1803 Candles

I received a wonderful package in the mail yesterday from "Persnickety Primitives . 1803 Candles!!!!

The candle is "Primitive Spirit", does it ever smell yummy. I am burning it now. The candle tart is "Olde Dough Bowl",  and the jar of rose hip berries,

are scented "Caramel Apple".

OMG these are just totally prim awesome, check out Frieda's blog.

You have to get some of her awesome candles.

Thank you Frieda!!!!! I love my new candles and rose hips!!!

And the package is so lovely and prim, thanks for the hang tag too, I love it.

What I have been making!

Hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday! My husband and I went to our farmhouse in WV. We

took a drive on the back roads in the country and ate at a little country diner. I love doing that.

 As you know I love bonnets, I have 5 bonnet patterns and can only figure out 3 of the patterns,

I have a hard time with patterns I am such a visual person. And one pattern gets me so frustrated that I am

practically in tears.  But I just bought a pattern from Deb from, Pilgrims and Pioneers Primitives,

it is a beautiful pattern, and yah, I figured it out. I have made 7 of these bonnets. Plus a few other goodies.

These bonnets look great hanging on a peg rack, but really

good on the side of a cabinet door.

They have lined prims that make them nice.

A little doll dress and bonnet set, I just need to go

out in  my yard and find a stick for a hanger.

I just thought I would try making a simple bag holder,

I want to make one with my grandbabies photo on it for my daughters Birthday, shhhhh!

The bonnets are between 24-25" in length, and they are $20.00 each if interested.

Order Arrived

Candle mat and pin keep, so awesome!

Look at all the old pins, I love them.

Grapevine wire and labels can't wait to use, I love, love, love everything!!!

I had ordered a pin keep and candle mat from Brenda at "Pine Tree Prims" , Brenda is a wonderful crafter

and does awesome work. Her stitches are perfect. I love her pin keeps and candle mats!!

  Well what did that girl go and do she sent me lots of extra things.  The grapevine wire, several

packs of  old needles, a template and wonderful prim labels. I can't wait to make something with

the labels, I think I will put some labels on jars and use the cloth tags for towels.

 Brenda, you are too good to me, I appreciate all of this and can't thank you enough.

You are a wonderful prim friend. Check out Brenda's blog!!!
