ANOTHER GORGEOUS DAY..

Well...I think this part-time stuff is going pretty well...except my husband keeps insisting on taking me places.(yep...lot's of arm twisting going on)....so today...it was back to the Frankenmuth area, Mike's Antiques, to be exact to purchase an old primitive cupboard that I fell in love with last Friday.  He didn't think I had room, but I convinced him otherwise this morning....so off we went.  Thankfully, it was still there.  This particular dealer has a large area in the corner of the mall...her booth name is "The Parson's Wife" or real name, Robin.  She has the most beautiful primitive pieces.  I don't know where she manages to find them.  They are all time worn, with the beautiful, rich colors of wood.  Her displays are wonderful!  I'm sure I'll be playing with this one many times over....but for now..it stays put!

Still hooking away on my Lori Brechlin rug, "Daisy".  I took it to Holly Hills yesterday for hooking and they thought it was a Democratic rug...LOL!!  They didn't realize that Lori has real donkeys on her farm...so funny!  I should be finished with it this weekend.

Speaking of Holly Hills....Dawn's husband Dick has made the most beautiful reproduction buttery!!  It is simply to die for!  He has also fashioned a wonderful, wonderful wood, fireplace piece that would look perfect in any room of the house!  Dick does a fantastic job reproducing pieces that I would have never thought possible!  The painted finishes are so old to the touch.  Dawn's Christmas Open house will be November 2nd & 3rd.  If you are in the area, please stop by..here is a picture of Dawn's fireplace made by her husband...enjoy!

And.......the buttery.....GORGEOUS!
