How Many?

It's raining Christmas Bulbs!

I came home from work today and my awesome husband

had all 80 Christmas bulbs painted!  

Hopefully by the weekend they will all be complete,

priced & ready for the Holiday shows! 

I'll post a finished picture as soon as

they're done! 

Is it...

... the Beverly Hillbillies?

... Sandford and Son?

OR

The Whistle Stop

The weekend of our Fall show was also

the weekend for the Vencie Flea Market! 

And we couldn't let the junk pass us by so we

made several quick trips before and after opening 

the shop! We managed to fill the pick-up four times! 

Some of these "wonderfuls" have already been 

done up in Whistle Stop style and are at 

the shop ready for you to take home and love!  

  

... and there will be more to come! 

Y'all come back now, y'hear?.

Open Saturdays  10-4

(Oct. 30th we will be closed preparing 

for our Holiday open house!) 

It All Adds Up!

Torn tendon in my foot = a boot for 3 weeks

+

2x6 falls on my husbands foot = limping in pain

          

            +              

Bandsaw broken = time & profits dwendling


All of the above = NO TIME FOR TEARS!

'Tis the season!
 to burn the midnight oil in spite of it all!

Fall Marketplace Show...

Hocus Pocus...

Let the Autumn Magic begin...

... and it did at

The Whistle Stop's

Fall Marketplace Open House!

Go to our website and check out

our pictures of the show!

The sleepless nights paid off

as the shop's displays came together,

looking very much like Fall had

arrived. Everything was ready by

the strike of 10:00 on

Thursday morning!

It was great to meet fellow Blogger,

Connie from She Dreams Big & to

see Brenda again from Pine Tree Prims.

It was also great to meet Phil and Linda

from Sweet Annie's Primitives in Roca, NE.

Jolene from Weathered and Worn

Country Store of Papillion, NE and

Deb from Country Sampler, of Omaha

visited too. It is always a great complement

when other store owners take time

away from their "to do list" to visit

our little bit of a country store!

And of course I wish I could name

each and everyone of our wonderful,

tide & true customers that come to

The Whistle Stop's open houses.

Rain or shine, Spring, Summer or Fall,

year after year, they come and shop

with wonderful things to say...

... and that makes us do it

again and again and again!

Fall Show...

... survived day one & on only 3 hours of sleep.

Thanks to all who came to the open house today.

A fellow blogger, three fellow shop owners

and many, many wonderful customers made our

first day very rewarding!

Too tired to post pic's tonight.

I'll get them up soon!

Nighty, night...

... a little bit of Autumn is brewing

in the craft room!

Now if the "Good Witch" would only

share some magic so I could

fill up the shop in just three days!!!

I am just a wee bit behind!

... and one last little treat to share from

Summer's End!
