One of my favorite times of the year...digging in the dirt & planting something new to my garden! I adore the picture above...it was taken several years ago by Obscura Photography (a local studio her in Germantown)...they would often stop by the shop to see what new props I had for them...I miss that...this picture includes some items they bought from me for their Spring specials that year! Cute as it can be!<br /><br />Speaking of cute! Here's a pic of me & my girl before her Spring Dance this year! I don't normally share personal family photos...but, we had such a special time! Yes, only in middle school & already looking DOWN upon Mom (even with Mom in HEALS)!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7ObjVPOO0tBKxyx6Cjt487I_m0f7GPUTS9gjIr4sw0SxSaLsPAclb_Fr-qz9uox1R2VLeI3ZNSWYZUltEimVu6w2ehFwR55Zs4hYUyxleHcOZtDTDQKU7dIKLFVH_hJDb0Eisr0ugdhM/s1600-h/Brooke's+%2710+Spring+Dance+011.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7ObjVPOO0tBKxyx6Cjt487I_m0f7GPUTS9gjIr4sw0SxSaLsPAclb_Fr-qz9uox1R2VLeI3ZNSWYZUltEimVu6w2ehFwR55Zs4hYUyxleHcOZtDTDQKU7dIKLFVH_hJDb0Eisr0ugdhM/s320/Brooke's+%2710+Spring+Dance+011.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450928449875710834" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV7a_ww6uxO_ZTxFAjWDKeYZw_2fFy4_xEaaNLxswoa6aQa1Sk1uWBFs8ESG6hK_m6wZ_Yi5o5p22KIQ-kbm4K7766j_R3qrznQoGPLvdu1c8tP92JtnlPbbtq1rtrRjfVzBP0EMWJN2I/s1600-h/Brooke's+%2710+Spring+Dance+023.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV7a_ww6uxO_ZTxFAjWDKeYZw_2fFy4_xEaaNLxswoa6aQa1Sk1uWBFs8ESG6hK_m6wZ_Yi5o5p22KIQ-kbm4K7766j_R3qrznQoGPLvdu1c8tP92JtnlPbbtq1rtrRjfVzBP0EMWJN2I/s320/Brooke's+%2710+Spring+Dance+023.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450929325681328322" /></a><br /><br />Here's the whole gang...Mom's & sisters included!

BALL AND SKEIN!! :)<br /><br />I'm so excited & I know she is too! The yarn shop <bBall and Skeinb> is now officially moved in and ready for business! Susan has done a wonderful job displaying all of her fine yarn, wool, knitting needles & other merchandise. Her decor & merchandise fit so nicely with the decor I had in the shop! It's such a great look! So if you're a knitter...you've gotta stop in to see her NEW location & gobs of yarn. It's bubbling from every nook & cranny! She offers patterns for sale too & has many completed items on display...she even spins her own yarn! She's open Wed. - Sat. from 12 - 5:00 p.m. and hosts a "Knit Night" on Thursday's...staying open til at least 9:00 p.m. They all seem to have such a great time...if I was a knitter...oh my...I'd be right in there with 'em! <br /><br />Check out her link "msknits"...you'll find it in my favorites!<br /><br />Happy Spring!Jailhouse Primitiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733172739620586166noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014511289630076868.post-41450277612685154842010-02-16T07:40:00.003-05:002010-02-16T08:04:55.519-05:00Where have you been?Seems I've dropped off the face of the Earth! Not true! LOL<br /><br />I've had lots of folks wondering what I've been up to...well...here's <em>some</em> idea! BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!!!! Closing the shop was quite an ordeal! Just liquidating merchandise was a long process, then it was off to prepare the house for a rental once again! That entailed painting, cleaning, installing a shower stall, yard work, installing a hot water heater & so on & so on! Seemed it took forever since it was already rented <em>prior</em> to liquidating the merchandise!!! Whew...after we got that finished the new renters moved in...OMG...what a nightmare! Literally! After moving out in the middle of the night (only being there for 5 weeks!) they totally destroyed the place! Seriously...they're kids colored on the walls, they never hooked up their dryer vent to the outside exhaust, left an overwhelming amount of GARBAGE throughout the entire house, left furniture, dirty diapers on the floor, milk on the walls, spills in the hall, half eaten boiled eggs on the floor....I'm really NOT joking! I was in tears! Months of hard work for a spotless, "move-in ready" home for a family...down the drain! I truely could not believe someone would not have any more pride in themselves than that. Such a mess. We have now gotten that cleaned up AGAIN...and it is rented once more. I'm very excited about our new renter and certain we won't have to deal with this again for quite some time! I'll reveal who will be moving in in March! I think you'll all be as excited as I am!<br /><br />Between all of that...we celebrated Christmas (which was wonderful & prim as usual...I think I gained 30 lbs from all the baking I did!), DH graduated from his HVAC program & found employment (wooo-hooo), I caught up on my deep cleaning & organization (so badly needed), closed the books to the shop (what a relief to have that behind me..yeah!) & have been enjoying the kids on all these snow days we've been having! Holy Cow have we had some snow this winter! Man am I grateful for 4 wheel drive! I would have been stir-crazy! LOL<br /><br />NOW....I'm helping my sister with her cleaning business! Check out her blog broom-n-bucketcleaning.blogspot.com! I've also added a short note in a gadget if you want to take a peek! We've been steady at it & business is good! There are a few days still available if any of you gals need a hand! Gaps are slowly filling in though...give us a call if you need some help with Spring cleaning, graduation parties, etc. Mention you saw her on my blog & receive ONE HOUR OF FREE CLEANING SERVICES!!!<br /><br />Hope everyone's holidays have been blessed! Mine sure have! I'll be posting more often now that I'm somewhat caught up around here! Take care prim pals! Til next time....Many blessings, MissieJailhouse Primitiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733172739620586166noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014511289630076868.post-62426097095043809322009-12-14T23:45:00.002-05:002009-12-14T23:46:19.864-05:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K16SEmYJwNUJailhouse Primitiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733172739620586166noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014511289630076868.post-6686176127594607262009-11-18T17:04:00.001-05:002009-11-18T17:05:56.531-05:00Happy Thanksgiving!Just wanted to wish you all a Blessed Thanksgiving!<br /><br />Take care, MissieJailhouse Primitiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733172739620586166noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014511289630076868.post-54913971709690569452009-09-10T11:57:00.004-04:002009-09-10T12:08:43.450-04:00GARAGE SALE NEXT WEEKEND!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH9I4s7YzhZqP9ZmginFaJD9Vl9nCdMH2JrQWa0oQ3ff_aFTSBBLUiFrQ8-q8q1qua9YBlKgnekqg_xQjlsCFMOFQZZ7m1QsLcU2s_zoHj4iDCyr8PLEwk5RzIzoYb4fWNQy-QDiB2FBc/s1600-h/Garage+Sale.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379869316607565458" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 112px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 121px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH9I4s7YzhZqP9ZmginFaJD9Vl9nCdMH2JrQWa0oQ3ff_aFTSBBLUiFrQ8-q8q1qua9YBlKgnekqg_xQjlsCFMOFQZZ7m1QsLcU2s_zoHj4iDCyr8PLEwk5RzIzoYb4fWNQy-QDiB2FBc/s320/Garage+Sale.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>YOUR TREASURE AWAITS........</div><div> </div><div></div><div>I'm having a Garage Sale at the Shop to liquidate the residual inventory left over from closing & non-primitive items as well!</div><div> </div><div></div><div>My sister will be adding a few items of her own...large wood office desk, a primitive table, etc. Who knows what we might come up with!</div><div> </div><ul><li><div align="center">Wednesday, 9/16 10 - 4 p.m.</div></li><li><div align="center">Thursday, 9/17 10 - 4 p.m.</div></li><li><div align="center">Friday, 9/18 10 - 5 p.m.</div></li></ul><div align="center"></div><div align="center">No early birds please!

This is a cheap and easy solution for removing ink from skin. As a bonus, it also kills germs. Great idea now that school is back in session!!!!</li></ul><p> </p><ul><li>Here's a way to put your cell phone to good use: create an entry named "License Plate" in your contact list. Enter your license plate number and you will have that information at your fingertips. This is great info to have at hotel check in, or in the unfortunate event that your car gets stolen. Having that entry could be the difference between a quick recovery and a never-ending hassle.</li></ul><p> </p><ul><li>Use an old golf bag to store my brooms and mops. Its deep pockets hold dust rags and a dust buster, and you can hook a spray bottle on the top edge. The bag makes a handy cleaning caddy and it stands easily in the corner out of the way!</li></ul><p> </p><ul><li>Never use expensive commercial septic cleaner. Septic system installers recommend flushing three packets of yeast down a toilet once a month to keep the septic in great condition. Yeast is the key ingredient in the commercial solution. Buy the cheapest three-pack of yeast you can find (quick-rise or regular) and flush it down one toilet every month. </li></ul><p>Have a great day!</p>Jailhouse Primitiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733172739620586166noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014511289630076868.post-17575578019515804652009-09-03T09:18:00.013-04:002009-09-03T09:56:14.253-04:00<div>Well....Fall is arriving quickly...so I thought I'd get a few Spring/Summer pics in I've been meaning to post! <br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377238212675645282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPmOmd3mcGLFZud_EC7c2TWhAe7VJ3pGToDK8hZmZAG1bfLmBDcF9o0FLeIpAbQ_AShthliWw7gmm25aTPOmVJW2fzOrqT8YViRu-JULl55Ggsidabb8YVqvHajqTMHmVvBKKtK8WVhcc/s320/Papaw's+b-day-covington,+ky-tyler%27s+explorer+014.jpg" border="0" /> <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div></div><div>This is a picture of the lil' mini pond we put in last Spring next to our patio.

My mind races as I attempt to keep business & home running!! So...needless to say I'm a little late posting this! Our closing weekends have been soooooo extremely busy & by popular demand...we'll be OPEN AGAIN THIS WEEKEND! I had hoped last weekend would be our final weekend & we could move on to remodeling (once again) for the next renters, however...there's soooo much stuff that just keeps popping up from the wood work & garages!! Seems it will never <em>ALL</em> be gone! Guess I've just collected too much for too long!!! I've had several phone calls, emails & off hours shoppers...so I just don't see how it's possible. So..<strong><em>this weekend will again be 50% off</em></strong>!! Well be open <strong><u>Friday, August 7 & Saturday, August 8 from 10 - 6</u></strong>!!! Stop in for a great bargain! We're deal'n!<br /><br />Last Saturday we cleaned out the garage behind the shop, so if you weren't in last weekend, you may find some NEW things this weekend! I just keep dragging things in! HONESTLY...were did I have it all? My sister (who's helping me with these final days) is just about to choke me!<br /><br />The sales have just been awesome! Seems folks are very appreciative of the deals they're getting & ohhh so very sad we closing :( Seems I forget myself!!! Picked up a few prim wares today & geez...for the first time I have "buyers remorse"! I didn't think that was possible!!! Suppose today proved I'm a <em>junkie</em>!!! I just <em>can't help myself</em>! LOL When I find a truely unique, prim goodie I just can't resist!! I tried to fight back....LOL...but lost! I don't know what makes me think I can stop....I love this old stuff...and always will...guess I'll be holding some annual garage sales when it's all said & done! 'Cause I'll <em>have to</em> dabble some way or another! <br /><br />Will try to share pics of my finds at a later date! Just too tired to get any yet this evening, but I'll give ya a hint....I got the most awesome umbrella, sounds weird I know, but it's an umbrella made of advertising feed sacks!!! It is the kewllllest thing I've ever seen! I believe these were used many years ago by farmers to shelter themselves from the sun as they drove their tractors! It's really awesome! Also picked up some choppers, a strawberry carrier, some mini crock bowls, nut grinders, a wood kraut masher (huge ~ which I intend to use next year!), and a few other goodies!<br /><br />Well...my cash counter is gone, the candle shelving DH built me is sold too! Sad in a way! Looks so bare now compared to how it use to look...packed full! But, there's still lots of great prim stuff to pick from!<br /><br />Hope to see you this weekend!Jailhouse Primitiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733172739620586166noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014511289630076868.post-88460282533175067442009-07-27T01:15:00.004-04:002009-07-27T01:28:35.301-04:0050% OFF STOREWIDE ~ FINAL DAYS!!!<div align="center">As many of you may already know...this coming weekend will (hopefully) be my final weekend! I'll have the shop <em>OPEN</em> <strong>Wed. - Sat. from 10 - 6 each day</strong>!</div><br /><div align="center"><strong><u>EVERYTHING IS 50% OFF!!</u></strong></div><br />A lot of the merchandise that sold last weekend isn't due to be picked up until Wednesday, some even on Saturday... so it may take me several days to consolidate the goodies from the other 2 garages! I plan to drag it all out <em>before</em> Wednesday! <br /><br />We still have plenty of old doors, shutters & windows if anyone is looking for these items! Although I have 2 serious buyers for the Antique Pie Safe & 12' Harvest Table...they ARE still available at this point...so if you want'em...you better come'n get'em!!!!<br /><br />I also still have the 8' Grapevine Tree, Antique Wood Wheel Barrow, Antique Glider, Misc.

We had folks knocking down the doors beginning Wednesday!!!! Fortunately I was doing some cleaning & dragging down stock from upstairs...'cause I wasn't even open! <br /><br />In addition to many other great customers, I had the pleasure of meeting Sherry Rexrode & her husband (of Dusty Teasures) who just happened to be taking a trip she'd laid out from the Mercantile Gatherings Magazine! I'm not sure where they'd been or where they were headed...but I'm certainly gald I was at the shop when they stopped!!!! My sister & I had the BEST time chatting with these folks for hours...genuine, good hearted people!!! We had such a WONDERFUL time!!! I can't wait to visit her shop in PA!!! As soon as I finish the loose ends here...I'm on my way to PA! If you live in PA or plan to visit, her address is 1922 Oxford Rd, New Oxford, PA 17350. She's open Sat's 10 -5 & Sun's 12 -5! If you can't stop by to see they're adorable shops (yes, I said "shops" ~ there are 3 on her property!!), visit her website at: <a href="http://www.dustytreasures.com/">www.dustytreasures.com</a>! I did! It's adorable!!! She was also gracious enough to share pictures with us! WOW! We really enjoyed your visit, come back anytime!!!!<br /><br />Thursday was also another day set aside for "clean up & consolidating"...and again...many more sales!!!!<br /><br />Then.....Friday & Saturday was SO BUSY IT'S A BLURR!!!!!!! Thanks to everyone who dropped by for all those great deals!!! I was able to help a new shop owner with loads of start up mercandise & display pieces, which was also great for me! Sold many, many, many (a van load) to another gal opening a booth in an antique mall! Good luck ladies! I'll be by to check you out! Thanks sooooo much!<br /><br />We have many more items left & will be working hard to consolidate additional items from 2 more garages!! So...don't hesitate to stop back in as we SELL OUT & FILL BACK UP!!!<br /><br />Hope your weekend was as blessed as mine!Jailhouse Primitiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733172739620586166noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014511289630076868.post-87463298901951096042009-07-21T17:05:00.004-04:002009-07-21T17:17:02.997-04:0050% OFF SALE THIS WEEKEND!!!!Ok...first...I'd just like to say I LOVE my new template designed by Deb's Lost Treasures!!!!!! Thank you...Thank you...Thank you! It matches my eBay Template too! I just can't say enough great things!!!!!<br /><br />Where have I been???????? Wow...it seems forever since I've posted!!! I've been so incredibly busy winding the shop down to a close, I've really had to force myself to stay <em>focused</em> & not "blog" & actually do some serious work!! LOL<br /><br />On that note...I wanted to let everyone know that <strong>this weekend (July 24 & 25) the Scentsible Scents Candles & Grapevine Trees will be 20% off & the remainder of the shop is 50% off!!!!!</strong> My <em>target date for closing is the last weekend of July</em>!!!!! If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call! At this point, I <em>cannot</em> hold items for pick up unless they are paid for in full...and, the final 2 weekends are <strong><em>CASH ONLY</em></strong>! I hope this doesn't cause anyone any inconvenience, but at this point it's hard to justify the credit card fees, etc. Hope to see you all in the next couple of weekends!!! <br /><br />Thanks again for your support, we have truely appreciated your business! Many of you have expressed such dissappointment & I will honestly miss you all!<br /><br />Till next time....Missie :)Jailhouse Primitiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733172739620586166noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014511289630076868.post-26953023309481720532009-06-17T23:34:00.002-04:002009-06-17T23:42:22.359-04:00ChEcK uS OuT oN eBaY!!!!<div align="center">I'm up & running on <strong>eBay</strong>!

I have loved having the store...having great handmade vendors and wonderful customers....but letting go of it will give me more time for home, creativity and such. A closing date has not been set yet. We'll be having a 20% SALE on the following dates, so stop by for early pick'ns! Grapevine Trees & Scentsible Scents Candles are 10% off, everything else is 20%!<br /><br />Friday, May 29 ~ Saturday, May 30 from 11 - 4 p.m.<br />Friday, June 5 ~ Saturday, June 6 from 11 - 4 p.m.<br /><br />My Mom and I will then transition to selling online, and I will continue to peddle larger primitive wares from home. Once we transition to selling online you can continue to purchase our wares through eBay. Jailhouse Primitives' eBay Seller Name is <strong><u>"jailhouse*primitives"</u></strong> and my Mom's Seller Name is <u><strong>"mamawscozycupboard".</strong></u> More will be available online for purchase as we finalize the closing of the shop.<br /><br />I will continue to post on Jailhouse Primitives' Blog to keep you abreast. You can continue purchase your Scentsible Scents Candles at the shop and they will be available, as usual, on the Jailhouse Primitives' Blog. You can continue to contact me via email or the shop phone number.<br /><br />We would like to thank you all for your business over the past 4 years. It has been a great experience and a pleasure to do business with you. Thank you for letting us share our love of primitives with you and for you sharing your passion and knowledge with us.<br /><br />The best part of owning the shop has been the people we have had the chance to meet. We know of no other industry where such strong ties are built with their customers, it truly has been special. Stories were told and friendships born. We have been blessed many times over. We have memories galore that will last a lifetime. Things that make us laugh, and things that make us cry, things that just plain make us wonder - all part of the wonderful experience that has been Jailhouse Primitives.<br /><br />Be encouraged to continue shopping with us and making memories. Until we meet again. . . .<br /><br />Blessings<br />Cecil & Missie PhelpsJailhouse Primitiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733172739620586166noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014511289630076868.post-69514350937470205822009-04-30T15:23:00.004-04:002009-04-30T15:37:49.242-04:00How to Protect Your Email Address Book<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDFft4UBASWRuT5PMCohBHkgbEXhGH5tzQPoS2N3niRZMQhIW2PhfmWSATVmZH8UuuyYy6tCcvENf1GYaVsilxZfdIBTSnMeAFyoyWFZUoeKDdxfb40NLNbMf02FZR-GrI7l1BA3Y-d_c/s1600-h/comp+worm.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330570835055658114" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 123px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 82px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDFft4UBASWRuT5PMCohBHkgbEXhGH5tzQPoS2N3niRZMQhIW2PhfmWSATVmZH8UuuyYy6tCcvENf1GYaVsilxZfdIBTSnMeAFyoyWFZUoeKDdxfb40NLNbMf02FZR-GrI7l1BA3Y-d_c/s320/comp+worm.jpg" border="0" /></a> <em><strong>Not sure if this works OR not</strong></em>, but it's worth the try! I received this in an email...How to protect your e-mail address book.<br /><br />As you may know, when/if a worm virus gets into your computer it heads straight for your email address book, and sends itself to everyone in there, thus infecting all your friends and associates.<br /><br />This trick won't keep the virus from getting into your computer, but it will stop it from using your address book to spread further, and it will alert you to the fact that the worm has gotten into your system.<br /><br />Here's what you do: First, open your address book and click on 'new contact,' just as you would do if you were adding a new friend to your list of email addresses. In the window where you would type your friend's first name, type in 'A'. For the screen name or email address, type AAAAAAA@AAA.AAA.<br /><br />Now, here's what you've done and why it works: The 'name 'A' will be placed at the top of your address book as entry #1. This will be where the worm will start in an effort to send itself to all your friends. When it tries to send itself to AAAAAAA@AAA.AAA, it will be undeliverable because of the phony email address you entered.<br /><br />If the first attempt fails (which it will because of the phony address), the worm goes no further and your friends will not be infected.<br /><br />Here's the second great advantage of this method: If an email cannot be delivered, you will be notified of this in your 'In Box' almost immediately. Hence, if you ever get an email telling you that an email addressed to AAAAAAA@AAA.AAA could not be delivered, you know right away that you have the worm virus in your system. You can then take steps to get rid of it!<br /><br />Pretty slick huh?<br /><br />If everybody you know does this then you need not ever worry about opening mail from friends. DO IT NOW and pass this on to all your friends.Jailhouse Primitiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733172739620586166noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014511289630076868.post-33076807793654806392009-04-23T18:46:00.004-04:002009-04-23T18:54:24.332-04:00Fly Screens!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOYG-zEZIc-dU6Wu8HeWRVOk9LIBM35JNuXfU1NZebjIhyphenhyphenetVQ9zJjJJ7iK7-UMAB2Z8OR1Jxf02_74_zsRU1dL8lCNY6Ye32b2YettIUp0bbBFDGH5bE5Y6bUvJW6ytGDRXFjKP06lfE/s1600-h/Brooke's+Cast+053.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOYG-zEZIc-dU6Wu8HeWRVOk9LIBM35JNuXfU1NZebjIhyphenhyphenetVQ9zJjJJ7iK7-UMAB2Z8OR1Jxf02_74_zsRU1dL8lCNY6Ye32b2YettIUp0bbBFDGH5bE5Y6bUvJW6ytGDRXFjKP06lfE/s320/Brooke's+Cast+053.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328023038725295730" /></a><br />I mentioned these really kewl Fly Screens in a previous post & I've had LOADS of requests to see the pics....here it is!!!

I always walk away with at least 1 good idea if not many, many more! So...last week when I received my May issue I waited until that perfect opportunity for ME TIME...I was not disappointed! I wanted to share, if you haven't already seen it, the History of Mason Jars. I found it to be very interesting, I guess because I use them for so many different things in most every room of the house! <br /><br />Here's what was printed: Used for canning pickles and sipping iced tea, these wide-mouthed jars have been kitchen mainstays ever since the Ball Corporation began producing them in 1884. Even now, the company continues to make 585,000 Mason jars each day.<br /><br />1858: John Mason invents the first canning jar with a screw top: his patent expires in 1879, opening the market to competition.<br /><br />1884: Brothers Frank, Edmund, George, Lucius & William form Ball Brothers Glass Manufacturing in New York State and start making Mason jars. The company moves to Indiana three years later.<br /><br />1909: The first <em>Ball Blue Book</em>, a primer on home canning, is published. (An updated version can be purchased at freshpreserving.com)<br /><br />1918: The Ball brothers bequeath a small college in Muncie to the state of Indiana; the school is later renamed Ball State University.<br /><br />1933: The Ball Company does not lay off a single employee during the Great Depression. (Would that be great if that were the case in today's economy!)<br /><br />1972: After 88 years as a family-owned business, Ball goes public.<br /><br />2009: The Ball Mason jar clebrates its 125th Anniversary. An exhibit, Can It! 125 Years of the Ball jar, can be viewed through August 23 at the Minnetrista Cultural Center in Muncie, Indiana. Visit minnetrista.net for details.<br /><br />One idea I walked away with was the use of a back yard branch perched in a jar to use as a clever jewelry holder for necklaces & earrings! Just so happened I had a bundle at the shop! Guess where it's headed tonight!<br /><br />I was thrilled this week when I found a skeleton key necklace while out shopping & picked it up! Usually something I would never spend the money on...What a cool accent I thought to where to the Jailhouse on work days! Well...according to Country Living the "skeleton key" look in necklaces is IN for Spring! I was shocked...I was actually a step ahead of dressing in style & didn't even realize it...this never happens! I'm usually covered in paint, sanding dust or DIRT!!! LOL I'm always <em>into something</em>! My kids are embarrassed to be seen with me half the time!!!<br /><br />Loved the sterling silver mirrors arranged on the bathroom wall above the sink! Guess what I'll be collecting now? Can't wait to get out & start searching!<br /><br />Did you see the clever uses for an old hand rake? They showed one suspending stemware near a stocked bar, a tie rack & a letter carrier! Really neat ideas!<br /><br />This magazine makes me want to tear my house UP! Have a BIG RE-DO PARTY! Yard & all!!!! Good thing the weather is finally nice...I NEED OUTSIDE! Want to do some transplanting & hopefully get my back porch painted & redecorated this year! Picket fence needs a new coat of paint too!!! LOL There's never an end...but that's OK...I LONG FOR WARM WEATHER to be able to do just that! No to mention the garden!<br /><br />Have a great day!Jailhouse Primitiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00733172739620586166noreply@blogger.com2
