Lavender Body Mist/ Room Spray


This product is as natural as you can get, pure spring waters with
the pure essential oil of lavender. It can be used as a Body Mist or
try some on linens or as a Room Spray.  Lavender can help
us distress after a long hard day. We introduced this product
last season and had great success.  It also makes a wonderful
gift!! Available in 2 sizes: 2oz. & 4 oz. spray bottle.

Rustic Patio Lantern


                                                                        
I love Lanterns, antique ones as well as old
looking reproductions. These rustic lanterns
are so versatile, they are great for porch displays
in the spring and summer
as well as seasonal decorations for
the holidays.
(Add a few fresh
greens and you have a great centerpiece.)

Primtiive Stitchery

"I Believe" Stitchery


A few years back, I was having a very hard time
trying to decide what path the Lord wanted me to
take. I decided to go for a drive up to a lakeside town,
I stopped by a quaint shop and found this sampler/stitchery frame.
It spoke volumes to me that day, I am so grateful to be offering
this stitchery. I hope it offers you inspiration as well.
It measures approximately 13" in height and about 14 3/4" wide.
The frame is a primitive brown.
