you drive 98 miles one way just to get to a store?
(I made a goof in linking to someone’s blog and it messed my post up for those following me so I had to repost…disregard if you have already read this…nothing new has been added…just needed to get back on track – AND I SEE IT’S STILL LINKING TO HER BLOG….darn…don’t know how to get it off the heading)
A fantastic experience in a most wonderful Prim shop. Yep, we finally got to go to Yore Country Home in Gotham, WI. Oh my what fun. I no more got my head in the door and Theresa all bubbly said “I know who you are”…lol I completely forgot that I had left a comment on her blog that we might drive over there on Thursday and she remembered my face from my blog.
Here’s her blog link:

The store is so big it took awhile to take it all in and let me tell you the prices are wonderful.
Theresa just started carrying rug hooking wool and patterns so I took along two of my rug hooking projects so we could determine a color for some areas and we did…I bought some fabric which she immediately cut into strips for me as well as some I brought along.
I could have set up home in that place and Theresa is like a long lost friend with here wonderful personality.
Thanks Theresa for such a wonderful couple hours.
Besides the wool fabric we purchased a great old grain hopper that I think we will use in the screen room with Geraniums in it – she had it displayed that way and I liked it.

Now I am not sure how many photos I took there but there are many – so I put them in albums.

Hope you enjoyed your tour…it’s a huge store.
We also went to Country Sampler in Spring Green and I found some more Mercury Ornaments. Mostly large ones but a couple of the small ones…at Christmas time I was on a mission to find them.

Hi Karen! Glad you had a great time in Gotham. Marla and I are heading over there this Friday/Saturday. We're doing a girl crafting trip overnighter. Yay! It was hard, but I didn't look at your pictures of Yore - I really want to be taken by surprise. I'm sure it will take my breath away! Thanks for sharing - I always enjoy both your blog and website. -Vicki, Simply...

Hi Karen, I just wanted to tell you how much I love reading your blog. Yours was the first one I read about 2 years ago. I linked over from CS magazine forum. And from then on its been a whole new world for me!! I just wanted you to know that. Your home is beautiful and thank you so much for sharing and I would drive almost 100 miles to shop!!! I live near Atlanta and there are not many prim shops near me, so I search the web alot
ReplyDeletetake care,
Anita
Your A Winner!! I have just done the draw Karen, and your name got pulled out of the bucket! Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteIf you could drop me an email with your address (I have an email link on my blog), I can get your doll wrapped and posted onto her new home.
Now to your post, what a FANTASTIC store!! I know I say this often, but I sure wish we had store's like that here in the UK. Never mind I shall have to make do with "drooling" over the photo's!
Have a lovely day and I look forward to hearing from you soon,
Karen
Karen, HOLY MOLY, You sure did go to a GREAY prim shop!!!I LOVE, LOVE the goodies you bought there and the pictures of the shop are fabulous. Now if I lived closer I would have hopped in the car with you and Doug(LOL) because you always find the greatest shops and the greatest items!!!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy reading your blog!
Big Hugs to you my friend,
Tricia
UMMMM!!! ;DDDD
ReplyDeleteI don't know what to say. Oh, I do know one thing for sure. I WILL be stopping by YORE's when I'm up in that area for sure. I just love ALL YOUR pictures of this shop. You really purchased some wonderful things from both stores. The mercury and tin pieces are awesome(I love mercury and tin). Not familiar with Country Sampler, but would love to check it out too. Glad to know your trip was an enjoyable one for you. Gosh you are an awesome shopper. You should publish your own Prim Shop Directory. :)))
Thanks SO Much for sharing Karen,
Hugs 2 Ya,
Marlene
Oh what fun!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog & I'm enjoying every minute.

Oh what a fun trip! I'm sure you and hubby had a good time despite the miles you put in that day. That's a beautiful picture of you and Theresa! You look like you have been friends for a very long time. Goodness, her shop is packed with awesomeness!! That is a neat grain hopper and will look wonderful with geraniums in it.
