Our Primitive Booth at Walker Homestead

 Well, it was another awesome show at Walker Homestead and we have not unpacked the vehicles yet, but already we are thinking ahead to fall, which is my favorite.   Our booth was jam packed with handmades and antiques, and we did quite well selling both.  We were both thankful to have the most picture perfect weather for the show!     I am taking a few days to find my house again.... show season is tough, oh wait.... it's always show season for us.  It's a good thing we enjoy what we do!

my favorite very heavy part of the display, onion drying racks make a great backdrop.

 

my trusty checkout stand.

 

some of our signs and boxes of ornies.... I like it better without the tree.  They all sold well.

Thank you everyone who made the journey to Walker Homestead to spend the beautiful day with us.  We came home very tired, but feeling very blessed. 

 

   

We Have Our Prims On, and Are Waiting Patiently!

Next up on our show agenda.... WALKER HOMESTEAD! 

  Yay! 

  Thursday and Friday will be spent setting up, with great attention to every last detail, then Saturday morning, June 18th, it's showtime!

  We have worked really hard to bring you the finest of our work, and once again will have a double space! We will have a mix of antiques and handmade goods, and I think you will be pleased!  

This is truly one of our favorite shows, and we are blessed to be part of it.  The setting is serene, even while jam packed with prim enthusiasts.  The vendor lineup is spectacular, with some of the best from New England and beyond.  The owners of Walker Homestead are about as salt of the earth as you could hope to meet.  We look forward to being a part of it all, twice a year!

 Show details can be found on the show page, check the tabs above....

Also, we have a great selection of handmades both at Hidden Treasures, and at Cozy Cat Primitives!

  As always thanks for your friendship and support! oxo, Denise and Matt

   

Happy May Day

I'm not sure why, but I always feel more like a spring chicken on May 1st!  I love springtime and the warmer days, and our gardens.  Tag sales have started, and Matt has brought home a few treasures to surprise me.  The first Brimfield Flea Market of the year begins May 10th and I am looking forward to it!

 

 

 April was a rough month for us.  I can't believe all that happened in a month's time, but we made it to the other side!  I have come to the conclusion that I can no longer take on any special orders while caring for my mom.  My stress level is just too high already.   What you find at the shows and shops I'm in will be my only offerings, except for a little bit on my etsy page and my website.  I am so sorry for that, but I have to do what's best for my family and keep the focus on them. 

 

After a month of almost no creating, this past week was a very productive one and I took a trip to Hidden Treasures to replenish the prim room.  Lots of my cute little raggedies, a mercantile piggy, some woolen kitties, patriotic ornies, and signs and blocks to fill it up.   It looks very nice, and I am hoping to make another trip this week.  I am so proud of Laura!   The love she has for her shop really shows!

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue!   How quickly this month has gone...

The Sams

I sold out quickly on my Uncle Sam dolls during the summer show in Olde Deerfield, and have created a few more to join the pumpkin and witch dolls in my Autumn display. They look so cute standing in a row!

Americana Sam Stocking

Having a great time with my patriotic dolls and looking forward to Deerfield. The pattern to make this prim stocking is complete, and posted on my website, as is the finished doll. I had a great time making him!

Patriotic Creations

gosh what a rough couple of weeks! I thought a nice bouquet of lilacs would cheer me up, and instead I ended up being sick with an acute allergy/asthma reaction. Now I am really working hard to catch up and finish my patriotic creations for the Deerfield summer show in June. Plus a bit of pattern writing, hopefully. I had to buy a new mouse and keyboard and am having trouble with the keyboard.... we aren't working well together and I keep skipping keys.
In the meantime the gardens are pitiful, and I hope to work out there again, once the lilacs are done blooming!
