Hopefully today finds you save and sound...awful storms around here today....part of that system that went through Alabama. We were fortunate however....no terrible tornados like we had two weeks ago.
We just received a call from Judy Condon...her new book, "The Spirit of Country" will be shipping in two weeks! I am taking a list of names now for those of you would definitely want a copy when they arrive....so if you are wanting one, just let me know! (I already know who some of you are!!) Book price is $24.95 (WOW price is $22.45)
(Friday evening....)
Just got home from spending all day at the big Liberty Antique show here in Liberty, NC....
Here's a pic of the goodies coming into the shop this weekend! (A couple of pieces will only be at the shop until Sunday if they don't sell...then they are coming home with us! We have a rule...everything we buy has to go into the shop for at least one weekend no matter why we bought it!)

(By the way...for the men out there....the Dixie Gun and Knife show is this weekend out at the fairgrounds!)
(Saturday afternoon....)
I had a great (used) rug hooking book come in..."Rug Hooking" by Ann Davies and Emma Tennant...lots of really great patterns in this one...including a couple of Polly Minick patterns and a fantastic bird & pomegranate rug adapted from an Edyth O'neill pattern. This is an OOP book and priced to sell fast at $9!! Give me a shout if you need it! (Sorry, it is now sold)
Yall have a great weekend...do something fun and come see us if you get the chance!
