Independence Day 2012

What does Independence Day mean to you?  When I was young, it mean a celebration, lots of food, fun and fireworks!  But today, I’m older and hopefully a little wiser and Independence Day means much more.  It makes me think of the hard work and commitment it took from our forefathers…..the lives that were lost in the process of fighting for the freedom we wanted.  I guess since I’m older, I pay more attention to politics and government…..it’s not all just talk anymore….the talk and actions of our elected officials REALLY DO directly or indirectly effect me, my family, my friends and our Country.   We’ve gotten away from the original values that were once the basis of our America…seems like no one wants to give thanks to God anymore or publicly pray for His guidance and protection for our great Country.  I think we should get back to the simple basics for which this great nation was founded.   Truth, honor, justice, compassion….where have they gone?     

We have been BUSY building the past couple of days!  We've taken some things to The Depot.....and we have a tall cupboard getting ready to go this week!  


Be sure to check out our ever-changing booths at both The Depot @ Gibson Mills in Concord, NC and in The Just Plain Country Antique Mall in downtown Walnut Cove, NC!  

First Junkin’ Trip of 2012

Some friends of Craig’s mom & stepdad were downsizing….they live in this beautiful little log cabin that through the years has been added to…..their children call it the “Builtmore” because every time they came home their dad had “builtmore” onto it! It has turned out really beautifully!  Anyway, they had accumulated a lot of “stuff” over the years and were cleaning out & getting rid of “junk”!  So we helped them out a bit!

You can't even see what's in the backseat of the truck!  Craig was teasing me by singing the theme from "Sanford & Son"....he said he was Fred & I was Lamont!  I made him come home after dark so our neighbors couldn't see all our junk!   Got some old plows, two old horse collars, a metal horse muzzle, old leather bridles and old rusty bits, an iron water fountain....and MORE & MORE JUNK!   I LOVE IT! 

Can't wait to get out there and brainstorm what can be created from all this stuff!  So stay tuned, I'll try to post photos, but it will definitely end up in our booths!

   Kissing the Face of God

 A mother's love is illustrated here by Mary, giving baby Jesus a tender kiss on His cheek.  I love the artwork of Morgan Weistling
