Prim recipe box label, printer, flowers and a new candle mat

Good Saturday evening all! Hope your weekend is off to a great start!

I know mine is off to a great start! I received the prim label from Susie today over at Yankee Lane Primitives.
She is such a pleasure to work with. She came through and made me a label that I think looks great on this recipe box. I just love how it turned out. I was so excited about getting it that I applied it almost as soon as I took it out of the envelope...lol.




A couple of days ago, Dell was having a special on a wireless printer...$49.00 plus free shipping! I couldn't pass that up, since hubby is always crabbing about him not "having" a printer...I hog the one that I do have...ha! Anyway, I got that in the mail today also, surprised me...delivery company delivered it. Installation was a breeze. The only trouble I had was trying to get my hubby's computer to be able to print from it also. But got that figured out and now we can print from anywhere in the house!

I also thought I would show you some updated pictures of my flowers in the backyard. Everything is in full bloom now, except what the rabbits eat. My Canna's were running late this year so they are just starting to bloom. I think the cool weather has a lot to do with that. They like that heat and humidity and we just haven't had much of it. Last night on the way home from the casino, we had to have the heat on in the car, it was that chilly!!










I also got another candle mat done, desgin is by Rhonda at Primitive Stitches.





Well that is it for me, I think I will go have a DQ Dilly Bar...lol! Have a relaxing Sunday everyone!!

New shelf unit

Hi again. Here is a picture of the shelf unit that I got in the mail yesterday. Isn't this huge? I just love it though!!





Ok, that's it! Have a great weekend everyone!

A few more GW items and another candle mat stitched

Hi all! Made a trip to the GW yesterday. Didn't get too much this time.

Got this basket which I'll probably paint


And this little box that says Paper Dolls on it, I thought it was cute


And then I got this thing..lol..not sure what it's supposed be but it has Nebraska carved into it (state where I live) and has 3 squarehead nails on it. Not sure what I will do with it.


And THEN, I got these 2 books...lots of eye candy in them!!








I got an awesome shelf unit in the mail today. I had ordered it from "Through The Country Door" and I forgot to take a picture. But it's old looking, mustard color and huge!! I'll get a picture and post tomorrow.

I did get another Fall stitchery done. It's another candle mat. I enjoy this stitching thing...lol.


The back of it




School starts next week for the kids here in town. I don't have any kids left so I don't have to worry about school shopping or anything like that. Although I did do some shopping for my grandson. He started yesterday in the town that he lives in. He is in first grade this year. Time is going so fast! Hopefully he won't go to the Principal's office this year like he did last year. Kindergarten and already had to go sit in the principal's office....what a boy!!

Gonna be a great weekend here temp wise....70's through next week. It's gonna be lovely out and a feeling of Fall right around the corner!!

You all have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!!

New item for Etsy, redos and some finds

I'm late getting these redo pictures to you. I only have 3 to show you that I got completely done. I still need to find a prim label to put on the recipe box that says recipes on it.







All the following pictures are things that I found this week at GW.














I went to the Estate Dispersal Store this morning and found some more stuff but didn't get pictures. Got a shelf, pewter salt & pepper shakers, and old gravy spoon/ladle for my spoon rack, 4 vintage aprons, a couple of old patterns, (Barbie doll clothes and an old apron one), and the big purchase of the day was a sewing machine with cabinet. It's old but not as old as Kim's. This place is only open once a month so it takes awhile to go through everything.

I did my first stitchery this past week and listed it on Etsy today. It is a Primitive Sunflower Harvest Candle mat and the design is by Rhonda Bowers of Primitive Stitches. I enjoyed doing it so I'll probably do more.


Ok, well that's it for me today. It has still been hot here but we are supposed to have a cold front move in over the weekend so it will cool us down some. The 80's they are saying...lol! Everyone have a wonderful weekend!! We will be babysitting my hubby's grandson.

New etsy listing and the cat days of summer!

Good Wednesday afternoon all!! Hope your week is going well!

I just listed these pumpkins on etsy. They are a design by Becky over at Tennessee Ridge Primitives. She has a whole bunch of neat patterns!



Look at this lazy fat cat!!


That's pretty much it for me. I am in the middle of about 5 re-do's so hopefully I will have pictures for you by the end of the week or the first of next week.

Have a good one!!
