New Grungy Pantry Jar Lights

How pRimitiVe these have turned out! I have them listed in my store as well as Etsy. These are a delight to prim up for your gatherings ...so cool with the battery tealight! I love the labels ...they are unique and OOAK. These are big sellers at my shows so I have decided to also include them in my store. They are a quart size glass jar that would look great in any prim setting. I have kept myself busy with these the last few days ...now it is time to make some candy corn bowl fillers ... first off to get my haircut then I will be busy at work! Hope that your day is going well! ~~Bobbie

Nice weather weekend!

What a beautiful weekend it was this past Labor Day. Yes, a few clouds .... no rain and some nice sunshine was in our forecast. I had a very nice show at the local Farmer's Market Saturday morning, thanks to all my wonderful repeat and new customers! It is really nice to meet people that love the things that I do! We had a nice time at our neighbors/friends BBQ ~ great food and new people we met and a spectacular fireworks show put on by neighboring Lake in the Hills. We finsihed the weekend with a simple grill-out with my parents. A nice three days ... the boys had a nice time going the Lake in the Hills (aka Sunset Park) festival on their own (of course with a group of friends) just no Mom and Dad watching over them. Anyway the Red/White and Blue days are now over, time to change it out for the fall things ~ my favorite time ~ I am late in decorating ...had some orders to fill and just "stuff" to do! Hopefully my home will be done by the end of the week and I can post some pictures! I am ordering new candles for the fall and some rosehips ... and other small items to add to the season so be sure to come and check them out! Remember to take a look at Etsy ... sometime I don't put the same things in the store. I added the link ... thanks for reading todays blog and I hope that you are having a wonderful day! ~~Bobbie

For me I will be busy Saturday at the Huntley Farmer's Market in the morning then hopefully I want to decorate my home for the fall ~ I am late! My mums are outside but nothing in house! Anyway I am still busy crafting away ~ enjoying some new things for the fall season ... and I did a really cool set of stacking boxes ... check them out. I have them listed on ETSY as well as in my store. I will be finishing off my weekend with a BBQ by friends followed up with a fireworks show in our neck of the woods. We are also welcoming my Mom home from rehab this weekend ... she had a couple week stay to regain some strength after a pace-maker was put in. Kids are of course happy to have a three day weekend ... then back to school til the next day off in October! Well that is all for now ...wishing you some nice days ahead! ~~Bobbie

Tuesday Tuesday

Hmm...Tuesday already! I am busy working on some witch hat ornies and finished my prim wreaths! I am finally getting to WORK! I will be at the Huntley Farmer's Market this Saturday...those that are close mark down the date ... there are some activities planned and entertainment ...check out Huntley's website for the details. I went browsing through one of teh few country stores that are left in my area today ...so refreshing. I did manage to find a unique witch hat made from a rusty tin, a couple of witch cork coasters and one little scarecrow plate ...yep I love other peoples finds too! I was reading in my Country Business magazine this week about the economy and what is suffering, I know we are personally with my hubby out of work, but I like the others are finding other ways to give a lift to oneself and that is small indulgences...like fragrances, small items for around the home, and seasonal merchandise. They are saying the small ticket items are the ones that people are buying for it gives them the little left they need sometimes...I know I need it. I have my faith also, that this all will work out for us in maybe not the way I would want, but maybe what will be best for my family. Many lessons are learned on ones' journey and you have to be quiet for a moment to listen. Well that is all for now, I will post some pics of my finds and of the wreaths and hats that I finally finished ..yippee!!
