seen... and she found them all in the same place!

stayed together... for now anyway!

Fall Market Open House Pictures

Finally have found time to post a few

pictures from our Fall Market.

There are more in an album on fb

if you want to see more! 

Crochet thread pumpkins... almost through the 

orange & green ones in the Good Will bag.

Then I had an idea... pumpkins!

Great old porch swing... has a hint of orange!

Poverty Hill homegrown pumpkins... 

again a big hit! 

It's a Small World...

... indeed!

A couple of weeks ago I was browsing Craig’s List,

as we “junker’s” do! I was looking for old windows for

the “Mr.” to create with. I found 4 windows in

in a neighborhood across town from us.

We find the house... an adorable older home with 

oh, such cute character!

Their is a work crew in the front yard as they are just 

finishing putting in new windows. 

As we look across the yard we see a girl that looks familiar!

She was our neighbor when she was a little girl!

Her boyfriend’s brother lives in the charming house!

I’ve chatted with her on fb with her now and then 

but, hadn’t seen her in years. It was good to catch up!

It’s a small world! 

Then as we start to chat with the owner and she

asks what we are going to do with the windows. 

I tell her we have a shop and we make furniture.

She tells me she has two ETSY shops... 

one for her art and one for vintage baby clothing! 

 A creative connection is made! 

Abby is a young mom choosing to stay home

to raise her son...

creating  her art  when the little one naps! 

Check out Abby’s wonderful works @ 

 http://www.etsy.com/shop/PerryWiggles

http://www.etsy.com/shop/WeeVintageBaby 

It is a small world, indeed! 

Changing of Seasons!

their awesome home grown 

pumpkins & some big news of their own!

My Fall Wish List!

{Of 2010... and it hasn't changed!} 

... long warm Autumn days

... seeing the leaves slowly turning all the beautiful colors of Autumn

... sunsets that take my breath away

... tee shirts by day, sweat shirts by night

... fireside chats with the family

... weekends feeling as if Monday is still a day away

... hoping my “to do” list is accomplishable

... that the hands of the clock keep ticking...

... just a little slower.

What's on your fall wish list? 

Hope you enjoy the rest of the summer

& that all the wishes on your 

fall wish list come true! 

Stop and see us!
