New for Primitive Palace are Owls. They were fun to make and oh so cute. Wings are real turkey feathers. My 13 yr old son got the turkey last year. Thanks for the craft supplies Ty!

I took the last two Ice skate wreaths to my booth at Mercantil Antiques. Very sweet and prim- $15 each.

Primitive Wreath

I have one horsecollar wreath at Mercantile Antiques in Saint Joseph IL. $45. I can ship!

Faux Fireplace

This was a fun piece to make. Ive had the g rate for a while and my friend was talking about yule logs and this came to mind. Its a great (safe) decor for those who dont have a fireplace and want the ambiance of one. NO flame flicker candles.

New Black Trees for Halloween

Whatcha think? I came up with these after making some standing white trees on a base for a customer. I love grapevine and moss.

Sunflower Sets

You can never have enough sunflowers! I made a smaller version of my origianl sunflowers. the are on floral wire and are easily positioned in arrangments. I was so inspired making new this weekend!

Made these two small Funnel Fellas this weekend. I love funnels. They are available in the Mercantile shop in St Joseph IL.

New Primitive Fall Fellas.

Oh my has is really been 2 months since I updated here. I have been wholesaling my wares to shops and it has kept me extreemly busy. Not a lot of spare time to blog. Im winding down on orders and makin glots of new stuff for my shows and booth this season. Time is ticking now. Check out my new design. I like how it turned out. I'll be making a snowman to and hope to get a pattern made for him.

Tin Planter

I am so in love with galvanized tin. I made this planter out of a tub and bucket. Now if I only had a green thumb!

The boys have visons of a hunting partner. Ty and Tuck are already inseperable.

Matt says he's on a week trial to see if he fits. Yeah right, I hting that was decided the first hour he was here.

Tuck a two yr old weinerarner (spelling)

Mary meets Tuck

Meet Tuck. The newest member of our family. He is on a one week trial to see if he fits. Yeah right, I think he fit in the first hour he was here. Hes a 2 yr old Weineraner (spelling). I think the boys have visions of a hunting partner.

Mary (black lab) says what the heck is this.

All done!!!

Almost done.

A coat of paint and the new tile. It looks so much better. Just a few finishing details and hanging the towel bars. I spray painted them black.

Dont laugh!

HOw the heck to get the toilet out without breakin gmy sore back and dripping all over the floors. Ahah, the wheelbarrow worked nicely.

Hmm, what to do with that toilet.

Hmmm to have the installer take out the toilet and reinstall it the cost was $120. Isn't my husband a pipefitter? His old toilet needed replaced so we decided to take it out and he could get his own toilet and put it in. You know how men are with their toilets! Go Jenna, a few bolts and pulls and easy. (after draining of course)

Bathroom redo.

Im about to get very busy with wholesale orders for fall and xmas. The kids and I thought we would tackle a home project while we had a bit of time. We redid Matts bathroom as a birthday surprise. I had someone install the tile but we did all the prep work to save some $$. The floor had carpet and the residue of a previous carpet that was glued down that had to be scraped. Now that wa snot a fun job. Thanks to Jenna and her friend Tory who did most of the scraping.

Americana Window Topper OOAK

This topper was fun to make. It has rusty bells and safety pins at the top so it an be hung as a curtain topper. Also looks great draped on an old chair.

Primitive Shutters

Painted and recycled shutters are always a big hit!
