Goode Things ~

Greetings Friends & Folk!

yesterday Robin (Millstone Mercantile) & I went shopping!
we (she) drove us out to Bedford, Roanoke & Salem VA.


we went to
Old Mill Primitives
Two Peas in a Pod
Charlotte's Web
&
Buy the Seasons


here's what I bought....


a black tree
a wooden trug
a patchwork heart pincushion
a black sheep doll
some wonderful raw linen
& an orange & white crocheted doily...


...and here's what I did with the black tree & orange and white doily!!


this tree will now proudly stand, year-long, in the shop...
it is decorated with models (not for sale) lovingly stitched by Felicia
from bits and parts of different designer's patterns ~



here's one that I turned into a pocket to hold drieds...



here is a side-view of some Prairie Schooler and Homespun Elegance designs...


this one I've made another little pocket and tucked in dried yarrow
and my spider-web scissors...
I've also hung my witch-scissors and some other scissors for fun!


I finished it off by tucking in some dried moss
and then wrapping a poppy-colored chenille trim as garland ~


I love how it turned out...
what do you all think?

Thanks Robin,
for a fun day filled with Goode Things!!!


I'll be working in the shop today,
after I run errands...

time is Fast Approaching for the class on Saturday &
I CAN'T Hardly wait!!!!!!!


have a *Sparkling Day*...


Blessings from the Farm...
Lori

    hi, Lori
    Creativity~ love the tree~ but I am so curious how you will keep Iggy away from it?
    Last year my kitties were babies & they kept getting into them~ I am thinking I am still in trouble this year~ last night they were helping me take down some summer decorations~ they were into the summer greens oh, my!! But I love my babies!!

    Love your finds -- the orange/white doily looks great under the tree!
    Sounds like you and Robin had a fun-filled day. I can't think of a better way to spend a summer Tuesday! (or Wed., Thurs., Fri., etc.!!!)

    Your decorating is so neat! I've never done a tree for Halloween but you make it look like so much fun.
