Happy Easter and my New Dry Sink!!!

Hi my Prims I first wanted to say to all of my follower's have a WONDERFUL and BLESSED Easter.
I wanted to share some pictures with you. Mr. Hillcrest and I bought a dry sink last week and it was white. Well, we didn't like the white so we decided to paint it but we crackle painted it. The first step is to put a coat of clear paint over the white and it is called All Cracked Up, made me laugh, LOL,LOL! No seriously that is really the name of the first clear coat paint. The second coat we picked was blue and then we changed the hardware to black and here is the result........Oh,I am still tweaking it. I am changing things up but I wanted this done for Easter day, for our family dinner.

I just love it. Here are a few more pictures. I think it completes the kitchen 100%.

another picture..

I am so happy the way it looks and how it came out. Do you all like the crackle look?? What do you all think?? Thanks for taking a peek!

As most of you read in the last post we are posting items in my shop but we are still working on it. I will let you all know when everything is posted, we thought it would be all done today but it isn't and do to the fact it is Easter weekend we are done for the day!

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter and love one another and maybe give those few extra kisses and hugs to your loved ones.

Till next time
Easter Blessings,

Just a Short Post!

Hi my Prims,
I just wanted to share a few pictures of these beautiful yellow bushes that come up every year. I feel Spring is in the air.

Here is another one.....

Here is what my sons bought me for my Birthday! They both know how much I LOVE flowers and my favorite color is PINK!!!!

A closer look....

I love you guys, I am so proud to be your Mother!!!!

In another post I posted about a new piece of red ware that I bought and here is where my new red ware piece went....

Here is the whole look...

Hubby will be making me a colonial shelf for more red ware that I am hunting for.

I would love one that says Christmas Blessings, one Giving Thanks(for the fall)

 and a few more that I have in mind.

Here is a sneak peek of what is to come in our shop.

COVERLETS, TABLE THROWS, PILLOWS and TABLE RUNNERS!

With the table runners I noticed alot of people display them on wooden ladders even blanket cranes, just not for tables anymore!

You will also be seeing alot of colonial tin ware lighting,which is just breath taking.

Then you will see different styles of penny rugs and MUCH,MUCH MORE!!!

Here is our bed made up with a few of  these beautiful items and of course we have diffrent colors, to offer. Remember this was a sneak peek!!!
We should have eveything posted in our shop by the end of the weekend, the shop is on the right side on my blog it is the house. Just click it and it will bring you right there. It is Easter weekend so we are only going to do as much as we can Saturday because Sunday is Easter and it is also family time. Make sure you check back often do to the fact that these items move fast.
Til next time my prims,
Be kind to each other,

Just a Fun Post

Hi my Prims,
Well April 1st came with 6 inches of snow and I took some of these pictures and I hope these will be that LAST pictures of SNOW I take. I do have to say it did melt fast.....thank goodness!

This picture is in our yard. I was driving Matthew to school and thank you Mr. Hillcrest for buying me my 4 wheel drive!

This picture is going down our street! I hope this is the last of the snow we will be getting!

Well, my Birthday is coming up...April 15 and I will be 24 years old, ONLY kidding. I will be 43 years old. So our oldest was home for the weekend but with friends,and our youngest was having a sleepover at his friends house. Mr. Hillcrest said come on let's go take a ride. So of course I was thinking prim/colonial shops here we come, WRONG. MY WODERFUL MIL that is not with us anymore always bought me a Vera Bradley purse for my Birthday and she and I ALWAYS bought the same one and she would say we are twins. Well, Mr. Hillcrest kept that tradition going bless his heart. I said it isn't my Birthday yet and he said so what I want to take my beautiful wife out and I want you to get the purse, wallet and make-up bag to match! First I have to say BEAUTIFUL........my Hubby needs to wear his glasses not just for reading , LOL, LOL! I could be green with stripes and my Hubby would say I am BEAUTIFUL. He is a great man.
Here is what I picked out....

my wallet.....

My make-up bag.
I love pink and alot of you already know that pink is my FAVORITE color.
Then we came home and did some things around the house and Hubby said come on we are taking a ride.....WHAT?WHERE?

Hubby took me out for mexican food, YUMMY!

The nacho's are YUMMO!

This salsa is SO HOT that you sweat, I DON'T have that but Mr. Hillcrest does. The HOTTER the BETTER for him I don't know how you can enjoy your food when your mouth and throat are burning, LOL, it is NOT for me!. I get heartburn after I eat there and I have mild mexican food, so thank goodness for tums!!!!!!!

This is what I got and you get hot wraps and make your own sft taco wrap, YUMMY! Shrimp, YUMMY for my TUMMY!!!!!

Then I asked could I wear that hat, I bring my camrea EVERYWHERE so Hubby took a picture of me with the hat.....

I didn't like the picture but what the hay!!!!

Here is my HANDSOME Hubby.......

We had a great time. We are always together and Hubby will say this is how it will be when our sons graduate College and they are on their own, with their own families. He is truly my Best Friend and Soul Mate!
I love you Mr. Hillcrest! XOXOX

Now I did make a peach cobbler here are a few pictures and it was a hit.

The next picture is when it came out of the oven and it was so good and it made the house smell soooo good.

Well, that is it for now. It was just a fun and laid back, easy going post!
On my side bar you will see York is having a FUN giveaway. Click onto the Primitive Bear and it will take you to her blog and it is a FUN contest. You have to name the Primitive bear! So, go on over and join in!!!!!!

Out with Great Friends & Food, and Some Displays

Hi My Prim,
Well, as I sit here Mr.Hillcrest just came in and he smells the yummy dinner I made. A new chicken recipe,sweet potatoe cassrole, fresh green beans and homemade honey wheat bread, YUMMO!

So I wanted to share with you all,I went out with some great friends that live right here in town and we are starting a quilting group get together. I am VERY EXCITED about that! Well they asked me last week if I would like to go out for a get together and talk about, well you guessed it, prim, colonial and quilts that we plan on making.So, I said YES, I will be there!

So, here we are. We went for Chinese food and it was SOOOO GOOD!

Here we are and Sue my very great friend that is standing next to me. Sue made me a beautiful quilt all in different color pinks because that is my favorite color. It was an after surgery and Christmas gift in one. Sue is a sweetie and a very good friend!

Here we are a CRAZY bunch of girls!!! We sure did have a great time together. We are going to do this once a month if we can!

Here is another basket I out on my other door,but I can't believe this but they are saying 4 to 7 inches of SNOW and I am putting up my baskets and flower's!!!!!

Here is my flag!!!!

The basket you see on my half bathroom is a basket I made with my Grandmother. I even have a picture of me sitting at a table and making this basket, my Grandmother took the picture and she is the one who taught me how to make this basket.
Here is a closer look, the blue in the middle as faded with the years but not my memories of my Grandmother and I making this beautiful, pricless basket.

Here is what I have on my kitchen table, but alot of you know me well enough that I am ALWAYS changing things or re-painting things so by the time comes for Easter it might be different.

A close up with a Chocolate bunny made from wax and prim carrots, with straw twig like hay...

Here are a few more Spring things I put out...

I bought both of thses things you see. I think they scream, PLEASE SPRING COME!!!!!

I am NOT sure about this. I know I need something inside the crate but not to sure on what yet, however I am sure it will come to me. Also, I am NOT sure if I like it there. We will see.

A few things I added not to sure on this either, only time will tell.

 This last picture is of the Ladle Scone that I am selling it is in my last post. Well, here is a picture of it..

Not the best picture but if you know what they are yu know what you are looking at.

My tin light that I just love and the last picture is of my office...

Okay girls that is it for tonight, I have to go get Mr. Hillcrest's dinner and spend time with my Hubby!
I hope you all stay safe and warm.

Til next time be kind to one another.
Prim Blessings,
