Fall is arriving in our neck of the woods. Late yesterday afternoon after we closed The Shop, Tim and I were enjoying some Porch Sitting. We looked across to the cornfield and noticed how the corn is starting to turn brown. Then past the cornfield we looked up to the mountain and the trees are starting to change from green to yellow and red. Oh, I do love this time of year! Yesterday was a cool day and I spent most of the day in the kitchen. When our Shop is open that is where you can find me. It is so easy to see when our customers arrive at The Shop....so I try to find things to do in the kitchen. Most of the time I am sitting at the kitchen table painting signs and other goodies for the Shop. I am always apologizing to our customers for the way I look...paint stained tee shirt and jeans....when I am dressed up and out in the community and I run into a customer..I am sure they don't recognize me..they are not used to seeing me "cleaned up". Yesterday I was not covered with paint stains but chicken broth stains...I made a BIG pot of homemade Chicken Corn Noodle Soup... Tim was busy in his workshop yesterday. He put together the pumpkin boxes after I painted and stained them...I love these...one of these days I need him to make one for me!

These are lighted pumpkin boxes. There is a clip light on the back of the pumpkin and they look so nice when lighted.

We had some special visitors in our Shop the other day. Two very special little boys came to visit..my great~nephews, Dillon and his little brother, Hunter. Dillon loves to get behind the counter and wait on our customers!

Uncle Tim holding Hunter..Hunter wearing Tim's hat!

Very rainy day here today..good day to eat some soup and paint and stain some signs. We are expecting some goodies from our good friend, Beryl. She has been busy making lots of Fall goodies for our Shop...I have a feeling the box may arrive today and when it does I will be taking pictures to share with all of you..I know once I put them in the Shop they will be gone in a flash. I already had a customer ask me to call her when the goodies arrive! I just love our customers and our crafters!

Thanks for stopping by our Porch and if you are in our neck of the woods please stop by The Brickhouse and say hi and see what is new....and don't be surprised if you see me with paint stains on my shirt!

The Brickhouse has lots of new goodies arriving almost daily. On Wednesday, Tim and I had a chance to meet one of our new crafter/friend, Carolyn from PA SOY CANDLE....she is SO NICE. Carolyn hand delivered our order of candles on Wednesday. We are so excited to have these awesome candles in our Shop. The candles are 100% pure soybean wax and they have cotton wicks. And they are made in AMERICA and not tested on animals....! Carolyn was so nice and we hope to have her featured on our Blog in the near future. Please stop by The Brickhouse and try these candles..you will love them!
Tim and I have been busy making signs and other wooden goodies. We had lighted pumpkin boxes but we sold all of them last weekend..guess what we will be making today?! I am hoping that Tim makes one for me! I love them and I never seem to get any of the goodies that we make!
Tim just finished a butterfly house for one of our customers. I need to paint it today and I will try to remember to take a picture of it to show you..Tim does such nice work!
These are some of the signs that we have available...we are working on lots more..so stop by and spend some time reading our signs...I love hearing the giggles and other comments when our customers stand and read our signs!
