Meeting a Blogging Friend

Just over 2 weeks ago, I made a trip to Oshkosh to meet a blogging friend. Oshkosh is about 45 minutes from my home. I met up there with Marie aka Olde Lady Morgan. She made the 3 1/2 hour trip up to spend some time with her hubby who was working at the EAA Air Show & to do some shopping. I was lucky enough to be her guide for the day. We started out at a prim shop in Ripon called Simpler Times. She had already been there a few days before & found some fabulous goodies. I found some things I would have loved to have, but I'm at the point that if I can't figure out where it will go in my house, it has to stay at the store. So~I behaved & didn't buy anything.

 Marie is such a generous lady. She brought me some wonderful gifties....Don't you just love my pumpkin man??

 She also gifted me with one of her wonderful hand stitched pumpkins. Love his expression!! She also included one of her fabulous pumpkin flatties. I avoided bringing them into the house (they were hanging out in the back of my truck) because I knew I would want to decorate for Fall. And...it's WAY too earlyfor that.

Well last night, they came in for their photo shoot. I have so many things I want to blog about. I figured I better get to it.

Marie & I hit up a couple of antique shops too & went to Primitive Gatherings (wonderful quilt shop) before having to call it a day. Those goodies will show up in another post.

It was a great day. I only wish I had taken a few more pictures.

I'm sure most of you are familiar with Marie & her blog, but if you aren't....click on the link with her name above to visit her. She sells her wonderfully prim goodies & I know you're lovin my goodies from her.

I also wanted to let you know that I love to hear from you. I know I'm not always the best at responding to your comments, but know that I appreciate each & every one.

Off to try to finish up some things before work tonight...so have a good night.

Hugs to you all~Becky

Goodies from The Primitive Pantry Blog

A few weeks back, I was the lucky winner of a giveaway hosted by the lovely ladies of The Primitive Pantry. These are the goodies I received....

Some yummy smelling tarts.

A fabulous prim pineapple....

A prim rusty courting candle holder, prim metal book light, a rusty wire shelf hanger with prim battery candle, and a mini metal hanging holder with prim tea light...

And underneath all these goodies....a fabulous Family Heirloom Weavers table runner.

Can you believe I won all these goodies because the original winner never came forward to claim her prize??

 A huge thank you to Betty and Libby for the fabulous goodies. If you are not familiar with The Prim Pantry blog, make sure to check them out by clicking the link above. You will find lots of wonderful eye candy there.

Stop back again to visit. I still have to tell you about my fun day with Marie aka OLMorgan.

Lots to Share..First up...Swap Goodies

Happy Thursday Blogging Friends...I have so much to tell you..I've been gone for too long. It's been a crazy busy summer so far. I've done a few swaps, won some giveaways, met a fellow blogger, and lots of other things while I've been adsent from blogging.

 Today I'd love to show you the wonderful swap goodies I received from Theresa of Dulaney Woods Treasures. She was my partner in Amy's prim ditty swap. This is my package...wonder what's inside.

Looks like there might be some awesome goodies wrapped in those packages..

Wonderful candle...Cinnamon roll scented. Smells divine.

Oh my!!! Love my new ditty bag. I love rabbits & the color blue. Theresa knew just the thing for me. Made by her hands. I'll add some sweet annie to the bag. Love! Love! Love!

 Next up was this fabulous Jackie Schmidt doll. She was lucky enough to have won a group of her dolls on ebay & decided to share. Lucky me!!

She also made me this beautiful pinkeep. It's a big one...measuring 7 1/2 x 5.

And last, but not least she made me this lovely rabbit doll. I collect rabbits & leave them out year round. This little girl is right at home with my other dolls.

 Here you see all my goodies together. Theresa really spoiled me. Thank you so much Theresa for the wonderful swap goodies. It was really nice to meet you. I would also like to thank Amy from Bumble Bee Lane for hosting this fabulous swap.

If you would like to see what I sent to Theresa, you can click on her blog name above. She really is a sweet lady. She also has an etsy shop with some wonderful goodies in it. You can get to her shop from her blog. Go check her out. You won't be disappointed.

I hope to be back soon to tell you about some of the other things I've been up to.

Have a good night~Becky

Stitchin, Punchin, and Hookin

Good afternoon friends. I've been pretty busy these last two days. I had 2 days off in a row and that doesn't happen very often. The heat has kept me indoors and I decided it's time to get some things done. I've been working on some swap goodies and some projects for myself.Here's a sneak peek of a couple of the things I've been working on.

The makings for a little quilt.... 

 A punch needle project....

A hooked goodie or two or maybe even three....I haven't picked up my hook in years. Decided to start with a small project...

Tomorrow I go back to work :(  I like the paycheck, but it really cuts into my creating time.

Enjoy your weekend~Becky
