Just Maybe...

... Mother Nature does listen!

We luckily escaped the thunder

storms on our first day of our

Summer Home Show!

We had a wonderful turn out

despite the hot, humid weather.

Many "Rescued" Furniture pieces

have found new homes and many

flower stakes are blooming in

friendly new gardens!

Here is the picture I promised.

What was the successful marriage of

old, new & in-between?

A potting bench!

Recycled tin, an old enamel top

kitchen table, parts & pieces from

days gone by & a new coat of paint make

this a very functional, yet fun place to

hang out in your garden! It has drawers

for soil, hooks for string & drying gloves.

A fold down door with screen to air bulbs.

A little box to put your clippers or your

phone so you know where you put them!

Heartfelt thanks to those you came to

support our little country store today!

We really do appreciate our customers!

That's all for now...

this old gal is tired and tomorrow we get

to do it all again! If I want to be able to

count back change I'd better get some sleep!

More pic's of some awesome

furniture will post soon!

Night, Night!

Rain, Rain, Thunderstorms

GO AWAY!

THE WHISTLE STOP

has much to do today!

We have a large tent going up this afternoon,

with more than 40 pieces of furniture that

are supposed to go under it for our

Summer Home Show. Our shop is only

500 sq. feet and so to have more furniture

we rent a tent from our local Boy Scouts.

Not so sure that it's safe for the Boy Scouts

to put up a tent in lightning. I know they

are Boy Scouts and they are prepared

for everything... but, metal poles and

lightening... doesn't sound

like a good idea to me!

The grass is soggy, the rain is running down

the patio to the door of the shop, I have three

days worth of work to get done in one.

(and so my kids would say...

so what's new? )

Give me patience, give me strength,

Give me a go with the flow attitude!

Mother Nature is one that won't change

her plans just because I ask her to.

The show must go on... and it will!

A Creative Marriage...

Here is a peek at project that the

master carpenter (aka...my husband)

has been working on!

Any ideas of what it might be?

It is a marriage of many many things...

... old, new & in-between.

It will be sitting front & center on

The Whistle Stop's patio

for our Summer Home Show!

Come check it out if you can... if you are a

visitor from "blogland" I will post

pictures after the show.

Mark Your Calendars...

The count down is on!

Our Summer Home Show

is less than two weeks away!

Our storage unit is filling up with

Rescued Furniture, things of old and

the market orders have begun to arrive!

We have just a few more days to wrap

up the projects and then it's on to setting

the stage for all these "wonderfuls" in

the tent & our little bit of a country store!

If you're in the area, we'd love

for you all to stop for a visit!

We'll have the sun tea brewin'!
