Dear Peeps,

No, this is not the name of a new pet or a new friend. This is the name of a furniture maker who was in business from the mid-1800s to about 1920. Arkville, New York. They manufactured some amazing folding chairs. I was thrilled to find four of them on my recent trip to see my sister. I honestly do not know a lot about the company, but I am thinking it stayed in business by way of a son from his father. At any rate, these chairs are in great shape and are approaching 100 years old. They are perfect for the shop.



I have planted a few more flowers in front of the shop. I am really looking forward to making more birdbaths. The past few days have been very very spring like. We have had sunshine and warm weather!



A rusted shepherd's hook stands next to the store's steps. (Say that fast 10 times!)



Yesterday we had a sudden and considerable hail storm.



The hail started out small and got bigger over time. It lasted for about 6-7 minutes. Crazy!

I will start sharing recent new inventory! Hope everyone is well. Be thinking of my sweet mama who is in awful pain with her back.

Enjoy this day!

Lynn
