Good Finds!

I went out to Goodwill today and found these items at really good prices. Most of it was from the sale color they post each week.



I'm planning on taking the pictures out of the frames and changing their colors for some primitive stitcheries that I will be working on. Probably won't get them done for a few months though. I'm planning on the wooden candlestick being a make-do pumpkin or Christmas item, the little green can I'm going to put a snowman inside it, and the can that is already painted I think I will just put that in my flower garden this summer.

Any ideas on what I can do with the white candlestick? It is very heavy (I think cast iron that was painted) but because of it's weight I'm not sure what to use it for.

The little red stool I'm either going to repaint a different color and put in my flower garden too or I'll incorporate it into my Christmas decorating. Not sure yet on that one.

The snowflake luminary thing I'm going to spray paint white and go from there.



If you have any other thoughts I'd love to hear them. Ya know the great minds think alike philosophy.

The Birth of Primrose Parlor

I decided I would create a new blog for all of my primitive things that I have grown to love. I'm really excited about getting back into crafting a little bit. Years ago, about 8-9 I had a little craft business selling country and primitive items at fairs and booth space at retail locations. Since then life got busy and I had to put it aside. Life is still busy, but I'd like to get back to creating. I even have a few ideas of my own for patterns, which would be a first. So stay tuned, in case I ever post them here. I hope other prim lovers will find my blog. I'm always looking to chat with those who love collecting and primitive decor. Even make a few Prim Friends.
