New Shelf from "Firecracker Kid"

Carol "Firecracker Kid"  and I did a swap, of course I love everything of Carol's , but decided on

one of her awesome shelves. I really like the label she put on the shelf too, "Jenkins Farm Poulty

Conditioner".  the people that built and lived in the old farmhouse that we are remodleing in WV,

their last name was Jenkins. So I may put it at the farmhouse, but for now I want to just enjoy it here in VA.

  Please check out Carol's Blog, her and her husband make the most wonderful shelves and other prims.


Thanks Carol, I absolutely love my new shelf. You are the greatest! Don't you just love the color!

Meeting a blogging friend and something she made me!!!!!

As many of you know Jean - Prim Crafts and I only live about 8 miles apart. Lucky me!!!!

We have met , but decided to get together again yesterday. She came over to my hair salon and had her

hair cut. Darn 'I forgot to take pictures. I hope you like your hair cut Jean. Then we went out for lunch.

 But I had asked Jean if she would make me a standing prairie doll. Without hesitations she said yes, Well to

my surprise she made two instead of one, she said they were, "Prairie Sisters" !!!

Look at these dolls, aren't they the cutest ever!! I love them!!!

I love the fabrics Jean has used, I love how this one is standing.

Isn't she the cutest sister!!!

I think they are my new favorite dolls!!!! They look awesome displayed on my old hoosier!!!

Perfectly Prim, thank you Jean from the bottom of my heart, Jean is so beautiful on the inside and outside. She made these for me as a gift. I can't express in words,
how thankful and proud I am of these dolls Jean.

Today I received two packages in the mail. I will show pictures of one package today and the other one

tomorrow. This package was a surprise and it was from a very sweet lady , Linda, Parkers Paradise

Linda has one of the biggest hearts and is one of the kindest persons that I have ever met.

Thank you Linda, for surprising me, I love my goodies!

Wow, look at all of this, I am in awe of all of this!!!!

Look at this wonderful old sewing basket filled with old sewing notions. ( Look at the  needle pack, the old tape measure and other goodies),. she also included a quilting book.

I wanted you to see some of the prices on the threads, but they aren't showing up too well. There is some for 29 cents, some for 35 cents. Wow

More thread and an awesome americana tissue holder.

I kept thinking what awesome thing can I do with all of this beautiful thread, I saw one of my old green canning jars and it hit me, doesn't it look awesome in the jar!!!!
Thank you Linda, I love my goodies!!!
