House of Henry Open House... first day over....

Happy Labour Day weekend, everyone..
It has been a very busy and hectic week around here.. I hope you noticed that I have not been blogging very much..smile..
I hope to get back at it next week..
My first day of Open House is over, thank you sweet Lord..
Now, I can relax and enjoy the rest of it.. It is all set up and all I have to do is to add to it as I get something finished or dug out..
There were a lot of people.. old and new customers and friends..
Here are a few pics of the shop..
Outside...

Some fall bears....

An olde mouse and an olde book.. I decided to make a craft out of the two of them..
This would look neat on a table somewhere...

Preserves sold like crazy today..
My best seller is still the Sweet Dills...
And I must say that the  recipe that I concocted with ginger and cukes is a next best... smile..

Stovetop Potpourrie in book pages..
I know I showed these before but I make them every time...


Sold the wind chime ...
Some wreaths .....

And a primitive poe chair...


Another wreath..
Outside sales.. smile.. Only the chair and birdhouse left...

I could have sold these if I had of wanted to but I had only stuck them together..
No glue or anything... Perhaps, next time...
I saw the idea on the web last year...

Sage and pansies just a bloomin'..

And my best seller of the day was the Lavender Fresheners...
So glad I made so many..
Salves sold really well, too..

Well, my dears that is all I can come up with for tonight..
It was good to see friends from home and thank you so much for all the sweet offers of help.. You Keepers of the Home are awesome.. Thanks .... I know you mean it, too...

And thank you  for dropping by.. I hope to get back in the groove soon .. I have some wonderful new ideas for you all..
Just as soon as I get a minute..
Fall is coming and now is the time to prepare for .............   smile.. I can't say the word or even type it.. I so love Summer and will even stamp my feet and cry to keep it here but to no avail...
Fall is in the air and I may as well accept it although the good part is that I will soon be back home..
Thank you, Jesus...
We love it here at the cottage but we also love to be home..
No place like it...

Tomorrow is the Lord's Day...
Keep trusting in Him...
He is precious...

Thanks for the lovely visit and I wait to hear from you..
Hugs..
