Apple Butter Makin Days

Whew! Had a whirlwind of a weekend! And then played catch up yesterday. My poor home had been a little neglected. Spent all last week getting ready for the craft show. And then spent ALL weekend in Mt Vernon at Apple Butter Makin' Days. If you live in the area you must put that on your calender for next year! That is the best time! Lots of great people, lots to do for the kids, and so many different kinds of crafts to look at. Oh! And the food-YUM!
I know after my last post of our home, you are probably waiting to see what we did next to our wonderful diamond in the rough! But I had to take time to tell you about my weekend. My next post will be about our home and our journey into making it beautiful. I promise! :)
So back to the craft show commentary. We sold lots of gorgeous pieces. Brought home only THREE! That was great! I'll put those pieces in a store here in Joplin. It's so funny, when I create a beautiful piece of furniture, it's like I have this connection to it. I know I'm creating it for my business, to make a living. But my heart gets all wrapped up in it. So when people buy my pieces, I tell them the process, show them all the details, tell them how glad I am they are taking "her" home. I'm sure they all think, "Ok lady your a little over the top! It's a piece of furniture for Pete's sake!" LOL!! But that's me! I can't help myself. They are all created with LOVE!!
