After a setback with a round of the flu after Christmas, it sure felt good to be back on my feet and ready to roll. But before I could roll too far, I had to tackle my holiday aftermath kitchen!! I love my kitchen. When we finished our log cabin in 2013, we added a big wing on the back which is the kitchen, laundry, hall powder room and the on-suite for the master bedroom which is one of the cabin rooms. It was the best decision we made because it gave us a large gathering room including the dining harvest table in one end of the kitchen. Even though it is not open concept, we do have a open doorway to the living room and another to the entry hall which makes for a good flow and a complete circle on the first floor. <br />

All of the windows in the kitchen/dining addition are large, almost floor to ceiling double hungs, so we can get the best of views and spring and fall breezes. When we moved the antique cabin to our property, we stored all of the wood from a surrounding house that covered the logs at the previous owners. We salvage and repurposed so much wood, from beams we used on the porch ceiling to shiplap siding that became all of our trim work for the entire house. All of that old wood was sawn with blade marks which we lightly sanded and natural finished. </div>

Another kitchen fave is our cabinetry. While we were checking with our local Amish community an hour away in search of wood flooring, we discovered a cabinet maker. I love the shaker style cabinets he made, and I added glass to the uppers which he had never done. He also had never installed a mixer lift which is a spring loaded shelf that raises my mixer out of the cabinet it is stored in. I just love it, and he thought it was a great idea too!! Our large island is also a plus because of the increased cabinetry on of which has the microwave. Even though we downsized to the cabin when we moved here, it's the kitchen, the heart of our home that makes it real.</div>

Even though it has taken longer, we are pleased to have the rear extension under roof, windows in, doorway now cut through from the log cabin to the new kitchen, and the electricians are now wiring. We will have one log wall in the kitchen, which is an exterior log wall. It will be in keeping with the large kitchen dining room I have designed with the objective of using our 8 1/2 foot harvest table my husband built for me many years ago. </div>

One rainy day since we moved to our new farm in March, I had the opportunity to put this Boho artisan bracelet together using sterling silver, brass filligree beads, real turquoise, red jasper and fired greek ceramic beads. I was so glad to have a day in my little closet studio. We have been working dilligently at our log cabin house which is coming along. Since I am the sub-contractor, I have to been on-site most days to meet with various workers. All the while, I have been cleaning and sealing the logs, and in the afternoons working with our builder constructing our enclosed back porch which will be our kitchen and master bath. When the project is complete, I will have a loft studio to be creative in once again. countrycharismahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09210098229226021632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-248224597913440670.post-22581492349078438162012-12-16T19:36:00.000-06:002012-12-16T21:20:36.870-06:00Tiny Christmas tree<div class="mobile-photo">

This is our tree this year. Barely 3 feet tall with white lights, this little tree has only wood painted red cardinal birds for ornaments. Set on top of an antique sugar chest in our living room, this little tree has become our only decor this Christmas. <br />
<br />
Usually this tree is on my porch, but with packing in preparation to move to our tiny hunting cabin, Christmas decorating has had to take a back seat. As much as I love Christmas, it is still a joy because we finally have a contract on our historic home. We are praying every day that the sale will be finalized soon. I am so glad for this, but even more to celebrate the birthday of our King! I pray my next post will be from our little cabin in the hollow! From there we will complete the log cabin we started years ago, which will be our next permanent home, just uphill from the hunting cabin. Blessings to all for a joyful Christmas!countrycharismahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09210098229226021632noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-248224597913440670.post-66015887130229133052012-11-22T22:00:00.001-06:002012-11-22T22:00:15.084-06:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Our final Thanksgiving at our old southern Tennessee home was celebrated my daughter and her husband. As we await the buyer of our home to come forth, we thank the Lord each day for all the blessings we have enjoyed at our home and farm. More than any, we celebrate the love and joy of our Lord, who blessed us more than we deserve. </span><br />

My husband and I stumbled on it while taking a backroad to Sevierville while in east Tennessee. It was truly a backroads trip, and so happy to find their cute store, museum, and the ENTIRE factory! Even Jake, the Bush Beans dog, was a participant in the store museum movie. Yes, we sat through it, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was not aware</span><br />

the Bush Co. began as a packing company for Van Camps. but later became their own company. </div>

<div class="mobile-photo">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">We enjoyed the little Bush camper trailer in the store, as we browsed through their many displays inside the original general store. I love the wash tubs on the front porch because I just got some for the porch of our log cabin we are finishing. </span></div>

Although I would have loved to have been at the Country Living Fair in Columbus just miles away, I did not have enough stock on this trip to warrant the cause. However, we had a great show, and many buyers were also attending CLF, and working both shows into their schedules. With beautiful weather, my husband to help me, and a huge turnout, it was a super weekend.</div>

This vintage handmade cupboard also left us. My huband assisted two young ladies loading it into a small suv with the backseat down. It was over six feet tall, but amazingly just fit.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Many more smalls, a great industrial cart, two tables, two wonderful hanging lamps, and several of my crochet hats, a wagon, signs, and mancave items were sold. We had less than a third left to put back into the trailer at the end of the show. A big thank you to all of our buyers, the nice folks set up on either side of us, and to the many pleasant people we met on our 3 day weekend in Springfield.</div>

I will be displaying some of my jewelry including vintage creations as well as new silver and stone pieces. We will have a great selection of vintage and primitive antiques, with lovely white ironstone pitchers and platters. If you are looking for gothic lights, don't miss us; we have 7 matching lamps that came out of the old Jefferson Courthouse in Plymouth, IN from the late 50's. They are amazing!

This is my latest equine pendant necklace. I hand form the horse head with fine sterling silver, using heavy 18 gauge, then pound the form to harden and fix the shape. Next, I wire wrap with a finer sterling wire using black onyx, lapis lazuli, citine, and choice stone beads to complete the mane. With the ends of the wires, I curve and design the forelock, then add a jump ring and cord of choice.countrycharismahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09210098229226021632noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-248224597913440670.post-81671592107548988492012-08-05T22:27:00.000-05:002012-08-05T22:27:55.129-05:00Slipcover Patio Deck Lounge Chairs ? !<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Ten years ago, when we built our pool, we bought these patio deck lounges. I liked them because they had this comfortable woven rush style backs and seats that looked natural, but were made of vinyl. </span> </div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We got four of them, and they have held up so well, until last year, when the front edges of all of them began to fray. I supposed it is due to the sun hitting the edge against the black metal, causing them to dryrot. I wasn't willing to discard them because they were still usuable, but were becoming unsightly. After considering different solutions, it finaly dawned on me what I could do to get a little more life out of them. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I still had a piece of this outdoor fabric from recoving patio chairs for my daughter. I measured the chairs and created a pattern (which I had to tweak a little for the first one), then sewed double rows of stitching on the turned under edges.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">When fitted and completed, I sewed velcro on the edges that would wrap around the ends of the chair, and fasten on the underneath.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I finished them today, and even though I did not repair the chairs, at least I was able to hide the sun damage. In the mean time, maybe I can come up with a solution to actually repair them. They look better on the patio now, and after completing them, I thought a little pillow of the same fabric would be nice on each chair. I don't know if I have enough material left, but I'm going to check.</span></div>

Whatever, I'll at least get another season, and I didn't have to buy anything for the job. I had everything in my sewing supplies. </span></div>countrycharismahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09210098229226021632noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-248224597913440670.post-83742092517848202992012-07-22T17:00:00.000-05:002012-08-05T22:32:01.865-05:00Historic Farm for Sale<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">As much as we have loved our historic home in Tennessee, we have made the decision to sell this year, in order to downsize. This is a wonderful place, with all the amenities of a resort (swimming, horseback riding, trails, creek, farm, pastures, and country life), and it will continue to be a pleasure for a new generation. We have wrestled with the letting go process, and finally decided this spring to do the dreaded. I set up as for sale-by-owner listing, and acquired an <a href="http://www.nashvillesmls.com/listing/1345685-418-sandusky-rd-shelbyville-tn-37160/">MLS listing</a> which appears on numerous on-line sites, then added craigslist which has a <a href="http://tnfarmforsalebyowner.shutterfly.com/">shutterfly</a> link with over 100 photos. Now we are waiting the arrival of the buyer!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I did a quick walk-around this morning and took several outdoor photos to post. The front porch of this 1847 home has seen many seasons of several major eras of our country. Weddings, courtings, and relaxing days have been spent on this same porches. In the 1800's, the road passed right in front of this porch. Imagine the horses and buggies that stopped here. In mid 1900's, the road was "straightened" and moved about 100 yards from the house. The other end of the house has a similar porch that faces the road. </span><br />

There is plenty of space in this country eat-in kitchen to add a large island. We have a huge butcherblock, but we haven't put it back in yet.

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">My daughter came to visit this week. We celebrated her birthday, and had a wonderful mother/daughter time. We finaly got the rain we had been praying for, so we found indoor things to do...shopping, eating out, digging in my jewelry...and lots of laughs and sharing. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">I gave her the music clef note pendant necklace I had made her from sterling silver, hammered and hand wrought. I added three little rubies for her birthstone, and strung it on a black leather cord with sterling clasp. She loved it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Tuesday, our Chamber of Commerce held a business Expo which I participated in. Even though I have spent this entire Spring preparing our home to sell, I still mustered some evenings to work on some jewelry and put a little showing together. I was only able to get pictures of my own booth because I was by myself, with no relief person. I enjoyed incorporating some of my antiques as props in my booth. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">We are selling our 1847 carpenter gothic, a home we both love, but it is just too big, and too much grounds care. We have our other farm with the log cabin that is screaming to be finished, so we can have a happy downsizing. Even though that farm has more acreage, most is wooded, in pastures, and less mowing. We have both come to the conclusion that we do not want to spend so much time maintaining two places. We have so enjoyed living here; God has been good to us here.</span>countrycharismahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09210098229226021632noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-248224597913440670.post-80160120854028365992012-04-07T11:12:00.000-05:002012-04-07T11:13:05.004-05:00Happy Easter!

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">2011 brought new changes to our 1847 Carpenter Gothic southern home. Often the layout of old houses entitles the modern owners to use the rooms in ways they were never intended. I believe the only room in our home that is used as it originated is the master bedroom. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Some of those changes took place before we aquired the house twelve years ago, but our greatest internal change was swapping the livingroom and diningroom in 2011. During that swap we added hardwood floors to a portion of the house that had carpet, and put new hardwood in the kitchen after ripping up the original to reinforce the old bouncey joists. The orignial floors were wormey chestnut, and i just loved them, but there was no subfloor. Besides the bounce, winter drafts could be felt up to your knees. Something had to be done, and the splintering boards were not usable for finished flooring after the joist project. It is just part of old-house delimmas.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">In an older post, I presented an album of the new diningroom, which also viewed the hallways to the bedrooms and the kitchen, all of which got the new hardwood. By putting the diningroom in it's new location, it allowed for the arrangement of furniture so that we could pass through that room to our bedroom hall. When we had the livingroom there, you would have to walk through the LR furniture and often in front of someone watching television. No more. Even though my husband and I do most of our TV watching on our sunporch, the visiting grands and family liked to use the LR for video games and DVDs. I will try to show you how we found the remedy for this. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I decided to pull out the stockings I started on last winter and finish them up. Now that they are completed, I cannot figure out how to make the pictures upright. I turn them in my picture folder, and they still come out sideways. There must be a way!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I made my stocking using slightly waffled natural felt with a little flecking in it.

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I used parts of a vintage sweater on two stockings. This one has a patch of angora covered with shiney barrel beads and seed pearls. I added the pearl buttons from the sweater as another accent</span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-142pkOcex1w/TtmRSNmB9_I/AAAAAAAAEoY/MVMk5L7TVHQ/s1600/IMG_2027.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dda="true" height="214" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-142pkOcex1w/TtmRSNmB9_I/AAAAAAAAEoY/MVMk5L7TVHQ/s320/IMG_2027.JPG" width="320" /></a>, <span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Vintage fringe tops the sock.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">And thats not all; I've been crocheting hats too. This youth hat will fit a young girl to preteen.

My lovely daughter Carrie, worked like a Trojan the entire time, setting up, arranging, and rearranging all weekend. We arrived on Wednesday with our 24' gooseneck horse trailer, and quickly found out how difficult it was going to be to get that trailer to our space around the twisting narrow paved pathway and forrest of huge pines. The setting was wonderful, the access was horrendous. A good Georgian friend, Victor, met us at the showgrounds and saved the day. He got the trailer to our boothsite, helped us unload and set up tents, and got the trailer back out. We had just enough time to cover everything up before the setup time was over. Thursday morning Carrie and I set to work, finishing the furniture arrangement by noon, and working all afternoon on smalls and decor. We were dog tired by Thursday night, but were relieved to have help from my husband who came to join us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because of our schedule and busy day on Friday, I was not able to leave the booth for pictures until Sunday! My camera got left in the truck so I used my husband's cell phone (mine was set up for credit card sales) and managed to get my first walk around the show. I got several nice pictures and enjoyed a quick browse through, but lost all of my photos when my husband changed phones on Monday! At least I still had my booth pictures on my camera which I had brought in for setup! Sorry I could not share with you what all I saw, it was such a wonderful show, filled with such talented people who did miraculous things with jewelry, antiques, vintage, artwork, metal, pottery, glass, and you name it! It was not your ordinary country fair by any means. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our booth space allowed us plenty of room to spread, and since we had a tree in our front yard which prohibited setting the tent up by the road, we opted to set the tents up by depth instead of width, and used the tree to set up a mancave display with the antique mantle, oars and paddles, lobster traps, log tables, old weathervane, lots of old barn and fishing items, and my husband's creation coffee table made from an antique drag(old mule-drawn cultivating equipment). The glass-top table got lots of great comments, as well has his hand-hewn log tables. </div>

This was the first year for the show, which was held at beautiful Tap Root Farm. Upon entering and driving up their long tree-lined driveway facing their gorgeous 2-story historic farm house, one entered the first tent of booths set up on the east side of the front lawn. At first I thought that the booths in the tent were the entire show, but soon found out there were booths in both barns and tents behind. <br />
<br />
My first stop was to meet Nancy of <a href="http://sassytrash.blogspot.com/">Sassy Trash</a> where I bought my first item, one of her lovely metal and pearl crosses that I now have hanging in my office window. For some reason my picture of Nancy's booth did not turn out, but be sure to visit her blog and get the whole rundown. Her interesting and creative metal work is a study in itself. Nancy is not only talented, but just a friendly and personable as she is in her blog. I was so glad to finally meet her. We will both be exhibiting at Country Living Fair in Atlanta, Oct. 21-23. Her booth was great; my favorite of the show. <br />

Entering the first tent was a delight. Nancy's booth was right across from Magnolia Pearl, with her enjoyable array of vintage boots, linen pantaloons, doiley vests, and asseccories. I visited her booth twice.<br />

Carter's Creek Station Antiques & Grainery had some really great antiques and smalls. I found a wonderful ivory crocheted spread and some ivory linen I needed to cover a stool. These ladies had a combined booth, but their shop is in Franklin area. I can't wait to visit it. <br />
