Last bit of shopping from Primitive Blessings and North Shore Primitives…

Happy Monday friends! I hope you all had a nice weekend!
I had a great weekend.  Went to the Gathered Treasures Show in Mansfield, Ohio on Saturday and saw so many beautiful prims I could barely contain myself! We got there pretty late. 2pm. but there was still so much left to see and drool over! I’ll post about Gathered treasures later. I still have to finish up last weeks trip!
So I wanted to show you the last little thing I bought. It’s a Honey and Me Bunny. Honey and me also makes the snowmen we are all so fond of. Jamie and I both got one of these little cuties at Primitives by Keith in Washington C.H., Ohio, about a block or so from North Shore Primitives. They don't have a lot, but the prices are really good. :) Do you remember my HUGE crow hanging on my Dining room door? That came from there too. If you go to North Shore Primitives spend some time walking around town. They have a lot of fun places to check out!
So any way…  remember the carrot I got from PB that Pam threw in to go with this gathering?
Hello cartoony carrot!

Well I replaced it with this more realistic one from NS.

Better right? And then I took the cartoony one and put it with the cartoony bunny! This guy. Who I forgot to take a picture of so I’m stealing this from what you are about to see below. Anyway… the cartoony carrot looks adorable with him. And he’s sitting in an enamelware strainer in the kitchen.

North Shore Primitives ~ Washington Court House, Ohio

Good Morning to my prim pals! It’s beautiful out today in Ohio! To bad I’m stuck sitting behind this desk all day crunching numbers. Blah! At least I have blog land to cheer me up! LOL!

As you know from yesterdays post about Primitive Blessings we took a shopping trip Last Saturday just South of Columbus!

Our point of that trip was to go to North Shore Primitives in Washington Court House, Ohio! I had been there once before last Christmas and it was just to die for so of course we had to go again! I am sure that this will be a 4 or more times a year trip for me and my shopping ladies. I just LOVE North Shore Primitives!

I’m sad to say that I have no pictures to share of the actual shop, there is a sign requesting no picture taking right as you come in the door… but please don’t think you aren’t going to get it see it. ;) I have a magic trick up my sleeve!

Even with the sign I would have asked if I could take pics, as I do on all my shopping trips, but I didn’t talk to Vicki, the wonderful owner, until a bit after we got there. I’m sure she wouldn’t have minded, she was really nice! So maybe next time I’ll ask her, because you know I’m going back!

If you want to find Vicki’s shop, and I know you do… here is the address.

North Shore Primitives
153 S. Hinde Street
Washington Court House, Ohio 43160

Go ahead… punch that into your GPS! I know you want to! I don’t care where you live in the good old US of A! You MUST make a trip to Ohio if nothing more than to shop this store! You can spend hours in there! Hours! 

So you want to see the inside of the shop?

Well all you have to do is go here for more eye candy than your pretty little eyes can handle!!!

I had so much fun shopping with my friend Jamie there! And getting to meet Vicki who was so nice and helpful!

I can not tell you enough that you just have to visit her shop! There are SOOOOO many treasures that you will never find anywhere else. It’s worth the trip from many many states away!

Vicki, I’m sure you are reading this and I want to say thank you for having us! It was a wonderful trip! Everything was so beautiful and it was such a pleasure to meet you! You know I will be back soon!

Everyone… make sure you stop on over to Vickie’s Blog http://northshoreprimitives.blogspot.com/ and say hello and make sure you tell her I sent you!
