I had so much going on....last Thursday, I got laid off from my job!!!! I knew things were slowing down but I did not see that one coming...just figures, right before a holiday! They may have an opening in a couple of months for a different position...so I will have to see what happens and keep my eyes open for a new job. Until then, I will have more time to do what I love....CREATE!!
Saturday we had our Easter dinner and we had all of our nieces and nephews and their significant others over...we had a blast and dinner turned out great. We all ate way too much.
Sunday morning we headed off to the flea market....yes, they were open! There were a few more sellers than last time but still not packed like usual. Hopefully with the warmer weather things will pick up! I managed to find this little treasure. It is a vintage chicken feeder with an antique barrel shaped pickle jar. I can bet you all can guess what I plan to do with it, right?
I know with the warmer weather just around the corner I love to decorate my front and back porch with primitive flea market finds and such so it got me thinking...... and I have come up with a new Primitive Porch Series. I used to dabble in making wooden items and thought about making some primitive wooden items to decorate your porches with. My first Primitive Porch creation is based on a TFC Folk art doll and is listed on Ebay along with my Americana black cat doll. Click here to view my auctions
Here is a sneak peak of her.
She is a one of a kind! I have a few other items to add to my series and can't wait to share them with you!
Oh, Lottie,I could not resist Nina Mae!! She is adorable!! Can't wait to see what's next....Thanks!

I just came across your site today and I'm glad that I did! So sorry to hear that you lost your job - hopefully the other position will become available soon. But, you're right, it will give you more time to be crafty! Love your flea market finds!
ReplyDeleteLottie! I LOVE her!! And the chicken feeder (I collect old feeders!). So sorry to hear about your job, but can't wait to see what other creations come from this extra time! And hopefully some new patterns, too! (hint~hint LoL)
ReplyDeleteHugs!

Hey Lottie! I love your primtive porch creation ~ how cool!!! And I WISH I had that chicken feeder, lol! I have one that three of my younger chickens still use but not as nice as yours!!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your being laid-off, I guess it's par for the course these days.....I've been laid-off now for a year. It's a huge shock at first but to tell you the truth, I've gotten used to it, LOL!!!
