~*~ HaPpY HaLLoWeEn! ~*~

As I'm busy sewing away on winter goodes for our upcoming show & "Christmas in the Country" at the shop, I wanted to still make sure to wish everyone a safe & Happy Halloween!!

My sweet kitty Hummy (named so as he hums instead of meows) loved this hay bale on the shop porch this season...this was shortly after his first birthday.....sadly, he has been missing for a week ~ and we're afraid coyotes or a bobcat have gotten him....i'm still praying though that he comes home...

BaT CaT!

Not a lot to post ~ or time to post, I guess I should say ~ these days as I'm feverishly working to get my winter handmades done! I have a 12 day show in November (this year it's 13 days) and our 7th annual Christmas in the Country Open House will be the weekend after we get done with this show! Yikes!

BUT since it's not even Halloween yet, I didn't want to get into all winter here, sooo in keeping with fall, here's a sweet pic of my kitty Boogie ~ aka Bat Cat! LoL
Hope it brings a smile to you today!

Country Living follow-ups!

For those who have asked

"Have you heard anything from Country Living?"

The answer is YES!!

As many of you know, I'm sure, Country Living now has a wonderful bedding & home line in Sears & KMart (if this is news to you, GO CHECK IT OUT!)...

So what does this have to do with us???

We were asked to build displays for their NY showroom! We constructed them from reclaimed oak & did a wonderful rubbed finish to them (hard to see in the pics). David did a wonderful job of construction (I helped with the finish & of course, supervisor! LoL)

Below are a few pics of them all set up in the showroom with some of the new Country Living items!

A Wonderful Weekend!!

First & foremost, I want to thank all of our wonderful customers who came out to visit this weekend for our Harvest Gathering!! What an amazing turnout & the BEST customers in the world!! We appreciate & thank each & every one of you!!

NOW, for those of you who couldn't make it out, here's just a FEW pics of what you missed!
