Christmas At Shakertown













Hey Blog Pals!!
Ahhhhh.....do you know what that means?
I've FINALLY had a few moments to slow down and rest a bit!!
We have been so busy for weeks! I honestly do not know how time flies by so quickly! ??
Would anyone care to share with me how that happens??! LOL!!
I'm a wee-bit glad to have a little free time to catch up on my blog and other things....even had time to get my hair cut today, MAILED MY CHRISTMAS CARDS TEN WHOLE DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!!....went in a second hand shop and bought a really nice sized artificial pine wreath for $6.00...and sat in my truck and had a delicious made to order dressed cheeseburger, tater tots and an RC for lunch....IT WAS REALLY NICE!!
You know you're in the south when you can have a good ol' RC!
Plus, lastnight I had a phone call from a sweet 82 year old lady wanting to buy one of our candles from the new Candleberry line we carry....I delivered it to her and sold 4 others while I was running errands! They are terrific candles people!
If you want to try one....the 10oz. size is $12.99 plus shipping....I feel really strongly that you would not be disappointed....at least I hope you wouldn't be....I've sold ALOT in the last three months and I meet people nearly every day that has purchased one from us and I ask them how they liked the candle "Oh, I just love it"!! Is the response I get EVERY time!!
Please e-mail me at backwoods.primitives@gmail.com if you think you'd like to try one...I'll help to recommend you a scent based on your nose's preference.....tee hee....
They all smell soooo good and burn nice and even!!!
Well...as you can tell by the title.....these pictures are of one of the most recent craft shows we did...
Had a nice time....and did well....PTL!.....but that flight of stairs....and carrying the big pieces of furniture, tons of small wood things and the storage totes full of other merchandise all the way up them.....whew! That was mean...I'm tellin' ya!
I'm so incredibly thankful for our two kids!! They helped us carry all the big stuff up and then back down when it was time to pack up....what a blessing they are!
I thank God for our kid's and I'm so very proud of the young adults they are becoming!
We did have a good day at this show....and made ALOT of new contacts!
I'm very thankful for them!
New contacts means the potential for new customers!
The Lord has truly, truly blessed our business and our customer base is expanding!! Yippee!
I'm in the process of updating my Picturetrail site and Selling Blog..... so stay tuned for more pictures!!!
The link's are at the top right portion of this blog!!!
I certainly hope everyone is doing well and getting ready for Christmas.....
Is your shopping finished? Mine isn't yet.....but I hope it will be after Thursday....that's our 21st anniversary and we usually go out to eat and do some Christmas shopping....I'm hoping it's crisp and cold with some snow in the air!!
I just love to be out when the weather is like that!
Now, I don't mean blizzard....just some big ol' flakes of snow flyin' around!
I sure don't want it to make things difficult or dangerous for folks..... just want to see it snow!
Hopefully, soon I plan to take the time to get to different blog's to leave a comment.....it may take me awhile...but I hope to make the loop and stop by to visit....
Have a good evening!

Hi!
I would like to place an order,
send me some KY snow for Christmas!
I miss having snow, I used to have
a "White Christmas" when I grew up
in MI, but since I have been in the
South, I just don't get much of it!
Love your pictures, wish I could
come to one of your shows! Thanks
for the nice e-mail!

Hi BWP,
The pictures from your show look great! Oh how I wish we lived closer! Your kids are truly a blessing. They are such hard working responsible young people. You don't see that often enough these days! Hope you have a Happy 21st Anniversary and you see some flakes too! Merry Christmas my friend! Hugs, Loretta

Oh my goodness.....I didn't realize that you had to set up on the second floor. I would have died!
Those stair cases seem like 2 times the the size of a regular one, don't you think? Your displays look wonderful.

Your show pictures are so awesome!
I'm with Linda! I would've died lugging that furniture up those stairs!
Bless those wonderful kids!
It's funny you mentioned candles cause we're driving over to Ind. to the Warm Glo Candle outlet. I love that place! hehehe!
I'm so happy for you guys that your business is doing so well. I'm going to make it down there one of these days!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Show pics look great! I hope that maybe one of these days, you'll venture down here closer to my neck of the woods so I can attend and finally get to meet you!
I can't even iamgine lugging all that up stairs! Whew! With my back & knees I know I would have never made it. So glad that you had excellent helpers.
Early Happy Anniversary! Have a great time Christmas shopping. I'd love to see some snow too, but not the dangerous kind.
If you don't make it back on here again before, have a great Christmas!

Show pictures are great!! I remember doing a show at a school that we had to go up lots of stairs. No fun!! So happy for you that the business is doing well. Hope you have another great year in 2010!!
