~~Bee Hive~~Hornbeam~~

Good evening... hope all is well with you.

Can you imagine keeping your food in one of these?

or keeping your bees in it?

Bees you wonder...well I have been told it is either

an OLD bee hive or hornbeam.

More have told me that it was a hornbeam than a bee keeper.

I love it either way...

they are getting rare..

hard to fine...

and are really a cool piece of history.

"A Simple Life"...(jill peterson)

did an article on them in the fall 2011

issue.

You can see where this one had an old leather band

around it at one time...possibly to hold it together??

It still has a small piece of it clinging on.

This is a neat piece also, great green paint still in some areas.

Have never seen one with "cubbies" as I call them

You can see where the flour sifter used to be.

This may just have to hang in MY kitchen...lol

Excuse the red tape, did not want it flying open

for the trip home from TN.

Looking forward to returning there in August..

see all you guys again!!!!

We are going at it pretty steady getting ready for our

next show

Gettysburg!!

So looking forward to that!

Been told it is a packed house...so if

you can attend I think it would be worth your time!!

BIG NEWS!!!

I now have a screened door on the front of the shop....

~~woooohooo~~

Such a pleasure to have the door open and hear the birds,

smell the fresh cut grass

and of course hear the traffic!!

Love It!

Thanks honey...aka Lee.

Thank you for your visit to Millstone

and we will talk later.

~~Success~~

A big Thank You to Jackie and all of

the wonderful friends that we now have in TN. for making

"The Gathering" a success.

We survived set-up..we only had one booth for this

show...never have had that small of a space before...

needed 2 (or more)...moved walls 3 times...poor Lee...

moved a green cupboard a bizillion times...poor Lee

tables were moved, taken down and re-set back up...poor Lee

...see a pattern here.

He was an angel!! Never complained, cussed or fussed!!!

Give him a round of something!!

O.K. here are only a few pics...google and I are

not friends right now!!

This last picture Lee went upstairs to take a picture...during

set-up...guess he needed a break!!

We also survived tornados..EVERYWHERE!!

They were all around us but the only thing that happened here

was that we lost power...but I needed to go to bed anyway...

al was good!!

Thank you for your visit,

I really appreciate each of you, yiour comments and e-mails!!

~~~Coming To An End~~~

the weekend that is. We have had a fast and fun

weekend.

Date night was fun and I will show you what I

found...or what found me that is...

First is this EARLY 1800's Virginia

Butter Worker...it's in mint shape and I just love

the patina of the wood.  I swear you can still

smell the butter on the paddle.

Next is the early 1800's bassinet.

I have some antique ticking that I will

be fashioning some make-do bedding.

The wood in this piece is awesome also.

Moving on is this great green chair.

I can see this on the buggy with grandmother

holding tight. This too is in great shape,

but I must say that it is a lot easier getting into it

then it is getting out of it!



 And last we have this great make-do rocker.

I purchased this in NC this past Monday from

Nan Brook Farm...

I love her booth, some amazing things!

I had to have this rocker...something was talking to me!

Great Job!!!



The last few days have been a blur...

getting ready for Knoxville...

 have gotten Cats and Carrots down to a fine art!!  lol

My last carrots were a little overdone...I am calling those

"fresh dug".  REAL DIRTY!!!!

Well friends, the buzzer is sounding so

I guess something in the kitchen is done, and

since I burned the bacon...yep to a black nasty crisp,

I better go check it.

Thank you for your visit to Millstone and have a

Blessed evening.

Robin
