WISHING YOU A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Watch out what you say or wish for......
 
it will do this........
 
Yeah? Who asked for THIS??
And the bitter cold to go along with it??
 
 
Yes, it's inevitable that winter weather will come our way
but, it could at least have waited until
AFTER THANKSGIVING!!
 
When I was a little kid,
I used to love to be out in the snow...
make snow angels and snow forts!
 
 
Now I'm a fair-weather girl!
I really should be living in an
area that's warm all year round!
Perhaps I'm showing my old age !
 
)))))))))))))))))))*(((((((((((((((((((
 
In case you've been out of the country or otherwise out of touch for a while......
 
The Little Prairie Girl has moved!
Out of the biggo barn near Holland
to the chic downtown shops of Cedar Falls!

The shop is an eclectic mix of antiques, repurposed vintage,
unusual finds, and a fabulous array of clothing that is sure to please!

I have the honor of having a few of my
repurposed furniture items 
displayed in amongst the vast array of fabulous finds!
 
Here's a preview.....
 
This is a pair of antique shutters,
one has louvers and the other is double panels,
made into a hanging display shelf.
I painted the slats different colors
to make them look like salvaged wood pieces.
SOLD
 
 
 
An orphaned cabinet door turned into
a chalk board for leaving messages or clever sayings!
SOLD
 
I reluctantly took this antique buffet with it's matching mirror top
- yes, I removed the protective covering! - 
I love this piece and if it doesn't sell
I just may have to reclaim it!
 
Who doesn't need more seating options
when the whole family shows up
for Thanksgiving??
Burlap covered bar stools are the perfect pair!
 
A funky '60's room divider shelf unit
with a built-in planter!
How cool is that!
 
Vintage cedar chest, a curbside find,
is now a beautiful painted lady.
The perfect hope chest - do young single girls use these any more??
 
 
Aren't these funny! They make you laugh-out-loud!
Okay, I'm the only weird one?
I mean, at some time, some one WON THE PRIZE!
They got a TROPHY to prove it!
I'm giving them another chance
 at life on the fireplace mantel!
Painted all white - Group a few together!
 
 
I'm so pleased to have the opportunity to be at
Little Prairie Girl.
Natalie has the knack to work her magic
and place items in the perfect spot
and accessorize with eye-catching vignettes.
It makes you want to buy!!
If you haven't been there yet,
WHATTA YA WAITING FOR!!
 
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))*((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( 
 
How many of you, or your kids, or grandkids,
have made one of these??
 
 
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!


GATHER TOGETHER
GIVE THANKS WITH A
GRATEFUL HEART.
