An early penny rug for sale...

I wanted to share this on the blog and it will also be on the website. One of my customers is wanting to sell a wonderful early penny rug. She is asking $225 (plus shipping). It is a unique rug measuring 36" x 21"; it is done in mostly dark blues and grays; it has a crocheted edging. It was purchased at an estate sale in VA years ago. The note with it stated that it had been done by "Grandmother Brubaker"- along with some other info. The backing is done with old denim. Please feel free to e-mail or call if you would like more info on this wonderful piece. Thanks for your interest.

Back in the garden...

Finally, after weeks of unbearable heat, we seem to be getting a break. I am finally able to get out into the gardens and see what's going on. My zinnias have suffered from the terrible heat and lack of rain but I hope they will perk up now that it has cooled and had some much needed rain this weekend. I am trying to get the weeds out now- they grow no matter what. The figs are also coming in and are quite delicious. We are selling them as fast as we can pick them. The tomatoes and cantaloupes are pretty much done and the okra is still giving a good fight!! I should have just a few more weeks of the okra to pick, freeze and enjoy this winter. Enjoy these cooler days and try to see what's happening in your garden.

Please be sure to check out the website as I continue to put items for sale on- just added a couple of cupboards!!

TIME FOR A CHANGE.....

Well friends, we all have to make changes in our lives at some point. It is with much sadness ( and happiness) that we have decided to close our log cabin shop for the time being. It has been a wonderful 8 years and I have enjoyed meeting everyone who has stopped by however, it's just becoming too much for me to keep up our little farm, the shop and give the attention to Jared that I would like. I will continue to have my booth at Gibsonville Antiques and will continue the website and this blog. We will be having our annual fall event at the shop on SEPT. 30 and OCT. 1, then the shop will be closed. I haven't decided yet what I will do with the cabin but will keep you posted. I will be selling many of my display pieces and will be making some great markdowns in the coming weeks. The shop is only open by appt for the remainder of the summer, so give me a call to check it out!! More information will be coming about the fall event.

Many thanks...

Just a quick note to send out my thanks for those folks that stopped by on Saturday- we had a great turnout and the weather was actually pleasant. I didn't even have to turn on the air conditioner in the cabin!! I have fluffed my booth at Gibsonville Antiques, so if you get a chance, please stop by. For the remainder of the summer, I will open the shop by appointment only. Please feel free to call anytime you need to stop by. Here are a few pics from Saturday. Happy Fourth of July!!
