My swap with Amy

Hi all! Hope you are having a great start to the week! It is hot and humid around this area and I know some of you are going through the same thing. So stay hydrated everyone if you are outside!

I'm late in posting this...sorry Amy!!! But that sweet girl and I did a swap and the items she gave me are just fantabulous!
All the pineapple things she made herself. There is a real dried pineapple (Amy said she is never going to do another..lol), a fabric pineapple and beewax pineapples. These smell so good!! I noticed that she has them posted on her blog today and is selling them, be sure to go visit, they are great!!! There is also a very cute little wooden bucket and also an awesome Americana picture.




And then THIS!!! I so love this, I have wanted an item of Karen's for a long time now and I finally have one!! I was so excited over this!! It's a darling little prim bag. I'm not sure if I want to use it though...lol!



And yes of course I can't forget to mention the cracker box. I forgot to take a picture of it, thanks girl! Love ya!!

Has anyone heard from Sue over at Oodlekadoodle Primitives?? I'm worried about her, she hasn't posted now in over 4 weeks.

Ok, that's it for me! Have a great week everyone!! And thanks again so very much Amy!!

A win and a couple of questions for you all~

Wow, 2 posts in one day....AGAIN!!! I'm getting better at this blogging bit.....lol!!

I won a giveaway from Natalie over at Tins and Treasures. I got this wonderful sewing basket and a bunch of surprises when I opened it up! Got some DMC floss, knitting needles, some homspun fabric, sticky felt, paintbrushes. Thank you so very much Natalie...I love it all!!



Did I show you all my little desk that I got at The Whistle Stop Country Store a couple of weeks ago?? I love it but once again, I have no place for it yet.



Ok, my questions pertain to the next 2 pictures. Anyone know what they are? The hooks maybe rug hooking? These 3 things were in a box that my mom had gotten at an auction recently.





Ok, I think that's it for today! Hope the holiday is going well for you all!

Monday

Happy 4th of July everyone! Happy Birthday America!! Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday weekend and please be safe!!

Clouds and a sale!

Good evening all!!

I wanted to post some pictures that I took of these awesome looking clouds after we had a storm come through a couple of nights ago.

















Aren't they just amazing!

Also wanted you all to know that I have reduced all the prices of everything that I have listed on ebay. Pinkeeps, candle mats and ditty bags. I need to start on Fall stuff. Just click on my ebay tag on the right side to take you directly to my ebay.

Thanks!!

Gavins Point Damn and win from Carol!

Happy Sunday all! Hope the day is going good for you!

I just wanted to share with you all the reason why there is so much flooding going on right now in Western Iowa and Eastern Nebraska. There is so much snow melt coming down the Missouri River from Montana so that means that this dam has to release water. And releasing is what it is doing!! Record release. We spent the day here Saturday in South Dakota. The force of this water being released is just unreal.

This was taken driving on the road to get to the damn.














Me...hoping not to get wet from the water spraying out.


Hubby


These 2 pictures were taken from the Lewis and Clark Visitors building up above the dam. Very pretty but not good news.





Also Saturday, I received my givaway win from Carol over at Firecracker Kid Primitives. I totally love it. Her and her hubby Tim make the greatest stuff, excellent workmanship!! She also sent me this great jar with this great primitive label on it. Love it! Thanks so much Carol and Tim!





Have a wonderful week everyone!!

A couple of new Pinkeeps!

Here are a couple of new pinkeeps that I have gotten done. I will leave these on my blog for a couple of days if you wish to purchase, then they will go on ebay.

Treasured Blossoms Friend pinkeep. Design is by Pineberry Lane. This pinkeep measures approx. 6 x 5 and the fabric is darker than it appears in picture. I have also attached a little tiny old looking key to it. It is stuffed with pet bedding (corn cob pellets) and is backed with a vintage colored blue print. I am asking $20.00 for this, free shipping.



Counting Crows pinkeep, designed by Nan Lewis of Threadwork Primitives. Measures approx. 6 1/2 x 4, is stuffed with pet bedding (corn cob pellets) and backed with a goldish colored floral print. The fabric is darker than it appears in the picture. I am asking $18.00 for this one, free shipping.


Ok, that makes 2 posts in one day...lol! Probably won't happen for another year...ha!!

Thanks for looking!!

Secret Friendship swap package arrived!!

Tammy from A Primitive Place hosted a Secret Friendship Envelope Swap recently. We didn't know who had our name and also, everything that you sent to your partner had to fit into a large padded envelope.

Well Mary from Marmmies Mammys and More sent me an envelope full of great stuff! I love it all! Thank you so much Mary!

Look at this yo-yo penny rug mat. The picture doesn't do this justice...it is awesome!


This sweet little Annie doll and a hummer...adorable!! The little tag on the hummer says "Nothing says Summer than seeing a Hummer". I love it!!


These awesome cinnamon rubbed Americana star bowl fillers.


And finally, 2 Yankee Candle tarts in the scent Summer Fresh (smells great), a magnetic weekly panner/to-do list notepad (who doesn't need one of these), and a lovely card!


Thanks again Mary so much! And also thank you to Tammy for hosting yet another great swap!!
