Uses for Old Ladders

How do you use your old ladder find?  I have had this ladder since I built my house in 1999.  

Head on over to Funky Junk Link Party - Ladders to see how others are using their great ladder finds.

Winter Gatherings

Winter Gatherings everyone!  I have been so busy during the holiday season that I didn't even have time to blog.  I am hoping everything slows up a bit so I can grab a breath and give some updates. 

I have been working on personalized ornaments and listing lots of items on eBay at Rustic Goods and Company.  I have been selling extras that were left from the shop since it has been closed.  I really miss my primitive shop, so I am hoping within a couple of years we can get built out here on our property in the country.

Grab a Personalized Snowman Ornament for Valentines Day...this would be great for your Winter Sweetheart!  Order one on eBay at Rustic Goods and Company

HALLOWEEN PUMPKIN SAYINGS for magnet, pins or pokes

I think I am having way too much fun this Fall.  I have been painting a lot and have so much I want to share with you.  These little Halloween Pumpkin Sayings would be so cute made into magnets, pins or wire added for pokes.  Wouldn't they be so cute with a wire to poke into tiny pumpkins or a tiny potted mum.  I think these tiny little signs would be so cute poked into pumpkins on a dessert or party table...for a whimsical Halloween touch to any gathering.  They would also be so cute with a magnet or pin and added to treat bags for friends, office exchange or a special teacher. 

Just wanted to share this little idea with you...I am adding them now online so check them out at Rustic Goods and Company on eBay

SPOOKY HALLOWEEN PUMPKIN POKES

Spooky Halloween pokes are now on listed on my eBay.  I have had so much fun listing things on there is Fall.  I guess because I have had more time to make things to add to the items I had from my shop.  I currently am selling items on eBay because my shop is closed due to the sale of a business and building....so now I am waiting to get things going to have my own shop here on my property in Southern Indiana. 

I really miss decorating the shop for the holidays and seasons.  So this is a way I can keep the feeling going and keep some of my followers up to date with my happenings.  I promise to have more posts and pictures of new Great Finds and primitive items listed on eBay.

Finally....A Post

I know....Where have I been?  I am getting back into the blogging mode again to keep in touch with you.  I am preparing to start selling some items from the shop on eBay.  I have started listing some Fall items and will begin listing some Personalized Ornaments soon. So check out some of my items on ebay at Rustic Goods and Company.

Tis The Season?

Christmas is right around the corner....and I have begun to list some primitive boxed cards on eBay.  I know I have been missing in action, but I have been very busy working at my main job.  We closed the shop at the beginning of Summer because my niece moved her Curves business and there wasn't enough room for Rustic Goods & Company.  I think I am going to spend some time make some hand mades and enjoy listing things from the shop on eBay.

I will be listing lots of handmade ornaments, Fall items, snowman and so much more!  I have some twig wreaths, stars and vine garlands. I am also getting ready to list my ever popular personalized ornaments.

Please check back here and eBay for more new things added daily and weekly!

Decked Out with Hearts

The shop is looking so whimsical with all the hearts and raggedys greeting customers as they enter the front door.  I just love this primitive Heart Wreath....love how the pink shade comes through the deep red on each heart.  The jumpy twig wreath gives it that happy whimsical Valentines touch.  I had so much fun making this wreath and need to make more for my selling blog that will be opening soon.  Although I love snowmen, I absolutely love the feel of Valentines time of the year.  It has to be my favorite since I can mix snowmen and hearts in the shop!

I also made some Valentine Heart Wreaths with some plain grapevines.  I tied some coffee stained lace with some old rick rack I found at an old sale and used some cotton printed ribbon.  I just love how simple they are and would just brighten up any entryway or bench. 
Rustic Goods also has some heart shaped rusty electric lanterns and rusty hangers...they would look great hanging in an entryway over an old bench that has been decked out with seasonal items.  What a great way to welcome guests and show your primitive style.

 The shop has several styles of Valentine's Day cards available....I love this Be Mine card.  A primitive card with a handmade heart would be a perfect gift for that special primitive friend. The shop has a special right now....buy one greeting card and get one free.  Be sure to stop by and grab a Valentine's card and pick up an extra for another day.

Nothing beats the look of an old primitive bag holding some wonderful smelling Sweet Annie.  There are so many things to do with one of these primitive bags and that lovely green color of the Sweet Annie....hanging on an old cupboard door, peg on an old shelf and maybe hanging on an old child size ironing board like this one. 

There is something about raggedys that just go along with Valentines and hearts....not sure what it is...but just love the look!
