~ 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
