!

So...whatcha doin?  I am SICK of rain!!!!  It teases me with 2 seconds

of sun...and then a down pour hits. I am beginning to mildew!

I am working on inventory for the next festival in a few weeks.

Today I will be playing in wax and glue!!

Tomorrow I go to the Chiropractor....have NEVER been before, kinda scared.

Pinched nerve, stiff neck and general pain in the arms....

Have ANYONE out there been before.....whats it like????

Will he hurt me???

Lee is making me the Guinna pig...he says if I survive he will go....

GEEEE THANKS HON!!!!

Thank you for your visit to Millstone and please come back.

Have a Blessed Day

Robin
