Happy Fall Y'all !

We've been busy at the shop working on new metal designs... love the new truck wreath!

new weathervanes, I don't know which is my favorite- but I love the goat...

and the cow!

we did the Rustapalooza Vintage Market at the fairgrounds last weekend, here's a picture of our booth as we were setting it up...

Summer Hours

Through the summer (July and August) the Farmhouse will be closed on Sunday. We will be open our normal hours on Saturday 11:00-5:00, hope to see you then!

Almost Home

As the old saying goes-- close but no cigar!  Hoping Uncle Walter would be released today- but we are still here in the Gainesville VA Hospital.  He is on the mend and we should be on the way home sometime this weekend.  I had to bribe him with a cherry sprite from Steak-N-Shake to hang out here for just a little longer!  So-- the farmhouse will be closed again this weekend and we will be back to regular hours next weekend- hope to see you then!

(luckily I brought the stamp album)

Attention!

Due to family illness the farmhouse will be closed this weekend, Saturday 5/21 and Sunday 5/22--- we should be back to our normal hours next weekend- see you then!

Wool Sign

Have you any wool?  We'll I've got tons of it, and I love anything with  sheep on it!  This is one of our new bracket signs-it's made from heavy gauge metal with a wonderful rusty finish, it's double sided so you can see it coming or going!  This is a big sign and would look great on your porch or inside, the wool sign is offset and hangs from old fence pieces.  This is an original design and hand-made right here at the farmhouse- I love it when an idea comes out just like you picture it!

Christmas at the Farmhouse

Be sure to visit our facebook page-- lots more pictures!

Christmas at the Farmhouse

The elves have been busy!  I love the metal Clay has been cutting, and this is one of my favorites

and there are horses and deer...

and lots of new signs --

and the most wonderful candles from 1803 Candle Company, you'll want one of each!

 

Santa has already picked his favorite scent

 

and I love the big Santa and Frosty heads, they are made from thick cedar and smell really good too!

 

 

... and to all a good night!

 

The smell of fall...

Time for the pumpkin pie fixins, they smell so good!

Old Buttons...

I had a relaxing day listening to the rain on the roof and sorting through a big bowl of buttons, picking out the old white one's to go in the bins of our counter.  It is getting a much needed make-over.

here's a little peek of the counter, I am trying to find some antique hinges

 

Black-eyed Susans and Purple Cones are popping their sweet little heads up everywhere!  They did enjoy the gentle rain today

 

Tonight I am starting a new sampler by Stacy Nash, wish me luck, I have a hard time finishing a bigger piece before I start something new!

 

Don't forget to like us on facebook too, I usually post more shop photos on there.  I'm off to find my super powered reading glasses!

Quilts

Mama loved old quilts and buttons, she would look through an old jar full of buttons for hours picking out her favorites to use on a project.  Here are a few of my favorite quilts in the shop-

 

Happy February!

We just got in this wonderful toweling fabric.  I have tons of ideas for this stuff or it is pretty just like it is.  It's 16" wide and we have red, chocolate brown and caramel tan.

Also, we are now carrying punchneedle patterns and weavers cloth, along with some beautiful Valdani threads.

It's time to start on the Easter Bunnies now!

Look at this pretty new fabric we got in last week

We also finished some really pretty signs, these aren't the best pictures but I will try to get some better ones this week-- I am not the best with the camera!  These came out really nice and some of them have a multi-layer aged finish.

Changing hours for the Winter

Just a note to let you know we are changing our hours for the winter.  Saturday 11:00 am to 4:00 pm and Sunday 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm

What a wonderful Christmas Open House we had

Thanks so much to everyone who was able to come yesterday and today- we were so busy all day!  By the time I got a few pictures, so much was already gone

I loved making these signs, which is a good thing since I need to make more

we got in some new candle scents this week- Nutmeg and Chutney is my favorite and Orange Clove smells so good for Christmas time

 

 Santa bear and his candy cane, and those are our new candle boxes perfect for greens and a grubby candle.  And the cutest little cross stitch

 I love the new farm table Clay made.  It's 6' long and has a distressed pine top, the legs are beautiful

 

 

 

 This is the cutest gingerman my friend Gloria made for me.  Gloria, Vicky, and Heather have Olde Green Cupboard Designs and they are 3 very talented ladies- they design fabric and patterns and Heather makes the most adorable mohair critters you have ever seen. Gloria has the gingers for sale on her site http://www.oldegreencupboard.com/ - order one before they all run away!

 

  This stocking is made from wool and has a little snowman cross stitch

 

This is my favorite bench, it is much darker in person- the flash on my camera made everything look brighter than it is
