Today's post is all about locker hooking!

What starts out like this...

will soon become one of these....with a lot of fabric, time, and hard work!!!
We use an open weave canvas and one inch cotton strips of fabric to create these wonderful table runners, mats, and samplers!

Be sure to check out our new selling blog (there's a link to it at the top left side of this page)!
Our first two items listed will be locker hooked table runners and you'll receive a free gift with purchase!!!!!!!

Also, if you stop by our blog, we'd love to have you sign up to be a follower!

We've gone to the birds....geese, mallard ducks, cardinals, finches.....
and we even have some great, handmade, rustic, birdhouses too!!!!

Now that the holidays are over it's nice to get our houses back in order and even do a little re-decorating! We have some wonderful new items to check out!

Here's a few of our primitive boxes that are great to decorate with!

Our ever popular star rugs are in-stock and we have this new primitive doll that looks great with them!

This is a one-of-a-kind table! It's made with an old sewing machine bottom
and has a beautiful wood tabletop!



The new arrangement over our fireplace features our new "Hearthside" sign, candle sconces, grungy candle, checkerboard, and primitive basket with saltboxes
needle-felted on the front.....

We also have some new Valentine's Day primitives...hooked rug samplers, needle felt pillows, stitcheries....

Look for our next post! It will feature our handmade, locker-hooked items such as the small star sampler and table runner seen here!

Calling all crafters!!!! We're looking for some new consignors to join our shoppe! If you hand make primitive wood items, signs, furniture, candles, tarts, dolls, hooked rugs, stitcheries, etc., etc., drop us an email describing what kind of things
you make and your phone number and we'll get back to you to discuss the details! We'd love to have you join us before the busy holiday season!

We've been busy, busy, busy!!!! First, on our to-do list, was to paint our "Farmhouse Room". After posting pictures of this room in earlier posts (which you can go back and check out) we noticed this room had a pink/peach tint to it and that just had to go!!!! So now we have this beautiful tan color! Quite an improvement I must say! Of course since we painted the room, we had to rearrange everything to give it a fresh new look too! We couldn't just put things back where they were!

Second, on our to-do list, is to get the store ready for the Holiday season! We've been busy decorating with all of our new Christmas decor items! Look for some great pictures of that coming soon!!!!
