A Mother's (Owner's) Love...

of course I have to show off the new
baby girl...







I could not resisit the last picture, you KNOW
you all have one of  THOSE baby pictures
laying around...
She is her new bed with her blankie and new collar...just
a temp though. No harness that small but I wanted her to get
used to wearing something.
She slept all night last night in her bed beside me, and all is well
in the household.
Eli has done a 360...yep he loves her
and he now loves to be rubbed and loved on. 
Not sure WHAT happened but had I known he was going to act like
this I would have gotten a puppy a long time ago!! 

Gotta go "play" now!!
Thank you for you visit...
and all of your wonderful comments and emails
about Katie...and Sassy.

Blessings from our home to yours

The Passing of A Special Girlfriend...


Sassy Harrison
2000-2012

our wonderful baby girl...
girlfriend...
big sister to Tinsley
Eli's play toy...

This task was one of the hardest things Lee and I have EVER done.
We new that it was coming and last night was just not
a good night for Sassy...

~~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!!
