more ornament projects

This is an old umbrella that no longer had any cloth but, the handle on it is just wonderful so it was saved and this is what we did to it with some more of the old ornaments. It has a stopper on it so that it does not open or close all the way and then it is ready to be hung over a table or in a window.

We took an old cake stand arranged some of the ornaments and put this

glass dome over it. Wonderful or a table center piece.

Working on Christmas projects

We have a collection of tree ornaments and we put our ideas to work coming up with projects to put them to best use. Some of these were even in their orginal old boxes (we saved those from the project pile)

Old bed spring used and we just spun the

ornaments into place they stay well without glue so that they can be moved around.

Pfarkel Sisters are having a Fall/Winter 'Junk' Boutique

We have started getting things set up for a Fall/Winter 'Junk' Boutique.

Weekends and Wine have been put to the test, we do get most of our work done before uncorking a bottle.

It will be starting this friday, November 7 and I am sure Thursday night will be a late one.

It will be held at the Victorian Lace Inn in St. Charles, MN on fridays and saturdays during the month of November from 9 to 5.

We have antiques, vintage, rustic and primitive wares, plus seasonal items.

Hope to see you here.

Sandy is out of quarantine

Sandy has made it to her winter home. Pfarkel sister Frannie had to move other toys out of the way to get Sandy inside and we did have to look for pasture for her. Then we had a Cowboy picnic to welcome her home.

Sandy has been getting ready for Halloween and the Pfarkel Sister's first fall 'Junk' Boutique. We will be hosting it at my place in St. Charles on the Fridays & Saturdays in November starting Nov. 7
