Monday Market with Old Farmhouse Gathering

It is Monday the day after the Super Bowl Game, and congratulations to the New Orleans Saints on winning. I'm learning about the "Who Dat", and all the fun from New Orleans. Today I have found two more very talented artist, and they have more then one shop. So on this cold and snowy Monday you will have a great trip to these shops, in your slippers, so get something warm to drink, before you have to deal with the cold. The first shop is by Phyllis who has the Village Weaver on Etsy. Her husband also has an amazing shop called the Scottish Lion Wrought Iron. Please also visit their web site for more wonderful creation from this talented couple. http://mainevillageweaver.com.     The two of them weave fabric into bedspreads, homespun fabrics, blankets, lampshades, table clothes, runner, and then all the wrought iron to go into your home.  You will be spending a lot of time check out all the items they have made.  The next shops belong to Joy who also has three shops.  The first one is Vintage Verses, where you will find hand written calligraphy scripture, and Joy will do custom work for you.  Her next shop is Beejoyfulquilts, filled with patterns for your quilting needs, then the last shop is Joyfully Yours.  This shop is filled with stationery, prints, cards, and calendars. It is amazing how talented this people are, and the joy they find in doing what they love.  When you are done please type OFG into the search bar on Etsy, and you will find more artist to visit with.  A link to all of these wonderful shop is to the right of this posting.

Ground Hog Day

Happy Ground Hog Day!  Yes we are having six more weeks of winter.  Let's hope they are short, and Phil is wrong!  The bright side we have six more weeks to clean and organize the insides of our home.  Then we can go outside and do some yard work!  So for the next six weeks, we can clean more closets, cupboards, plan our gardens, and look for some new canning recipes.  Also this is the time to look over your canning equipment and see what needs to be replaced.  Some of the stores around here sell canning lids all year round, so this is a wonderful time to stock up.  Does your lawn and garden equipment need some work, then take them in before everyone else does.  Lots to do and six week is way to short in someways!  Well we are on the down side of winter, the days are getting longer, and spring will be here!!!! YEA!!!!!!!!!!

Monday Market with Old Farmhouse Gathering

Welcome to Monday and the first day of February!  The month of love!  If you are looking for some wonderful gifts for a love one, the Old Farmhouse Group has a lot to offer.  Everything offer in this group  will last a lot longer then flowers, and for a lot less money.  So for some one of kind gifts please visit the three shops I have found for you today.  The first shop belongs to Dorothy of Thymeless Treasure, you will find e-patterns, bowl fillers, and primitive decor.  The next shop belongs to Natalie of Tin and Treasures, where you will find painted tins, knitted goods, and lots of seasonal goodies for you home.  The last shop today belongs to Michelle of the Ugly Duckling Design, where you will find soy candles, electric candles, and tarts.  When you are done visiting these great shops type OFG into the search bar on Etsy, and you will find more wonderful shop to look at and do some shopping.  Shopping in your slippers with something warm to drink, will beat going to the mall any day.  Plus you are supporting artist here, and not something imported with who know what in it.  See you next Monday with some more wonderful shops from the OFG team, and on Wednesday I will feature another shop from the Homefront Artfire Team.
