Greetings. I am enjoying a nice hot cup of cocoa on this chilly afternoon. I am told (by the weatherman of course) that it is going to be COLD here tomorrow with temperatures not getting out of the 50's....SO.....I do believe that tomorrow morning we will be starting our first fire of the season in our dear little wood stove. OH, I just can not wait!! I do so love a cozy fireOkay...we have some announcements..changes and happenings here at Vermont Harvest Folk Art to fill you in on.....first..I need to let my wonderful customers know that due to a scheduling conflict (family weekend at Kurt Ryan's College) I will not be able to attend the Walker Homestead Show in MA on September 25th. I feel just terrible about having to cancel the show with such short notice and I thank Kris & Doreen greatly for being such sweet & wonderful people and understanding completely.
So..this rescheduling has brought about some changes..... changes which I have actually been planning on putting in place for some time now...changes that I finalized during our much needed vacation...changes that....when I arrived home and realized the scheduling conflict..........made me realize....everything truly does happen for a reason....
SO....on to the announcements...Join me for
~A Harvest Haunting~

Okay...let's see..OH YES...
Tomorrow on The Primitive Gathering you will find;
This wonderful "Wee Shoe Pin Keep"..I just love this!!! It's made using a wonderful Walnut Ridge Primitives pattern...I am hoping to make a whole bunch of these to hang on the Christmas Tree..I think they would look so lovely as ornaments!AND;
~An Early Sheep~As you all know..I make several of these this time of year..I LOVE them!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And now for the Changes...I will no longer be running Early Work Mercantile. There is a lot of work involved in running a site such as this and I finally accepted the fact that I just can not do everything.....I knew I wasn't giving it 100% and that's just not me....so..I decided...again over vacation..that it was time to make some changes...
THANK GOODNESS...the WONDERFUL ladies of EWM understood ...THANK YOU LADIES...SO VERY MUCH FOR BEING SO FANTASTIC!!! I appreciate all of you more than you will ever know.
ALSO...THANK YOU WONDERFUL TINA OF THE BURLAP OWL PRIMITIVES who will now be taking over EWM!!! I am SO pleased that it will be able to stay open and continue to be a wonderful site for Early Works! And thank you again, to our faithful and fantastic Artists for staying and giving Tina a chance!!! She will do a fantastic job to be sure!!!
And now on to Happenings....now I know this is a ways off...however..I'm so excited I just can not keep it to myself..... We are planning a Home Show for next October!!! :)

12 delightful friends dropped in for a visit:
Sometimes changes are very good. They keep us on our toes and doing our best. I love your early sheep, and the home show sounds like such fun! Gosh, I wish I weren't so far away from you! Can't wait to see what you come up with for all your shows.
Blessings and bears hugs to you (and send a little cool weather out to Colorado, if you please)!

Thank you so much for your compliments..you are so very sweet!
Wishing you a wonderful day.
Hugs!! Doreen
Oh, Doreen- so much is going on with you right now! It makes my head spin- I can't imagine how you do all the things you do!! You are Superwoman!
I love all your pictures- I think the sheepies are the cutest things EVER!!
By the way, I can't believe it's already so cool and Fall-ish up your way... I'm jealous! (It's 87 here today! *WHEW!*)
Paula..I need to get right over to your site & pay you a visit..it's been FAR too long!!!
Thank you so much my friend for stopping by and for your sweet compliments.
Have a wonderful day

Oh - that is so exciting. I´ll definately come visit at your web show - yeahh :D
I´m so in love with the shoe pincushion - going to have a lookout for one

Doreen, I know you will be successful with all of your changes. Every now and then we have to re-evaluate what we are doing and where we are at, re-stock and move on! I know how it feels to be so busy you don't put your all into everything you are doing! Good luck with your new venture, we're behind you 100%!!
Good afternoon Tina :)Thank you..i'm so happy you can make it!!!
Kris...THANK YOU!!! It means SO very much!!! Hugs, D
I'm happy for you....that you have found a way to find relief...I sighed for you when I read this. I can feel your stress sometimes. I'm with you....We all must make things fit for us. You are truly a blessing in this world....what a talent and sweet heart you are !
Dru..you are so sweet!!! It has taken me a long time to realize...I just can NOT do everything..I need to slow down & take time for myself so that I can enjoy the things I chose to do! I must say though..you are the same way I am...you do way to much and I very often wonder how you do all that you do!
Hugs to you my friend :)Doreen
Hi Doreen, I've missed you. Glad you are back. I am looking for your blackend beeswax mice but I can't find them. Help Doreen.
Jan
Holy Moly lady can you get into any thing more! lol
Wonderful announcements - I will be looking forward to the Web Shows!
Karen
Hi Doreen! I've been wanting to visit when I first saw your post last week but I was trying to be good and get my work done for the show! Today is a "me" day...I'm finally reading all my favorite blogs and catching up. Also looking forward to a little baking and hopefully finally making your blackberry crisp!!! Can you believe I still have not had a chance to make it!
I'm so glad your making these wonderful changes in your life. It's always a relief when you just do it! It makes no sense in getting burned out, trying to do everything and not enjoying what you love anymore because it feels like a chore. Keep what's in your heart close and let the other things go:)
I'm looking forward to your webshows. I know they will be inspiring and a success.
Have a great day!
Fall hugs ~ Jenn
