I'm so doing this backwards! I should have introduced Simple Dimple Primitives in the first post on here! Friends of the blogging world suggested I introduce my shop and go from there.So.....Simple Dimple Primitives is housed in a little red cottage that was built in the early 1950's to compliment the one room schoolhouse that sits across the road from our property. The cottage was used by the {3rd generation} farmers wife. She sold pies, jellies, jams and antique oil lamps. Odd combination of items to sell, but she also gave tours of the farm and told stories of the civil war to tourist coming to and from Gettysburg PA. Our home and cottage sit on the same property. Our home dates back to 1856. Simple Dimple Primitives does not have a website to sell items. Like the well known "brick & mortar" shops......we are "wood & wood"! We would love to have you come in and shop- get to know us!! Here's a little secret......Simple Dimple Primitives will be getting a "face lift" for 2010. The shop will be eliminating it's vintage collection and focus strictly on early antiques, reproductions and primitives. Our creator Jeanne Wagman will be designing primitive dolls, wool penny wheel table runners, dresses and holiday items just to name a few. We will continue to carry Ware Wear Jewelry by M.H. . Simple Dimple Primitives and "friends in the business" partner The Gardener of the Owl Valley will come together in 2010 to host events!
So....backing up to that "little secret", we will be having a huge sale before Simple Dimple Primitives goes into hibernation for the season. We will close our doors for winter the last weekend of November. The sale will start this Saturday October 17th and run until October 23rd. You may e-mail me for more information regarding the sale.
Lastly, I would like to thank my husband- Brent. Without him Simple Dimple Primitives would still be dancing in my head.....now I'm dancing inside of Simple Dimple! He believed in me, even at my worst. He's my business advocate, accountant, guide, teacher.......well, you get the picture. Many days when I felt like surrendering the cottage to my teens for a summer fun house.....yeah, what the heck was I THINKING!
Brent continued to encourage me to keep moving on with my dream. Love him!!
Many thanks go out to my good friends & family- LeeAnn, Jeanne,The "O sisters" {Patty & Sharon},Michele & Kathy. And my inspiration came from such blogs as Barn House, Queen of Tarte and Ms. Ember of The Painted Chair. Thanks Ember!! : )
Judy Bono -owner of The Gardener of the Owl Valley......thank you for coming with me on this ride!
And last.....to my dear "E".....you are such an inspiration to me. I love you.
Phew.....so, do I get the Oscar to go along with my thank you speech?!
Have a happy week!!!!
To end our Halloween night it was Trick or Treat for the wee-one. New Oxford is known for it's beautiful historic homes and antique shops. This display out front of the Center Square Antique Center just caught my eye. Beautiful!
This photo is the Halloween display at The Gardener of the Owl Valley. Owner Judy Bono- will be hosting a wonderful event on October 31st, Saturday {Halloween Day} from Noon until 4:30. Plenty of surprises and treats as you follow her woodland trail. It's a chance to take your little goblins out and for you to enjoy the outdoors. Her shop is filled with a great selection of home decor items, gifts, jewelry and more! 
I've been told that it's pretty hard to find Simple Dimple Primitives while driving {the speed limit I'm sure!} on Lincoln Highway-West. So I decided to post a picture of the sign- with the big gray cat. You really can't miss the cat. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that a much larger sign will be approved by our township supervisor {aka "The Man"} .....my husband and I know the perfect spot for a new sign.....one you can't miss no matter how fast or slow you are driving!
More treasures from our Fall Harvest Event. We couldn't have asked for more perfect weather and a great group of shoppers!
Finally getting the hang of this "blogging" stuff!
