SWAP GOODIES

Morning Prim Folk, Happy Thursday to you!!!!                                                Once again I joined in on a fun swap, this one was a Fall themed swap. I received my package yesterday from one of the sweetest blog gals, Donna over at Dirty Martini Queen. Donna is very giving, I was unwrapping such pretty papered goodies like a kid on Christmas morning, what fun!!!! Inside were wonderful gifts, the cutest wee stuffed dog with witches hat, wee pumpkin, prim dolly and stitchery, I think she stitched herself, talented gal, neat cast iron bird spool holder, t-towels with witches hat, pumpkin spice pancake mix which we tried this morning, yummy. Like I said, she is very generous in gift giving, I know this for I've swapped with her a few times before. Thank you Donna for everything, love it all!!!!!! Also a big thank you to sweet Amy for hosting the swap and letting this grateful Canadian girl for joining in on the fun, you are the best!!!!!!!           Wishing you a wonderful day, Fall Blessings Francine.

BLESSINGS

Wishing my fellow Canadian friends a very Happy Thanksgiving Day today. May you all enjoy this wonderful holiday with loved ones and count your blessings. Francine

BITTERSWEET

Morning Prim Folk, Happy Tuesday to you!!!!!                                               The weather here has been so beautiful lately, in the 20's, sunny and warm. So very nice for October, but I know it's not going to last. We were at the lake last week enjoying the nice temps before I went back to work. Did a little fishing on the lake and found some beautiful Bittersweet growing along the banks. Brought the branches home and placed in my yellow ware jug in the blue cupboard, love the berries so. Will be closing up the trailer soon for the season, that is very bittersweet too,sigh  ..................Wishing you a wonderful day, Bittersweet  Blessings Francine

AUTUMN DECORATING

Morning Prim Folk,  already the last week of September, wow!!! where did it go??? I did have a wonderful month off from work though but flew by that's for sure. Was a rainy day Sunday so decided to do a little Fall decorating in the house. Love my new treasures I bought at the Homestead show but always enjoy putting out the older goodies too. So with a yummy scented candle burning, away I decorated. I will admit I do leave some things out all year long, just can't put them away for another  season, love them so... ......Warm Blessings Francine.

WELCOME AUTUMN

Good Morning Prim Folk, Wishing  you a Happy First Day Of Fall!!!!              My favorite time of the year and season. Love everything about Autumn, pumpkins, warm sunny days, cool crisp evenings, the crunch of leaves under foot, wood smoke in the air, the pretty yellow and red leaves, caramel colored sunsets.  It's also a time to get warm and cozy inside the home, feather the nest.  And did I mention  I love Pumpkin's, I do have a love affair with them, something about those wonderful  round orange globes. Just decorating inside and out with them makes me happy!!!!  We are off to the lake today to celebrate Autumn with a toasty crackling fire and to be outdoors with Mother Nature. Fall Blessings Francine.

IN THE GARDEN

Morning Prim Folk, Happy Tuesday to you!!!!                                                Nothing really exciting in the garden but the Lime Peewee Hydrangea   is turning into the most pretty Bronze or rusty color now, I love it so. It is the prettiest plant in the garden, a few Black Eyed Suzies in bloom but that's about it. I bought the rusty crow from the Homestead show from Earlene's booth, her hubby made it and I had to have one for the garden, love it so!! The little old green wicker plant stand I scored at a yard sale for $3.00, I have always wanted one, not crazy on the color but will do. So, that's about what's happening in the garden, yawn, not to much........Wishing you all a wonderful day, Warm Blessings Francine.

HELLO

Morning Prim Folk,  hope you are all doing well, it sure has been awhile. Enjoying my holidays so much, nice not to think about work. Between the lake and just getting home from a wonderful road trip, I have not been blogging. Our trip was to attend a wonderful primitive show in Holly, Michigan put on by such sweet people, Dawn and Dick who live in Holly. An 18 hour drive from Winnipeg but we took our time, three days to get there and enjoyed the beautiful scenery in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. The lakes, forests  are so breathtaking and even the Maple tree's are red in color now, great time of year to travel. I even crossed that famous Mackinaw bridge, kinda of scary but I pulled up my big girl panties for I knew what was coming on the other side, Primitives!!!!!!   The Early Homestead Primitive show was great, bought many goodies and enjoyed seeing many blogging friends, Earlene, Janet, Lauren, Bobbie, Janice and of coarse the host Dawn.  Enjoyed our time there and was definitely worth the trip. The only downfall is not to many pictures, dummy me, I did take with my I-Pad and for some reason I cannot put on my blog, darn blogger wont help me out even, sent feedback many times. So, once I unpack my treasures and do a little decorating, there will be pictures..........Have a wonderful day, Blessings Francine.
