High prices

A child's Mennonite Prayer Bench

This is not from the auction, but I forgot to show you

earlier. They would keep this under the bed and before

going to sleep would pull this out and kneel down.

This is the rocker Lee is working on.

Covering it in early quilt with the best browns...

quilt date 1890=1901.

And this wonderful churn. It's not new,

just been re-done.

What Fun We Had....

Some quick pics of our booth...

I wish they were better, but we had to completely

re-do our booth...long story.

Lee took the pics and he would have rather been shopping!

THANK YOU for coming out in the cold and wind to support

us...it means so much to both of us.

And a HUGE thanks to Donna and Linda for another

successful show.

Driving home was like playing dodge ball, except we

were dodging tree limbs and debris from the extreme

high winds. Lee did a fantastic job pulling that trailer...

I kept me eyes closed and my mouth shut!!

Thanks for you visit to Millstone...
have a blessed night and I will talk to you mid week.

Robin

Good News!!!

...The "Girls" and I are fine!!

Good to go for a year!!

Thank you for you e-mails and prayers of a

positive outcome, they truly

inspire me to

"Think Good Thoughts".

It helped going exploring yesterday with Lori...

I just LOVE getting her

"confused" on back country roads.

Thank you girlfriend for the laughs and good memories...

even if you did get all the

"stuff"...lol

I came home with a stick. Truly!

Just could not find a lot to buy, the areas

pretty much picked over.

HOWEVER...

I am sure that there will be

PLENTY

I got tired of waiting....

                                                Don't you love it? I did. old and primitive

just like me!!

Look at the wood hinge thing in the pic below.

Never has seen one like that.

This will be going with us to either

Tenn. or Gettysburg

I would rather be putting it in my home!!



Before I forget to mention it...the shop will

NOT OPEN ON WED UNTIL NOON...

I pray that all is well on this check-up.

So, what's everyone up to this week?

~~Small Things and a HAM~~

Hi friends!! It's been a while I know,

but I do not live a very exciting, glitzy life.

It's pretty much the same around here.

A few things to show ya, my boxes with the

old time paper tops,

the little baskets I call

"Seed Baskets".

I have hand sewn fabric onto them

and also sewn a "paper scent" packet to stick

in the top.

And you see the 'ham" in the picture, my worst and best

critic. "We" had just finished cleaning up the little

"droppings" all over the counter top. Yes sir

"A MOUSEEEEE".

Eli does not look worried though, he is to busy getting his

picture taken and before that he was laying out

in the sun with the dogs...

70 degrees here today.

EXCUSE me...but what happened to winter??

I really would like some cold and snow...

Yeh, yeh...go ahead and scream at me now!

But just a little snow would be nice.

Or even some cooler temps, I can't even where

my new sweaters from Christmas...

lord help me a sweater, a hot flash and temps above 50...

move outta my way cause SOMETHING will be coming off!!!

Have a great evening friends...

thank you for your visit and enjoy tomorrow.

~~~Fresh From The Garden~~~

~~My Primitive Garden~~

These are my interpretation of

primitive carrots.

In my garden you do not have to all be alike,

different is good thing.

I am trying very hard to get ready for Spring in the shop...

which will be taking place after

Winter In The Valley.

I have bought a white feather tree which I

aged (not big on bright white)

and this will become my

"All Year Long Tree".

Hopefully the ideas that are in my head will come out

as planned... {yeh right}.

Will keep you posted on any progress, and if you

are in the area, stop by and see if progress is happening!!

Thanks for your visit,

Robin
