Baby Shoe Collection

One of my favorite collections is 

Baby Shoes

So many story's to tell in those

worn soles and tattered shoelaces

Leather toddler shoes, brown and white

The brown pair have traveled many miles as the soles

are almost worn off....

How many little one's wore those shoes, lots and lots....

Small baby shoes ... almost new 

child's white prayer book  and vintage hairbrush

These are my favorite...

brown baby shoes that have been bronzed

many years ago, as they are starting to flake

Bronze baby booties 

my first bronze addition

 Cute baby shoes tucked inside a strainer

My only pair of vintage high top button shoes

They are so hard to find for the right price

Bronze shoes...vintage white leather shoes...baby booties

This gathering is displayed in my "Shabby White Bathroom"

The wood rack was a thrift store find 

I painted it cream, added mustard yellow in some places

then put crackle paint over the mustard areas

sanded and distressed and gave a final coat of "old english"

Got to have a little Shabby somewhere....

First Anniversary Giveaway

My first year was filled with

New Friends~~

Primitive Topics~~

 Sharing your knowledge

gave me the insight and courage

to move beyond country and into the

wonderful world of Prim

Laughter and Tears~~

  Sharing our daily life experiences,

excitement from simple flea market finds,

sadness from losing something

or someone special...

What a difference a year makes~~

Ordinary days are magical days

Nothing special

but then again

Nothing tragic either

Thank You to all of my inspiring followers

As a special thank you I am hosting a giveaway

for all of my current followers

Please do not post this give away on your blogs or sidebars  
as this is just for you,

my dear primitive friends who have taken the time to follow along

All you need to do is comment on this post.

I will announce the winner one week from today
Wednesday, June 29

It has taken me awhile to put together a fun

handmade from the heart give away.

In fact it is still a work in progress....

First ~~A handmade tote/purse

Made from a red & cream ticking towel

We can all use  another tote for flea marketing!

The front pocket was made using a muslin bag from
Sullivan's Mill ~~ Silver Dollar City ~~ Branson, MO

The inside pocket has the recipe for
Hillbilly Cinnamon Rolls
from the backside of the Biscut Bag
 The tote is still a work in progress as I will be
adding a vintage trim around the top.

Now the surprises begin....
Inside will be loaded with lots of goodies.
Crow mug from the Molasses Collection
1776 Prim Flag
Fabric Stash

Cookbooks and Cookie Cutters
Their will be more....
But that will be a surprise for the lucky winner
As she unwraps all of her goods.

Wait ~~ there is more
There will be a second winner
and
A third winner
No tote, but some fun prim goodies, indeed.

 Once again, thank you, dear friends
 for taking the time to enter My Cabin
Where you never have to knock
The front door is always open


I also have to thank Mr B for

updating our server to high speed.

It was then, I could enter the world of bloging,

and meet all of you...
