"Anything Goes" Holiday Mixer GIVE-A-WAY!!

2011-12-07T08:42:00.010-07:00

This time of year means being kind
to everyone we meet,
To share a smile with strangers
we may pass along the street.
- Betty Black in "This Time of Year"

It is the personal thoughtfulness, the warm human awareness, the reaching out of the self to one's fellow man that makes giving worthy of the Christmas spirit.
- Isabel Currier

I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.
- "Ebeneezer Scrooge", in A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

I discovered the wonderful quotes above and wanted to share them with you. If each and every one of us could keep these in our hearts and mind everyday of the year, what a wonderful thing that would be!

To honor the quotes, I am having:

This means that "Anything" does "Go" on my selling blog to the winner! I am not giving away anything specific. I am letting the winner pick their item from any category on my blog. (links to categories at top of blog below header)

This Give-A-Way will start today, Wednesday, December 7th and go through Wednesday, December 14th.

So here's a peek at some other items I'll be offering at my selling blog.

(I apologize for constantly pushing back the opening date, but things have been hectic with doctor appts. with myself and my hubby and I need to make more crafts!! LOL!! I go on vacation mid-September and feel it best to open up the shop upon my return.)

Here I have 2 dishclothes tied up with jute, a rusty bell and prim aged hang tag. Also a dishtowel with a prim stitchery I did.

These will be offered on my selling blog in different colors and different sayings on the hang tags & stitcheries.

I actually made these for a Give-A-Way at Crow's Creek Primitives Primitive Gathering Forum Stay tuned for a link to the Give-A-Way to be posted via a graphic here on my blog!

Here is a small size grubby and grungy shoo-fly I did up. This particular one was done for a prim forum swap. I will be offering both this size and a larger size. Hang Tags will read different things, as you can see this one reads "Farm Life".

Rusty Tin Candle

2010-07-04T01:24:00.004-06:00

I wanted to share a candle I made for a Prim Swap I was part of. This is a recycled, old, rusty can that has Pink Aquolina Sugar as the scent.

The picture is of 3 ladies is their near knee-length swimsuits and the quote I found to go with it reads: "We swim because we are too sexy for a sport that requires clothes - Author UnKnown"

I will be selling a candle similar to this when I open this shop this month!

I've Returned Home!

2010-04-10T00:27:00.005-06:00

2 weeks ago we did the 5.5 hour drive from Salt Lake City, Utah....back to our home we left 2 years ago, in Boise, Idaho!

We are so thrilled to be back! Jim is healthy and doing great since his heart transplant that took place in Salt Lake on July 12, 2009.

Next week on Thursday we travel to Chicago to visit with family, we haven't been back to our home towns in Illinois in 3 years!

Then after coming back from that week long trip I will start primming and crafting to get ready to open my blog shop ShabbyKay Primitive's Sundries 'n Such sometime in May!

yay!!!

Another Peek At Future Products

2010-03-22T02:01:00.008-06:00

Just a couple more pics of examples of the fun, grubby, primitive candles I make that I will be selling on this blog when it officially opens for selling sometime in May.

My candles will come wicked or unwicked and will come in a variety of yummy prim scents you can choose from! The best, my candles are made from all recycled jars!

This first candle is grunged up with yummy nutmeg. The lid has been painted red and also has prim nutmeg added to it. The picture is of a little boy and girl in their best 4th Of July outfits. The little girl holds an American Flag. The quote I chose is "She's My Yankee Doodle Joy". A rusty wire decorated with rusty bells is wrapped around the candle jar's neck.

The 2nd candle shows an aged, poor depression era black couple. I think the pic sums everything up enough, so felt no quote needed for this particular candle. What a historical, touching picture. This candle jar lid was painted yellow and both the lid and jar nicely grunged up with a mixture of spices. I wrapped some tea-stained cheesecloth around the jar's neck and added rusty safety pins and bells.

As you will notice, it is very similar to the Give A Way I did last month. Here is the collection of my handmade prims YOU can win!

2 grunged up battery votives! I have grubbied these up with cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves! They look great in the dark!!

These hang tags have been primmed up with my coffee, vanilla and cinnamon mixture then baked!
The first tag is a depression era family, one of my favorite primitive subjects! They are standing outside their wooden shack that is propped on top of their vehicle.
The 2nd tag the winner will get is of an adorable little boy in a washtub being carefully watched over by his dad. The tag is outlined in prim X's and dots.

The grubby jar candles I make are all from recycled jars. I incorporate vintage photos and phrases then put the jar through a massive grunging process!

This jar candle is a small 6 oz jar & shows a cute black boy eating a piece of yummy watermelon. The quote reads: "Watermelon - It's a good fruit. You eat, you drink, you wash your face". The scent is Apple Jack 'n Peel....so good!!!

The candle has tea stained muslin wrapped around it with some rusty 'ol pins & a bell!

***PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A WICKLESS CANDLE....NO BURNING INVOLVED. FOR WICKLESS CANDLES (they are truly my favorite kind of candles!) YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE A SIMILAR TYPE OF BURNER AS ONE OF THE FOLLOWING.

I so apologize! But I guess we can't always depend on the technical world! We will be getting our computer back tomorrow after it being cleaned up and a new hard drive put in! Thankfully the old one did not completely crash, so I did not loose my files!

I apologize...I meant to have the info regarding the Give-A-Way posted yesterday, but our computer went on the fritz! I'm sooooooo mad! That of course is where all my pictures are to download about the Give-A-Way. And the Give-A-Way items are all nicely boxed just waiting for the winner's name to go on it's box!

I'm using my hubby's school laptop right now which has a mind of it's own and I so do not like it!

As soon as our computer gets up and running, I promise to post the info on the Give-A-Way! I worked all weekend on making the things that a lucky follower of this blog will get!

Sneak Peek of What I'll be Selling!

2009-12-19T10:49:00.007-07:00

Here's just a peek of the Primitive's I'm hoping to sell once I open my selling blog "ShabbyKat Primitive's Sundries 'N Such" in 2010!

GRUBBY CANDLE JARS
My grubby candle jars can come wicked or unwicked. These are one of my favorite things to make with the prim pics and fun or meaningful sayings I find.

Below are examples of the types of warmers to use with my wickless jar candles. The ones shown below can be purchased at COURTNEYS CANDLES, EBAY, CANDLE WARMERS & a variety of other stores.

PRIM FRAMED ART WORK
Vintage pics scattered with things such as rusty pins, wire, prim buttons, music note paper, etc. Each vintage pic with have a stitched saying included with it.

PRIM CUTTING BOARDS
Painted and distressed for that loved primitive look!

POOR BOY SHOO-FLYS
These are not made the conventional way for prim shoo-flys. These have their own unique style. Each shoo-fly will come with a grungy hang tag too!

PANTRY/PRAIRIE CAKES
Loaded with spices and baked to perfection for your prim display! Will come with grubbied up cheesecloth.

PRIMITIVE CHRISTMAS GLOW JARS
These are covered with my 'secret snow' recipe and will have rusty or painted bells, and glittered lids. Each jar will include a tealight.

PRIMITIVE HANG TAGS
A variety of hang tags to choose from that will be soaked in my coffee, vanilla and spices mixture. Below are examples of ones I have done already.

PRIMITIVE SUGAR CONE
Display this on an old plate or in an old bowl. Will come wrapped in aged cheesecloth and have a grubby hang tag.

In the Early Colonies, sugar was a very valuable commodity, available to only the wealthiest families. When used, small bits of sugar would be snipped with sugar nippers, or carefully scraped from the cone by the Lady of the house. In order to make the best impression for guests, sugar cones were often brought to the table displayed on a pewter plate or on the family's best pottery.

I also will be selling candle tarts which I love to make! There will be shapes of hearts, cupcakes, prim words, muffins, etc!

These are just some of the scents I will offer for both my tarts and my candles:
Apple Jack 'N Peel
Aquolina Pink Sugar
Banana Nut Bread
Grandma's Kitchen
Monkey Farts
Nutmeg Vanilla
Orange Chiffon Cake
Peach Cobbler
Punkin' Head
SnickerDoodle
Vanilla Walnut

Other items to watch for will be primitive distressed wooden spoons, grungy battery tealights, old fashioned oatmeal soap balls, prim stitcheries, ornies and primitive almond soap bar wraps!

2009-12-06T11:20:00.002-07:00

Hopefully I will open my selling blog come 2010!

I will be selling my yummy candles and tarts!

Other items I'm looking forward to making & selling are other primitives such as: Sugar Cones, Shoo-Flys, Primitive Framed Art, Prairie/Pantry Cakes and more!

Please stay tuned!
