Cupboard Blues

My husband fixed this old coffee grinder for me and I wanted to paint it blue, so started grabbing a bunch of other stuff to keep it company.  This includes the spice cupboard that was supposed to be blue years ago, but I never got around to it.  You can see its old grubby self in the last photo.

Christmas at the Cabin

I've been so busy working on projects, I've barely had a moment to write, but am going to try tonight.  It has been usual craziness here, my oldest daughter is studying for the ACT exam and since she is homeschooled, I get to help.  We hate algebra, we really do.  I also am trying to help my youngest learn to love reading, she just doesn't, even though her favorite thing used to be story time--I guess she just doesn't like to do it by herself.  Husband working 500 hours a day, so stress is just a daily fact of life.  That may be why I am on a plain and simple primitive kick--just a little pine, a few rusty bells, perfect!

The Christmas Trees are Here

It is that time of year when everything gets a Christmas tree!

Ironstone and China Day

I usually stick to wood and tin in my shop, but do have a soft spot for china, especially white ironstone (and of course, my precious blue and white).  Here are a few things I just couldn't resist on recent shopping trips, they are on their way to eBay.

Another Show Bites the Dust

For posterity, here are photos of my failed fall show.  I got all of 25 people to show up out of 270 invitations sent, it was brutal. Setting up again at Christmastime, because I am just that foolish.
