Still Here~~~~~

~~~~~~~~
I am still here...this is just the busiest time of year!!
I truly know how Santa must feel...
I just finished crows and witches and I leave tomorrow
for Lancaster, Ohio for
American Traditions Antique and Folk Show
"A Patriotic Christmas"
What...
Well here are some shots of the last show
~Finally~



A fun fall Door Greeter


Halloween Gatherings


And my friends...


Here are 2 of them anyway...
Linda on the left and Anita on the right.
Some of you may recognize Anita from the shop...
she runs the shop for me while I am away at shows.
THANK YOU GIRLFRIEND!!!


And just some of their wares...


So...I get home from the shop today and this is what I found..


I thought someone had sent a gift...
come to find out Mr Millstone had been at it again.
This is HIS Santa...hand drawn out and 100% hand stitched.
He made this using an old feedsack...
I have been with him for 14 years and he NEVER ceases to 
amaze me.

Have a Blessed evening.

I will be out of touch for a few days as we leave in the am...

SHOP IS CLOSED SATURDAY

Mark Your Calendar........

~~~~~~~~~~
We would love to have you...
Hope you can attend.


Call me olde fashioned...but there will be
NO Christmas
in the shop until the open house.

Don't you remember when you were little the excitement there was in going shopping the day after Thanksgiving...today we call this Black Friday...but there
WAS a day when it was just a fun family shopping day.....
waiting patiently to see the new toys...making your Santa list
and at the end of the day there was always hot chocolate with
peppermint...my Mother was the Queen of hot chocolate,
shopping and decorating...guess I got it honestly.
O.K. enough of this....

Millstone will be CLOSED on
WEDNESDAY OCT 17
as Cathy and I head to Gettysburg
for the AWESOME
AMERICAN HANDCRAFTERS WHOLESALE SHOW...
all handmade in the good old USA!!!
Can't wait....
