I hate to sound like a broken record...record.....record....record.....
O.k. 'nuff of that.....lol!
But we have been soooooo busy!
I have an Open House coming up in 6 days and the shop looks like an episode of Clean House.....minus the nasty kitchen and bathroom..... :)
Anyhow, I worked from about 7:00 yesterday morning til about 9:00 lastnight in the wood shop. Today, DH and I stayed in there all day.....our wonderful neighbor came over and helped DH with some of the furniture building......I set a goal to complete three pieces today and PTL I did!!! Here is the sideboard/buffet that I finished first.....this picture DOES NOT do justice to this piece.....it really, really looks old!!!
I am going to do a little rearranging of the light placement to see if I can get truer looking pics.....
I also was able to finish a bucket bench in a beautiful deep red and a settle bench in black.....those pics will follow in a few days as I get the shop put back together and decorated.....
We did a two day primitives show last week and did very well.
The open house is coming up soon.....then we'll have another show at a Shaker Museum in two weeks!
It has recently occured to me that I haven't even started any Christmas shopping!!
Oh my goodness! I really can't believe how fast this year has gone by!!!
I am really looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with my loved ones!
I think as every year that passes, that time is much more meaningful and special.
I can hardly wait to taste my moma's turkey and dressing, the creamy mashed potatoes & gravy, sweet potatoes with marsmallows melted on top with pecans, my sister's pumpkin pie, watch my daddy carve the turkey at the kitchen table, being sure to take out the wishbone to lay aside for a couple of the grandkids to pull apart to see who gets the longer piece.....where'd that tradition come from anyhow???
I am making myself hungry just thinking about all the yummy food!!!
I sure hope each of you has a wonderful Thanksgiving with all your family and friends!
Wishing you this a bit early, I know......but afraid I'll get too busy and forget to mention it later!!!
Til I'm back again!
