A few of my shopping purchases and Friends Gifts

Whew, where do I start…I might have to do this in two different posts because I really did purchase quite a few items.

Also, if you read Lori’s blog:  http://loritheblackcrow.blogspot.com/2010/08/thymes-remembered.html  you can see our entire day – I forgot my camera and Lori was nice enough to let me take pictures with it and then she posted them…so go take a gander over there and see our day!

But first…we exchanged gifts at her beautiful home – and had a wonderful breakfast that Lori fixed and gave us a chance to get acquainted which really didn’t take any doing – we felt we already knew each other through the boards.

Lori gave me a gorgeous Topiary she made and it’s going in my screen room for the rest of the season – then in my bathroom
 

Here’s Lori (face covered) with the Pineapple Penny Rug table runner (which is terribly creased from being in the gift bag in the hot car for several days)

Now on to the shopping!

Some were for us and some for my business so let’s start with ‘my things’ now remember I just took photos as I unpacked…nothing is in its place – that will come sometime later when I get ready to put out our Fall things and re arrange…Ready!

This was my very first purchase when I went shopping with Lori (the black crow) – It’s really quite large and I thought it would look good on the bench on our front porch and it was only $45.00 and SOLID! It measures 27 inches long and 14 inches high…a big one. (hand made in the USA!)

And this is a table top board I wanted for hot dishes – but for now it has a few of my table items on it – measures approx 15 inches square and was $14.00 (hand made in the USA!)

New bedspread from Family Heirloom Weavers for the guest room

Fabric yardage for curtains for the guest room – matches quite well with the bedspread too

At the Lititz Craft Show a lady was painting ‘children’s items’ and so we bought a little stool for Aidan

Old Tomato Knife

Found this at Maple Croft…made in the USA – all tin and is about 8 inches around
 

Thought this little Americana doll would look good in the guest room – she was $4.00
 

Tin corner wall sconce (a tad dusty don’t ya think…guess it was sitting around for a bit!)
It’s approx 14 inches tall and 8 inches wide
 

Got these at the Craft Show too – and I got a bargain.
There are 3 clusters of Wheat and a large cluster of Sunflowers
The lady said it’s so late you can have them for 50% off….THANK YOU!!!!
Not sure what she meant by ‘late’ cuz it was only 9 a.m. – the show just started  ???

Pillow from Family Heirloom Weavers to go on the guest bed
 

2 Table squares
And a set of pillow shams (which are for the guest bed)

A Pineapple crock from the Clay Craftsman in Littlestown, PA when I was with Lori
It’s probably going to hold some kitchen utensils
 

Old Salt bag I got for $7.00 at an antique shop – maybe will make a pillow, not sure

Wonderful woven rug for the guest bathroom which is still done in a seaside/beach theme…and time for a change but it isn’t going to happen none too soon so got the rug for now.

And a Needlepunch pattern
 

I was going to put the rest in a different post but what the heck…there’s so little left it going on!

More battery candles for my website

Stubby battery candles for my website

Flag runners – I have one hanging by our back door and one on my dining room table
(for the website – 3 of them)

More flags

Santa hats – wish I had purchased more of these…they were only #2.00 each! What was wrong with me!!!!

At the Lititz show I bought this tin dough riser – my 4th in the collection

Some fabric stars I’m going to stitch something on for my website

More Silicone bulbs…never have enough of these…got 12 pkgs.
  

We stopped on Friday at IN GRANDMA’S ATTIC and purchased some Pewter Porringers and some tin containers

 

When with Lori we stopped in Gettysburg at a cute shop called  FIDDLE FADDLE and got this adorable Cutter Quilt for $27.00 which is going to be displayed in the guest room

I had ordered some months ago a cabinet for my bathroom to hold my cosmetics and also a desktop desk and I picked them up from her at the Lititz Craft Show…awesome work…very sturdy.

 

I also want to add that I received a wonderful belated birthday gift from a dear friend ‘Linda Moczan’ from Ellwood City, PA.
She had sent me a birthday card for my birthday on the 10th of July but it never made it for some reason – but it did arrive after we got home from our trip last week…THANK YOU LINDA it will be put to very good use.

So, was that enough photos????  Kind of overload don’t ya think?
Well everything is put away until I get the house in order for Fall then it will all find a home and the other merchandise is going on my website.

Oh I gotta tell you – I had 8 of the Jack-O-Lantern Jar Toppers made, put them on my website this week and within one hour all 8 were sold. Wish I had more!!

P.S. please check out my website for our huge sale that just started yesterday….many of my Fall items are on SALE right now…not sure when it will end but it’s really being taken advantage of – many orders came in just yesterday so I’m going to be busy for awhile.
