Farmers Market Update

Well, I think the first Farmers Market went great...I made 3 really good contacts for other venues to sell my items...one is a consignment shop...The lady that owns the shop is excited about putting the primitives in there...I'm anxious to see how that goes too...Never done consignment before...And I did make a few sales too...everyone loved the witch boots they are based on a pattern from MoonChildsPrimitives.

The weather has turned a little cooler here so there was a little more foot traffic than when its 112 degrees outside...Can't wait to see what happens next week and at the other venues...

Farmers Market


Well, I'm going to try the local Farmers Market and see what happens...I have been looking for a new venue other than Ebay ( and I have not listed any there in awhile..some people on ebay think it's a garage sale...)
Please excuse the mess I had to take these with the garage background.

Here are just a few pics, I hope all goes well.


Primitive Folk Art Witch Boots and Hat

Primitive Folk Art Harvest Farmhand Scarecrow and Pumpkin


This is the first time I make these tall, skinny pumpkins. They really did come out great. At first glance they don't look like they're made out of fabric...

A Witch, A Shelf & A Boot

A new witch I am working on. This is from a pattern...She is going to be really spooky looking when done...she will have a hat, some string hair and some bells... I also am working on a new style of witch boot...it will have rusty bells, dried sweet annie, and other embellishments....I'll post finished photos later....


This is a great little shelf my DH makes from reclaimed wood....They are really a great size for mudrooms, hallways and along side a door...they can be ordered in several colors...the one shown is quite distressed and shown in a buttermilk color....



Blessings for now....

A big THANK YOU to CNN for all their continued efforts on this story. If we do not persevere she(Dr. Pou) will never be brought to justice...

One is called The Witching Moon, one is The Mouse Princess..and last but not least is a prim style bunny....please ignore their nakedness....I promised them they would have clothes soon....
