Look What I DiD!!!!!

Hi my Prims,

I wanted to share this with you. I went to a yard sale and I found this:

Here is the top of it:

What I did with this is I turn it into a trash can. Of course I painted it and I love the look. Now, I have a prim trash can!~~ Here it is:

I just love it! I think I did pretty well at the yard sale!!!

I am a staff member on The Primitive Pantry and we had a fun swap. It was a secret pal swap. Here is some of the things I got and I have to show you more, Marla was my SP, we got to find out who they were when we posted our pictures. Check out this beautfiul dress........

Isn't this the sweetest dress you have ever seen!! I hung it up right away! Here is something eles Marla sent me....

See it I hung it up right away, I love it says buttery 1893, with a wooden spoon and sweet annie, I also added another spoon on the other side and up it went!
Marla you really knew what I loved and thank you so much!!!

I want to say again, love each other and enjoy your family!!!

This was a short post!
Till next time my Prims,
Prim Blessings,

Fall is in the air!!!

Hi my prims I just wanted to again thank you so much for all the beautiful cards you sent to Ken and us and praying for Ken, he is doing better but has a way to go!

I wanted to give a BIG shout out to Karen, I bought a penny rug from her and it is  a snowman on each side and then she put round circles that look like pennies coming down from heaven. Why I bought this is because my grandmother passed away many, many years ago and I was extremely close to her, and Mr. Hillcrest, the boys and I made a big jar and we wrote pennies from heaven from Grandma. So everytime we find a penny I or whoever picks it up says that's from Grandma!!! Then we put it in the jug!!!!

So here is the penny rug that I orderd and I love so much because Karen said after I told her the story when she was making it she was thinking about my grandmother and I.

 This is so beautiful , Karen does an amazing job!!!!!
Here is a link to go over and check out her wonderful work, you won't be dissappointed! http://www.kmprimitives.com/

Here is something else Karen put in my package that I DIDN'T order!!!! Check this out a candle hugger, it's Mr. Pumpkin and I love him!

Then I got a package in the mail and the return address said Sarah Post. I said WOO HOOO, I opened it up and it was packaged so nicely and it had a note in it, it was from my friend Karen!!!
Sarah makes theses bowls fillers that are just great, I was so excited. Karen THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

Doesn't Sarah make the package so prim she does great work, look how I displayed them!!!

There are leaves, pumpkins, acrons and are all in all different shapes, sizes

and colors!

I just love them and that was very thoughtful of Karen to send me something that I had NO idea I was getting.

Sarah is a sweet gal and does such a great job, her return address is a picture of a candle with the bowl fillers and then the way she packages the  bowl fillers, you can tell she does it with love! So, if you would like to go check out the things Sarah makes here is the link http://allroadsleadhome-deeb5.blogspot.com/2010/09/just-in-time-for-falldelivered-right-to.html

I wanted to show you girls what I did with that huge prim basket I bought,

I put a cheese box and prim doll inside, I am going to keep it there for now, I might change my mind.

So my friends that is all for today. I hope you all have a great weekend with you family and love them and give them lots of hugs and kisses!

Till next time my Prims

Blessings,

Tricia

This is an old 1800 wheelchair and how I know this is because a gentleam came over and told me.

Here are some old buggies.

Here is my treasures that I bought, my firkin, a wooden candle stick but when I got home I didn't use that candle. I will show you what I used, And I bought  a cutting board!

I did so well.

This is a huge old basket that I bought before Mr. Hillcrest went into the hospital but just didn't have the time to post it. I also bought that towel I just love the colors in it.

Here is a picture if my two firkins together.

Here is another view.

Here is my cutting board. I wanted to hide the cord and plug so here is the before picture

Here is the after picture.

Like everyone says now you see it, now you don't.

Again I had to rearrange a few things.You buy a few things and the whole house has to get changed, LOL.

Another picture of some things I changed.

Another one.

So here are some displays of fall in our home and my gourds that I love. ENJOY!!!

You don't have to overdue it. To make it just right!

I put this coverlet over the stair railing.

I am still trying to figure out how to hide this cord.

You all know I love my quilts and I have bought more I just have to find a home for them.

The fall pillow you see I did make and I love it!!!

Some quilts and gourds.

Her is the wooden candle holder and my friend Lori sent me 2 smaller prim battery operated ones and it looks so good in my candle holder that I bought.

Lori and her husband Joe are coming down the after my surgery that I am having and I am so excited, We have it all mapped out and Lori is going to see all the shops decorated for Christmas!!!! I also know that she is going to go on a shopping spree!!! We are going to have a ball, I know we are because we talk on the phone all the time. If some of you gals don't know who Lori is it is Blackcrow, her home NEEDS to be in CS for sure!!!!!!!! Okay, I think that is enough for know, again keep praying for Mr.Hillcrest and thank you all for your prayers and cards.
