Prim-Inspiration!

This is one of my favorite "inspiration" primitive shops.......ever!
It's called: "North Shore Primitives" and is located in Washington Courthouse, OH.
You just would not believe the variety of prim goodies behind these doors!
I believe she has nearly everything!
Pay a visit when you can.....you won't be sorry!
I believe the building was originally a feed mill....
Wow! What great "bones" it has for a prim shop!
The big long counter that greets you as you enter, the wonderful worn patina of the creaking wood floors, just the way it's all put together!
There's even a stagecoach upstairs in like a loft-style place!


(Below) This is the shop owner, Vickie....she is such a sweet lady......they were about to close up for the day when we came by there(on our second trip)and I wanted to show DD the inside so badly......it would be a long time before we'd get to stop in again to show her.....alot of miles too.....
When we arrived, I asked the lady by the counter, if she were the owner and she said "no" that "She was upstairs"....
So.....I (like I was on some mission) just proceeded to find her to explain my request and how far we'd driven and that we were heading home and if we could quickly show DD through her lovely shop.....
She was so very sweet when I told her that we (DH & I) had been there once before and I was so inspired and amazed at her shop....I just had to show my DD too.....
She thanked me for saying what I did and gave me a hug!
She said that's just what she needed to hear that day!
Thank YOU Vickie! You and your wonderful shop are truly an inspiration to me!
I really, really appreciate you giving us permission to show our DD around!
She really enjoyed it....and finally got to see what her momma had been going on and on about! :)

I would have dearly loved to have taken more pictures to have shown you.....but I didn't feel that she was comfortable with that.....she did however say that it was perfectly fine to take these.....(below)

This is one of the very first things that caught my attention.......It's painted on the floor as you enter her shop....I really notice stuff like that.....It means alot to see His Word in someone's home & business place....

Then.....as you walk up a really narrow staircase and get to the top......this is what is painted on the upstairs floor.....It spoke VOLUMES to me when I saw it and honestly moved me to tears!!

I had found a super sweet girl (petite lil' lady really) named Jamie that works there the first time we visited....and just started talking with her....I thought at first that she was the shop owner.....she was really precious to talk to.....I don't know why I did it.....but just the magnitude of this beautiful shop,the thankfulness I have for the Lord blessing me with a lil' shop and the desires of my heart for our business to really do well.....just moved me to tears right in front of her!! I really felt "goofey" showing a perfect stranger those emotions....I'm not a crier.....but it just seemed to come out of nowhere! She was so kind and so funny and just made the visit so much more pleasurable! That gal deserves a raise!!! LOL!!

I came home and looked this verse up in the Bible....

This is the way it's worded in the version that I read......

"Sow to yourselves in righteousness,reap in mercy;break up your fallow ground: for

it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you." Hosea 10:12

Hope each of you have a wonderful day!

Take care,
