Sandy at The Olde Country Cupboard drew her winner at Midnight: there are two winners, they are Carmen C. and Starr Mountain Primitives. Congratulations to all the winners!
Here is Sandy's Giveaway for this week:

These Reindeer Feedsacks are filled with sawdust and would look adorable on a mantel or under your tree. Keep entering, and Sandy will be giving away one large one at the end of July. Sandy and Samantha want you to know that if you are having issues leaving comments or entering, PLEASE just email them. Here is a new freebie from Sandy:

Aren't they precious? I just love everything these gals create. They are really talented.
Samantha at Samantha's Accessories sells these adorable packages of Reindeer Chow every year at the Craft Shows and they are very popular:

See her blog for the complete tutorial on how to make these and also see her tutorials on making your own Soy Tarts for burning in your warmers.

Tammy from A Primitive Place has let us know that the team from Primitive and Folk Artist at ETSY is having a Christmas In July. To shop and find more info go to ETSY and do a search for PAFACIJ. Tammy says to make sure you check the "all items" category cuz there are vintage Christmas items, too.

I also want to take this opportunity to say a Big Thank You! to all of my followers who've been with me since the start of my blog, and the new friends that continue to join every week. I'm so thrilled that you all think I have something interesting to contribute. I know how busy everyone is, and I hope to have more original things to post and start having some items to showcase that we get made here at the shop.
Until later...(I'll be back cuz I think I forgot something)
Warm Regards,
Susan

Another Family Visit, Another Recipe Trial

Here is "Chef Bubba's All American Barbeque Recipe:

This is a spareribs recipe from the Fabric.com Blog that looks incredibly yummy. If you remember from my last recipes post for my company I had over the 4th of July I have my sister and her hubby due here on Tuesday from Indiana. I'll be making these and the Pulled Pork Barbeque Sandwiches and the Maple French Toast Casserole. I have some Salmon recipes for the grill on cedar planks no less, and in case of malfunction, I have recipes that go under the broiler (I try to plan for possible mishaps in the kitchen, can you tell I worry a lot?). I'll be putting those Salmon recipes on the blog after we decide which ones we're using. They all have different glazes and side suggestions and they look yummy.
I'm on a mission like crazy to gather inspiring recipes before Tuesday! Wish me luck.
Warmest Regards,
Susan
