Made my monthly trip to the Estate Store and this is what I got! That Wingback chair was only $30.00! The chippy Washstand was $45.00. I'm loving that old Sampler, that was $16.00. I should do some research on that name. Yeah, some day..lol! Also a big old bag of buttons and a bag of all kinds of colors of fabric napkins. I'll coffee stain those....yeah, some day...lol! Edited to add that the picture of the chair really turned out horrible. The chair is not that dirty looking and there are no rips or tears on it!
Have any of you been to Gordman's lately?? (Angie, that's for you...lol) Yes, I know, made in China or somewhere over there but still prim looking stuff. This is what I came home with.
And then a trip was also made to my new fav little prim store, The Whistle Stop. Didn't get much this time though...yeah, some day...lol!
The following pictures of what I have created lately. The cross stitch designs are Jenny Hoffman's of Country Rustic Primitives design and the candlemat is a design by Chestnut Junction.
Ok, that's it for pictures. Other things that have been going on is that I was sick for almost a week! I was down for the count. Not good at all!! The other is that my Uncle passed away. Sad time. I loved him so! But he is with his wife, son, and his siblings (my dad) now. I so love his kids also, we get along very well. Another sad thing about his death is that the family name (Goldberg) is now done. My Uncle had a son that was killed in '77 in an auto accident and my dad (now passed 13 yrs ago yesterday) had all daughter's.
Oh, and some good news here....my bestest bought a house, all on her own. I'm so proud of her. Hopefully her closing date will be by the end of the month. Wow, it is September isn't it? It's chilly here today, by my standards anyway. AND I have also painted my bedroom!! Shocker I know! Not totally done though. I have to redo the trim because the paint that I got, is almost the same color as the walls! Not what I wanted. I also need to get the windows done too...yeah, some day...lol!
Hope you all have a wonderful and safe Labor Day Weekend!!

Brenda,
You always find the greatest things when you go junkin'. I love the wash stand. I'm always afraid to bring home upholstered furniture, especially now with the bed bug epidemic.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
Great buy on the washstand! I love your stitcheries too! You didn't seem like you felt that good when you were in the "SToP". I hope you are feeling better! I have ended up with an abscessed tooth... one that had already had a root canal. I have been off 4 days of the "day" job and falling way behind for the open house coming up next week. Oh, well have to deal with what life dishes out. Thanks for coming by... let's hope we both stay well... 'tis the craftin' season coming soon!

Hi, you are the winner of our 2nd give-away. Please email me your address and I'll get your pennyrug and other stuff out to you. craftystitchers@yahoo.com Thank you for joining.
Sorry to hear about your sickness and your uncle passing away. That's a lot to bear. Hope you are doing better by now!
I saw where Gordman's had 50% off their clearance recently! I had no money and no time so I didn't make it over there but I was thinking about you! =] Girl, that's the closest thing we have to a prim shop here in Oklahoma. Prim is not popular and no prim shops at all! Love what you got from there!
All those fabric napkins definitely need to be dipped. Haha! There are lots of things you could do with those, how nice. Love the chair and nightstand also.
I adore Jenny's designs! That are wonderfully prim! You did a great job on your stitcheries. Painted your bedroom too?! Girl, I'm jealous of your time! I wish I had 1/10th of your time and energy so I could accomplish something around here. Haha!
