April Showers Bring New Arrivals

73 degrees yesterday and 48 today. Ahhh, springtime in Door County.
At least we have new items arriving to distract us from the weather.

Many of you know Kris Bengener who used to own Rugged Basics in Ephraim, she is now using her artistic skills, bringing us lovely necklaces. All kinds of metals and vintage items put onto lovely chains.

I found this vintage quilt. It's actually square, so I think it was actually made to be a table topper.


Score. For whatever reason this winter, I have been coming across white ironstone at great prices. Plates and wide rimmed soup bowls are only going for 5.00. I like to share when I've gotten a good deal.









This mug is not a repro. Neat!




I found this great old chair that only has the burlap left on it. Surrounded with Pine Cone Hill matelasses. Check out the ruffles on the table cloth.






Another wonderful "Kris" original.
Shoes!










Found a fantastic Underwood typewriter.

I wish I hadn't forgotten to rotate this card. We got some wonderful new cards in from Tokyo Milk.... this one says
"He's all that AND and bag of chips......"



Aren't we all?
I'll sure be glad to see you all again in the County.
The sooner the better!
