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

I'm just partial to Santa's that's why I especially like these two. The "Father Christmas"-type ornament has the long robe and is super simple since he has no legs;the Santa Head ornament is made with glass glitter:

I am making mine with some vintage mica that I bought on EBay last year. It's never too early to start your Christmas items for sale and/or gift giving! Hope you all had a splendid 4th of July with family or friends.
