...out of hibernation!!

it's been a long time.... but here I am again!! It was a busy fall/holiday season and now that we've had a little time to relax, we are back at it again, gearing up for shows starting in May and trying to keep our booth full at the KOUNTRY NOOK ..... whew! I thought this was the slow time of year for us crafters....lol...hasn't been so far!! Not that I'm complaining!!

Since I posted last, things have changed a bit. My middle son and my daughter have both moved back home, so gone is my reclaimed craft room...it's back to my daughter's room for now. So that means a lot of my 'stuff' has been packed away...lord knows where it all is....lol! But, with help of my hubs, we have carved out a little spot for me to paint & create. So, I'll make-do for now!


Have also had a little time to do some web surfing... and have been surprised to find that many of my fave prim sites are no longer...a sign of the times no doubt. I have even had a hard time finding some of my old wholesale suppliers..... guess it's time for a change anyway!

As far as Palmers' Primitives goes, Rick and I have also made some changes, deciding to go with everyday wares and forego the "valentine' and St Pat's Day", etc. We are also adding lots of new wood pieces and trying out some new, lighter colors. Still country, but on the lighter side...gotta get people thinkin' Spring after all!

We will posting some new pics on our FB page in a few days....be sure to check it out!!

Blessings!

About us.....

PALMERS' PRIMS . . . is my hubby Rick and I...




. . . Rick is great at designing; I just give him an idea and he will build it ...


. . . then I get to add the finish touches......


and I get to do my favorite thing of all ....DECORATE with them!!








Rick and I both come from a long line a crafters, learning at our daddys' (and mommas') knee. We have been crafting together now for over 10 years and are still loving it.

. . .We closed our storefront and website (Primitive At Heart) last year due to "not-enough-hours-in-the-day-to-do-what -we-need-to" syndrome. Life has been much simpler since then and hence. much more enjoyable! We now actually have time to enjoy our kids and 10 grandchildren; and actually enjoy each others company ... and crafting is fun again, now that it's not a 'need-to-do" thing!!


We still do several shows a year, but have cut back this year. We were trying to do too many last year...almost every weekend...and the quality of our goods suffered. We also have a booth at the local craft/gift mall. THE KOUNTRY NOOK, in downtown Pekin. We sell retail, wholesale and do special orders. Something you need? Contact us via facebook: Judy Palmersprims! Blessings!
