Come See Us!

When I was a kid, we'd go to visit my Grandmom and whether we were there for an afternoon or a week,when it was time to go, Grandmom always hugged our necks and said "Come see us!" This confused me. We were there. We'd been there. But, she wanted us to know we were welcome to come back. And the sooner the better.


Grandmom would have loved Robelyn of redneck chic. I can just see Grandmom pinching her cheeks and teasing her about her crazy red hair. They would share toothy grins and have a mutual admiration club. When it was time to go, Grandmom would hug Robelyn and say "Come see us!"

(My sister hugs Robelyn)


As for Cathy of Girls Gone Junkin', I think Grandmom would enjoy all the lace and fashion that IS Cathy. Grandmom liked creating and I think she and Cathy could chat and share and inspire til the cows come home. Without a doubt, Grandmom would hug Cathy and holler at her as she drove off "Come see us!"

I haven't had the privilege of meeting Pam and Sue of GGJ, but as much as Grandmom would enjoy Cathy, I believe she would giggle with Pam and Sue, too. The way I figure, if they hang out with Cathy, Grandmom would hug 'em as they departed and yell out "Come see us!"

Grandmom never met David. If she were here today, she'd give him the once over, ask him a few questions about his intentions and she'd hug his neck, cover her teeth with her lips and gnaw on his jawbone. This was the ultimate show of love, the gnawing of the jawbone. (Yes. Quirky runs in my family!) Then, as David loaded up the truck and put it in reverse, Grandmom would stand at the end of the driveway, wave and yell at David "Come see us!"

Tomorrow, Saturday, February 26 from 10-5, there will be lots of talent under the same roof at The Primitique. Robelyn, Cathy, Sue, Pam and David will be joining me for Tailgates & Trunks. The weather will be glorious. The shopping will be amazing. And the company can't be beat.

Come see us. We'll help you shop. We'll help you load. And when you leave, I can't promise a jaw gnaw, but we will wave and holler, "Come see us!"

Happy Friday!

ps. If you can't come see us, go see Val of Red Shed Antiques. She's throwing a shindig tomorrow, too!

I do love to shop

I've been shopping!

I bought something green.
Classic Pedal Car
I found this red thing.
Locomotive
And I couldn't resist this classy lady.
Lamp
This warmer weather is good for my soul. I do love to shop!

I love playing hostess, too. After that, I love shopping. In order to shop, I need to sell. So, to satisfy all of my needs, come out to The Primitique this Saturday for Tailgates & Trunks. I'll play hostess, you buy stuff and then, the next day, I can go shopping. Win/Win! Thanks in advance for your support.
Tailgates & Trunks
Happy Day!

Re-Finds

Re-finds: things that you buy, offload, forget about and one day "re-find" in your driveway. Yes. I made that up. But, you follow, right?

Today, I re-found (past tense of re-find) this fun panel. It has some imperfections, but what is perfect is so worth re-finding!
Panel
And this isn't a re-find, but it's funny. Opah, the hen discovered my office today and let herself in. Isn't she a funny clucker?
House Chicken
OH! This re-find would make any redneck happy. A RC Cola Cooler. Or Beer Cooler. Moonpie cooler. Yes, it has a drain hole. Love it!
Beer Chest
Check out this little metal desk that I re-found. I was so excited, I forgot to turn it around and take a pic of the front. Oops!
Small desk
These re-finds are cool. A bed and a wagon. Yum.
Bed & Wagon
Sometimes Christmas is in my very own driveway.

Have you discovered any re-finds lately?

Happy Day!

I'm a Goober

Last week, I was perusing my facebook wall when I saw this amazing, totally WOW necklace for sale at Graceful Bandera. Oh my.
Talk about impulse buying. I did it. I bought it.

It came in the mail today and as I was driving (I mean at the stop lights), I began snapping pics. I wanted you to see! Of course, I missed the bottom of the necklace in this pic. So, I'm not real good at this.

Ah. Better.
Love it!
Love it?
Leather and Pearls
Can you imagine what the people on the highway (I mean at the red light) are thinking?
Enough!
They are thinking I am a big goober!

Graceful Bandera in Bandera, Texas. They are on facebook. and when you get yours, tell 'em I sent ya. But, don't tell 'em I'm a goober. K?

Happy Tuesday!

Delay of Game

2 redneck chairs
The redneck called this morning and requested that we reschedule the Super Bowl. She said she thinks the pucks won't be able to go through the baskets, because of all the snow. Bless her heart.
Cold Angel
We do strongly believe that if you were to sit on our tailgate, your booty would freeze to it.

Therefore, in the interest of your safety and well-being, we have decided to reschedule our Tailgate Party at The P.

Stay tuned for the date.
Cold Goodies
The Primitique will be open for business Saturday. If you're in our area, be sure to stop by!
Snow on Chair
Happy Weekend, Stay Warm and don't sit on any cold tailgates!
