~ Fresh Farmhouse Finds ~

Hello everyone...hope you're enjoying a 
beautiful day ~♥~

Today I've got some farmhouse fresh 
ideas to share with you.

A few weeks ago I was out rummaging through 
our barn when I came upon a really pretty
antique ebony black door nob...sadly it
had lots of old paint on it.

I right away had an idea for it, so with a little
elbow grease...it's now back to gorgeous!!

It makes a perfect scissor stand for these new "Daisy Scissors" 
I just got in....check it out ~ what do you think?


~ Exclusively from Scattered Seed Samplers ~

I only have this one door nob available, and it will be for sale
in my Etsy shoppe hopefully tomorrow.

Not all door nobs will work ~ this one sits nice and flat on a surface.
Plus the inner chamber must be free of any metal obstruction ~
so the scissors slide in & out freely.



~ I absolutely love these pretty Daisy Scissors ~

~  "Fresh Farmfield Find" ~

This special porcelain fence insulator is not nearly as common 
as the smaller ones I have available ~ I will also be 
listing this set tomorrow in my Etsy Shoppe.



I love the old rusty iron bracket that is still 
attached to the insulator.




The bottom is nicely stamped....from Chicago, USA.



Here are some more new scissor styles I just got in yesterday.  
This pair is a primitive "Swordfish" with sharp fish blades!



Silver Swordish Scissors.


Checkout these "Primitive Cat Snips". 
The one handle hole is a Cat's tail...too cute!


This is how they look when opened.


Today I would like to also share with you two of my favorite 
collector books ~ for collecting  antique sewing items.


This is volume 1 ~ by Helen Lester Thompson.
What I love about these two books is that 
thy are affordable....I paid $24.95 per
book years ago, but I've seen them
on Ebay go for about $9.95.


These two books are absolutely wonderful...on rainy days
I love to just sit and look through them.  They are 
full of awesome color photo...you definitely 
would not be disappointed in buying them.

Tomorrow I will share some other wonderful
reference books on sewing collectibles.


Last, I would like to share a close up photo of the pillow I 
mentioned in the Studio Tour....perhaps you 
admire this design as much as I do, and would like to 
stitch one up for yourself.


My friend Olga is such a sweetheart ~ she is SO thoughtful & kind,
and sends me such lovely gifts...most of them handmade by her!

This was a birthday present she stitched for me back in 2010.



The saying is fabulous, and if I remember correctly this was a 
free complimentary chart by Paulette Steward of Plum Street Samplers. 
Check the archives on her blog.  



Today I will leave you with this lovely old photo of cattle...enjoy.



I'm so excited while typing this blog, because by accident I FINALLY figured 
out....what I couldn't SEEM to figure out  ~ and that is; the spacing break
between the photo, which is now allowing me to have a 
bigger letter size making everything easier to read.

For the last three weeks, its been making me so frustrated because I 
just couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong....it's all in how 
you click onto these computer keys!!!!


See you all tomorrow 
~ Country Blessings ~

Kindly, Tammy

  2. The scissors ideas are very charming and the book on antique sewing implements is right up my alley. I received the needle magnets via etsy, thank you for your swiftness, they are lovely.
