Primitive hoosier cupboard

Hey friends, just had to share with you another find. This hoosier cupboard is in Excellent shape. It was truly a lucky find. This oak cupboard has a white enamel top with black splatter on the edges. It is soooo neat. Come on down to Bloomers and see, you just might take it home.

Fabulous Dough Bowl at Late Bloomers

I just had to show you this great dough bowl I found at auction. It is long..probably 2' or so. It has one broken handle and has been mended with tin, which just adds to it's primitive charm. This is made of wood, not resin as some are. We carry the resin ones also, they are priced at between $28.00 and $32.00, reasonable for those that want the antique look with paying the antique price. This one on the other hand is priced for serious antique collectors. I think $125.00 is what we have it priced, unless of course you catch it during our holiday sales. Come on in and have a look. This would look great on your holiday table.

Late Bloomers

Hey friends of the Briar Patch ,I already told you about  my other shop in Argos, Late Bloomers right??Well...we are planning a month long Open House. We have packed the shop to the brim with holiday cheer! Come on by and celebrate the Magic of Christmas with us. We have a selection of hand made wreaths that will blow your socks off. Pick on of the ready-made ones or have Della make one to your specifications. We have holiday candles and lots of gift items to choose from. We carry everything from primitive pie safes and cabinets to pretty, frilly do dads. Come on in, you'll be glad you  did.

A new friend

Hey friends, just met a new friend on line. A great gal from Four Cedars Farms, from of all places Bell Buckle Tennessee. We are both Tennessee girls!! She has a great website you should check out. Thats how I stumbled across her, found out she has the same passion (obsession) for wonderful old quilts and other primitives. So much fun to talk to someone else with the same interest. Are there other primitive lovers out there??Hello.....

Summer treasures

Hey friends! Well summer is rushing by us, I hope you have had time to take your kids fishing, eat fair food and get your toes in the warm sand at some crowded beach. Enjoy it while it lasts. I just wanted to update you on the goings-ons at the Briar Patch. Even though you might think the flower gardens are all fried, I beg to differ!  The Russian Sage and the Black Eyed Susans are making a stunning show! The black eyed susans are in all their glory backed by the purple cloud of the russian sage, they are real show stoppers. The dinner plate Hibiscus are a hot pink, and would make a great addition to your garden. Come on out and pick up some of these beauties. While your here, help yourself to a bouquet of zinnias,  we plant a garden full of these beauties every year just to share with our friends and customers. Don't forget to check out the primitives we have for sale in our little red cabin. I tell you, it's a great day in the country and I would love to share it with you. Keep your eyes open in the next couple of weeks for our barn sale. Lots of goodies! An old porch swing,cabinets, a beautiful fireplace mantel. Lots of great stuff. Come on by, I might even let you shop early.

folk art show

Hey folks! The day of the show turned out to be a great one. Kinda rough weather the night before kept a few of you from coming, but thanks to all of those that left the mess Mother Nature left at your house to come and see us. The vendors were really great. We had some really talented artists on site. I was very impressed with the range of talent we had.

Tom Troxell's work really spoke to me. I fell in love with this painting right off. This is only one of many great works. Thanks to all my vendors for your support and patience. I look forward to seeing you next year.
