Embroidered Country Runner

2014-03-11T10:23:00.003-07:00

I made and embroidered this table runner for a friend. The table runner is for her dinning room table. The runner is five feet long, is a prim color, and has a brown blanket stitch around the edge. The sun flowers are embroider on in yellows and the leaves in different colors of green. The flowers are in the middle of the table runner. On both ends of the runner the words Prayer Changes Things are embroider on in a brown with sun flower at the top corners of the words. This has already gone to its new home.

Vintage Tea Kettle and Cutting Board

2014-03-11T10:08:00.002-07:00

The first picture is a vintage enamel tea kettle before I painted it. The second picture is of the same vintage tea kettle after I painted it. The kettle has a salt block house, sheep, trees, sunflowers, and a fence painted on one side. The rest of the kettle is a honey brown the handle is painted red but its laying down where you cant see it. The little handle on the lid and around the edge of the spout is painted a red just like the house. Around the top of the tea kettle the words are painted in honey brown on the red and say Bless This House.
The cutting board is painted to match the tea kettle. Across the top of the cutting board it has a berry vine with little red berries painted on it. The bottom of the cutting board has kindness matters painted on. The words are in honey brown on top of the red color.
I painted this for a lady in Pennsylvania. The tea kettle will soon be on its way to its new home.

Little Wooden Stool

2014-02-20T13:54:00.002-08:00

This little wooden stool was made for me by my five year old grandson for valentines day. It says 10 miles to grandma and grandpa house. The truck is made from his foot print and the tree from his hand print. His dad helped him build the stool and his mom helped him paint it. I will keep it forever.

Antique Rocker

2014-02-13T10:13:00.000-08:00

I found this cute little child's rocker at a auction a couples weeks ago.The antique child's rocker is cloth covered and in good shape. The rocker looks like it has the original cloth still on it. The child's rocker doesn't look like it has ever had the wood refinished either. The rocker is still sturdy and in good shape.
I love children's furniture, specially chairs and rockers. This one looks great setting in my living room with a old bear in it.

Antique Baby High Chair

2014-02-10T13:09:00.000-08:00

I think this high chair is from the earlier 1900s or late 1800s. Its in good shape and has a enamel tray that slides on and off. This antique high chair has a dark stained finish on it. I found the antique baby high chair in Sherri Carroll booth at American Classic Marketplace in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
I had to stay In Colorado Springs last fall while I underwent radiation. One afternoon my granddaughter and I had nothing to do so we went over and checked out Sherri space. She has the neatest things in her booth, nether less to say this now belongs to me. The enamel tray on this antique high chair makes it so different and unique that I just couldn't pass it up. The high chair looks great setting in my living room with an old doll setting in it.
This antique mall has 65,000 square feet and is located 1815 Academy Blvd (on the corner of Academy Blvd and Constitution). Plan on spending several hours in here if you want to see it all.
Find Sherri Carroll or her business Dusty Plains Mercantile on face book. Sherri repurposes old furniture into beautiful new functional pieces. You can find her repurposed furniture in her booth at American Classics Marketplace. Sherri puts pictures of her furniture before she repurposes it and after she has repurposed it. She does such a remarkable job on everything she does.

Antique Childs Vanity

2014-02-09T12:41:00.001-08:00

I found this antique shabby chic child's vanity while I was out yard saleing last summer. The antique child's vanity has been painted white, the paint has a crackle look to it. The antique child's vanity has two drawers in the front which are in good shape and pull out easily, The antique vanity is sturdy and you can still see yourself in the mirror. The little antique shabby chic vanity is 27 1/2" long, 13" wide, 29" tall with the mirror its 49" tall. A little girl would sure have fun sitting at this and combing her hair. The drawers would be perfect to keep her bows in.

Repurposed Antique Side Table

2014-02-08T10:20:00.001-08:00

Here is a antique side table that I found at a yard sale last summer. Someone has repurposed the table and painted the table barn red. The repurposed side table is 19" tall 21 1/2" long and 14" wide. This repurposed side table would be great beside a bed or chair specially if you just had a small place to set one. This little antique side table would look great with your primitive country décor.

Handmade Embroidery Table Runners

2014-02-07T14:43:00.002-08:00

These are two of the runners that I embroidery this last year while I was stuck at home doing chemo.
They are made from a heavy muslin fabric. I cut out two pieces hand embroidery on one side and sewed them together and used a blanket stitch around the outer edge. I designed my own patterns for both of these. You can find both of these in the gift shop at Shorty Café in Granada, Colorado.

Antique Baby Buggy

2014-02-05T12:21:00.000-08:00

I found this baby buggy while yard selling this last summer. It took a lot of cleaning and is not in real good shape.
I thought it would be great to use as a display and fill it full of Raggedy Ann dolls.
I have the raggedy Ann dolls body done I just need to stuff them and do their faces.

Primitive Snowmen

2011-12-15T15:48:00.000-08:00

Came into the shop this morning, and could not believe my eyes.
Those two trouble making snowmen where missing. They are normally setting here on this vintage couch.
I looked every where in the shop for them and they where no where to be found.
I looked in the kitchen room and up stairs in the Garden Room.
The door was locked when I came in so they couldn't have gone out. where did they go?
i went next door to Country Home Furnishings to tell them what happen. Walked passed the front of their store and what! I had to look twice there those trouble makers set in the window. Now how did they get out of my shop and into Country Home Furnishings during the night with the door locked?
I don't know what I an going to do with them. What next?

Primitive Snowmen

2011-12-15T15:22:00.000-08:00

Found the missing snowmen. When I first seen them they where setting in the window of Country Home Furnishing. (Which is the store next door to mine). There they set with Santa right on the chair Santa was going to set on. By the time I got through the door they where gone. Looked all around for them. Finally I found them in Santa sleigh hiding in the packages trying their best to see what was inside of them . When I went to get them out they took off but Mrs Clause caught one of them and I got the other one. I just don't know what these two will do next. Hope I don't have any more problems with them. I hope Country Home Furnishing don't get upset with me because these two trouble making snowmen got loose from my shop and was into things in their store. wish someone would come and give them a home.

Primitive Snowmen

2011-12-10T11:49:00.000-08:00

These snowmen are always in so much trouble. All they want to do is hang out here in the shop on this couch. Don't they know snowmen belong outside in the cold.
But today they were at their worst. This little shopper was in the store with his dad and when we weren't looking, they had gotten him upon the couch with them. The one with the hat on grabbed him and gave him hug. Our little shopper was so surprised that he gave him a hug back and told him I love you so much snowman. Look at that look on the snowman face pure shock. He was trying to scare our little shopper but the little shopper was to young to know snowmen don't give hugs. So the three of them sat there and had quite a interesting conversation. Our little shopper was telling them all about the big trucks that where driving by the shop. I had to take the picture of the three of them I thought it was so cute. Our little shopper was only two years old. Wish someone would come in and buy these guys so they aren't always causing trouble. They are 15% off through Christmas.
They are pretty big, you can tell by the picture and are weighted so they set up nicely. They would a nice gift or add to your Christmas decorations and they can be left out through January. They go nicely with your prim decor.
