Primitive Handmades Mercantile

It's hard to believe that it's already time for PHM first 2015 update.  Where is the time going.  I have been stitching like crazy to get things done for this update.  I hope you'll go over and take a walk through all the lovely shops.  All the ladies are so very talented and every month I have to pinch myself because I still can't believe I'm in this group of talented ladies.  Here is a link to our website...everyone has posted their update.  http://primitivehandmadesmercantile.com

As you can see I went a little heart crazy this month.  I hope it all puts you in the mood for love and friendship.  

I hope this post finds you all happy and healthy!!!

Hugs,

New family members

We have been wanting kitties for some time now so on Saturday we started our search at some local shelters.  Yesterday (Sunday) we visited the SPCA with two black kittens in mind...a brother and sister.  Well when we got there another couple was looking at them so we went and looked at the older cats.  To our surprise two 1 year old brothers took a shine to our little one and us.  We went back to look at the kittens but still they were with the couple in a room playing.  I told hubby I think we found ourselves kitties already so the two 1 year old brothers came home with us.

Meet Stache and Drizzle they came with these names not sure if we'll keep them but for now that is what we are calling them.

I hope you have all had a fabulous start to 2015!!!

Hugs,

Theresa

DC Flea with my friends

There are only a few things that make me get up at 6am on a Saturday morning.  One is a craft show and the second is antiquing. You see I'm just not a morning person so the motivation has to be just right LOL!  When my Facebook primitive/ stitcher friend Michelle Blanco told me about the DC Big Flea Market in Chantilly Virginia at the Dulles Expo Center I was game.  I mean after all I'd get to antique and meet Michelle for the first time.  I also talked my long time best friend Holly LeMay into going too.

I must say it was a perfect day with lots to look at and buy.  There must have been over 500 booths. The best booth for me was "The Truffle Pigs" booth it was a stitchers dream come true...vintage buttons, hat pins, sewing notions, mixed in with Handmades by a bunch of very talented gals Stacey Bear, Deborah Hartwick and Kim Stout. If you'd like to check them out here is their blog: http://trufflepigssewingroom.blogspot.com/?m=1

My friend Holly found a sweet Steiff fish and a vintage fish bowl to put him in LOL.  Michelle found the cutest little antique red/cream sewing machine. I found a crock that was in perfect condition outside of a small chip for a really great price.  We all came away with a lot more goodies but those are just a few of the items we found that came home.  Here is a photo of everything I brought home.

To see when the next DC Big Flea is:

Also for those that come to the show there is a Cheesecake Factory only several minutes away....this is where we all had lunch. It was yummy too. :0)
