December has arrived on the Bruce Pen..

Well , snow is piled high  on the steps of the LoftyLVS.. all items have been tucked in their places and draped with sheets for the long winter ahead...doesn't mean I have stopped .. I dug out my vintage spindle 3/4  wooden beds that I picked up last year at a country auction, once again my husband questioned  my reason for buying those, I don't have a use for them now! But I will find a way to up cycle and breath new life into these amazingly crafted spindle pcs.. So I calibrated with my brother and together we  reincarnation  them into a beautiful useful bench. I then plugged in my early! (Xmas present ) air pressure tank and upholstery gun and went to work making her a dress to drape  her fine lines...

So much snow.. Nowhere to go.. Except my workshop...

Hello folks.. I am back from a few vacations.. Visiting daughters, grandchildren.. And doing some thrifting, as may have noticed on Facebook page LOFTY LION VINTAGE SHOP  which I have been posting my finds and projects.. I took a walk to town to visit the shop, could not find the front door entrance, had to climb over and into snow to my knees to get in to the back door..The shop is wintering well so that was nice to see.. Hope the snow starts to melt in order to get in the front doors..
May long weekend is the timeline to open for weekend business.. I am working on a few furniture items which will be posted on  Instagram and Facebook once they are finished.. Until then stay safe and warm. Kathy

Another great summer !

So much for keeping up my blog... Now that the shop has been put to bed for the winter season.. It's time to start my hunting season... So, I am working on apply Instagram photos to my blog with my Western living daughter Julie.. I think we should have it working by tomorrow.. By just touching on the badge symbol off to the one of the blog... Try hitting on it... It should bring you to photos and adventures during the winter...

Another weekend of cold weather..

It seems spring is finding it difficult to appear.. Being a weekend after May 24 it is a little quite around the town.. But I did welcome some of my American Customers back, being it was their long weekend. My big black number chair has departed the shop to a good home. Which left a small space  in my black section of the store.. No worries.. I  just  went to my workshop where another piece was waiting.. Picture to follow.   . Today being Monday I decided a needed my girlfriend fix.. So off  I went first thing this morning for a day with my special Ya! Ya! Sisters of  twenty years.. They all are such great cooks and we all enjoyed a delicious lunch along with some great conversation.. These visits  always confirm what a lucky and happy life I have , and my special girlfriends play a big role in achieving this.. Thanks girl...
