My Prim Goodies

Hello everyone,,,, Finally I am back.  My plans for the week was to stay busy as to try and keep my mind off other things... I got a double doze of busy .  And I still don't seem to have anything I wanted to accomplish done.

So as promised... I have pictures of my goodies I got while in TN.  No, they are definitely not staged and I can't wait to show them to you in their new places in my home but as for now ... Just be glad I got pictures.  So its afternoon and we all need a boost, so grab a favorite drink , a piece of dark chocolate and visit with me as I share my finds.

As I said in an earlier post this trip held a lot of first for me.  I have wanted a redware mug for such a long time and finally found one at The Speckled Hen in Clinton , Tn.  I am almost ashamed to admit it but I have never drank flavored coffee either.  It was Christmas Open House and they had refreshments and this coffee to drink.  Had to come home with a bag, and I am already enjoying it at night.  I also picked up several gourmet packages of Hot Chocolate  and some Cider Mix that I am saving until a really cold day.

My major purchase was my German Twig Tree.  I was so excited but as soon as I began unfolding those branches I quickly formed a love/hate relationship with that tree. My arms were  in whelps and itching so badly.  Okay, it's not decorated but will be after the weekend.  Will be back with after photos I promise

I also purchased some brown lights to go on it, but I am thinking just a few lights and  more natural decorations.  Just can't get it together in my mind.  Hmmm , will give me something to work  for during the year to have it perfect for next year.  Anyway,,, I love the tree decorated or not

  Well, this is my first weavers table runner.  It's folded double right now, but you will see it again when I decorate the table for the holidays.  Can't wait

Was tickled to find the drys.  I was going to do oranges for the tree, but now they are done for me. 

 

Sorry you can't see this too well.  Its a bag of cedar and berry blend.  You would be so envious if you could sniff into the bag.  You will see it later in a wooden bowl. 

 

This room spray smells equally as good.  I purchased the orange clove and won the Smell of Christmas as a door prize.  WooHoo, lucky me.

.

As you can see I got many ornaments, but this make-do chair is my favorite.  I originally bought it for a gift but on my 5hour drive home talked myself into keeping it.  I know selfish of me, but I will definitley find something else for the gift.  I think I will use it in a display rather than on the tree.   There were more ornanaments but won't bore you any longer

Oops! Sorry took the picture of this little hanger upside down.  Don't know why but I had to have it.  The Mister is going to mount it on an old board for me.  Just got to figure out what I will hang from it and where to put it.  What fun!

I have been wanting one of these prim candle holders and have the special spot for it once I get my decorating started.  Love that it will slide on the edge of a shelf, window sill,,, so many places.  I got several other small candle holders as well.

On our way back to Piegon Forge from The Speckled Hen in Clinton, we passed many thrift stores.  Stopped in at a Goodwill and look what I found.  I did an old Southern YeeHaw, when I saw the goblets and the old wooden tray. I was so excited with my treasures.

In Piegon Forge I always go to the Pattern Hutch.  I got several patterns and one kit for a project I will begin after Christmas.  So there you have it...... my goodies from a wonderful girl trip.  Can you see why this was such a special trip.? Meeting a blogging friend, spending time with my girls , and all these wonderful treasures as a bonus. 

Hoping all of you are planning a great weekend doing something you will enjoy.  Take care and be careful. Until next time
