Sunny Thoughts ~

Hi Folks!

...aren't my Black Eyed Suzies BEEautiful????

I was putzing in the garden this morning...camera in hand
and snapped these sunny pics ~

here they are mixed in with the flowering Hosta,....

and here are some pics of how I'm displaying the new
Gentle Art Sampler Threads
&
Gentle Art Shaker Threads
in the shop ~

I've hooked them to both sides of a free-standing screen door
in the center of the shop...
the pic above are the Sampler Threads,
the pic below show the Shaker Threads
and the Kelmscott Needle Minders...

...it's like a garden of threads indoors!!

I'm always looking for different & unique ways to display
things in the shop...
all of the needlework patterns are on antique clip-racks
once used to hold snacks in little grocery stores,

or vintage rounders that I can hang packaged linen from ~

speaking of which,
I just got in new linens from Wichelt ~
Lambswool
Antique Copper
Natural Brown
and,.,...well I can't remember the other!

I have the following designers' charts coming into the shop too:
Black Bird Designs
Chessie & Me
Prairie Schooler
The Primitive Needle
and many more!!!

Since we really don't have a good local needlework shop in the area,
I'm trying to bring in alot more 'stuff' for us stitchers!
will be open tomorrow if you want to stop by for a visit ~

well, folks, have to soak this hot-flash-baked body in the nice cool tub for a while...
then I'll find my ice-cream and stitching!

Hoping you all have a Happy & SAFE July 4th holiday weekend!

Blessings from the Farm...
