Slowly but Surely.....

Hello everyone~~I finally decided that it was time to do a little work on my blog!! I really haven't changed much since I started it a few years back. So,,,, I decided today was the day.... but then I discovered that a lot has changed!! I could not get it to work using my aol or internet explorer. I guess my laptop is getting old like me! :) So, I finally figured out what I needed to download to get back on track. This ended up being a lot more than I had planned, so I will work on it slowly, here & there to get things the way I want them. I am working on another Christmas order, and trying to get things stashed away for the Simple Goods Show in Nov., so please bear with me as I work this all out. In the end, I hope you will like it. Blessings to all~~Jackie

Simple Goods Show & New Update

Hello everyone!! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter!! We sure did!! We decided to go out to eat since I was just too tired to cook a big meal. Well, the show was awesome as usual!! So many wonderful things. I am only going to post 1 picture of our booth for now...I'm just too tired to do more. I wanted to take pictures of the other booths, but my batteries died on me, but Angie Sutter & others were taking lots of them, so there will be plenty to see!! Angie is just such a sweetheart! I also listed some things we had left from the show, so if you want to stop over and take a peak, please do! Well, that's all for now~ Blessings to all~~Jackie

Simple Goods Show

Well, it's time to finish up a few last mintute things & then start packing up for the show!! I'm hoping to get an early start tomorrow so we have more time to look around & talk to people. It's always such a busy time getting all set up. I am looking forward to seeing everyone again. I will try to get lots of pictures & post them sometime next week. I hope to see some of you there, but if you can't make it, I hope you have a Blessed Easter week end!! ~Jackie

Simple Goods Show

Well, we are back from the show, & we had a wonderful time!! Max & Candy did such a wonderful job once again!! It was simply the best, and they are just the sweetest ladies ever!! Thanks so much to them for all of their hard work!! I posted some pics. on our Picture Trail, & also added a few things that we had left from the show, so please stop over & take a look when you get a chance! Blessing to all~~Jackie

Just a little peek~~

Well, I am not getting very good pictures again today...it is just too gloomy outside, but here are 2 peeks at some new items that I'll have at the Simple Goods show this week end. I hope some of you can make it!! For those of you who can't, I'll post lots of pics following the show. Blessings~Jackie

~Simple Goods Show~

Well, the show is over and we had such a great time!! Max and Candy sure do know how to put on an awesome show!! They are such sweet and wonderful gals!! We only managed to get a couple of shots of our booth, and sadly none of the others, but I can tell you that they were all absolutely wonderful!! Perfectly Primitive!! I got to meet a couple new gals from the show only briefly as everyone was so busy with set ups, customers & then breaking everything down again but I did get to put some faces with names ~Susan of "Bittersweet Susan", Donna of "Crickets in the Corn" Faye & Twigs from Mercantile Gatherings, We even got to see some old friends from Wisconsin, and lots of on-line customers!! It was so nice to see my customers in person. What a great bunch of people. Even though it was a bit chilly on the porch, I'd do it again in a heartbeat!! If you have never been to this show, you have no idea what you are missing! Thank you Max & Candy for making this such a wonderful week end for us!!

The Show's Almost Here!!!

Well, today has been very busy, and we will be working well into the night to get everything packed up & ready to head to Mt. Vernon tomorrow!! We haven't done a show in a couple of years, and I had forgotten how much work is involved. Now, we just have to keep praying that the weather will turn out better than they are forecasting!! Well, my break time has just about run out, but I promise to post pictures of our booth & tell you all about the show on Monday. We are going to have a room with a hot tub in it & relax all week end!! Blessings~~Jackie

~~Sneak Preview~~

Here are a couple of peaks at some of the things I've been working on for the Simple Goods show on Nov. 8th. Hope to see you there!! Blessings~Jackie

Working Hard

Good morning!! I am working hard getting orders finished and things made for the upcoming show. My fingers are so sore right now, but I am finally seeing some progress being made!! Only 2 more weeks to go!! After the show, I have a couple of orders to get done, and then I am hoping to take some much deserved time off!! I need to get at all of the Fall cleaning before it is Winter!! The dust bunnies are multiplying faster than ever around here. I do have to say that my children and hubby have been wonderful with helping with the everyday things around here, but they just don't do the deep down cleaning that needs to be done! Sooooo....when the show is over, and the orders are all done, I will try to tackle all of those little things that have been adding up around here so that the house will be nice and clean & crisp for my favorite time of the year...the Christmas Season!! Time to get out the flannel sheets, cranberry candles, pack away the summer clothes, etc. and settle in for the winter. I may even make a thing or 2 for my own house. After about 14 years of making dolls and other things, I only have 2 of my dolls in my house!! I call them Derek & Jackie, and they sit on a chair together holding hands. :) I will try to get some pictures taken soon of some of the things I have been working on and post a couple of Pre-views for you. Until next time, be blessed!! ~~Jackie
