~ A Beautiful Morning On Pumpkin Hill Farm ~

~ Sunrise On Pumpkin Hill Farm ~
                                        I hope you had a wonderful weekend! With coffee in hand, I watched the sunrise both mornings. The birds singing, sun burning the fog off the valley.  Simple pleasure, couldn't start my day any better. 
                                              ~  The apple trees are in full bloom. Don't you just love the sweet scent! I just can't get enough, it's happiness in full bloom! Wishing you a wonderful day full of simple pleasures :)  ~All My Best, Kimberly

~ Midnight Pumpkin & Pillow Tucks ~

                                   Hi, I hope you had a great week! The apple trees are blossoming & giving the air a beautiful sweet scent.  I've even seen a few bees, so nice to see them again :)  Here are my offerings for the PHM update you can click on this link to find more:  http://www.primitivehandmadesmercantile.com/p/the-red-cupboard.html   So many talented ladies on PHM. Hi, I've been asked what is a pillow tuck? I use the word " pillow tuck" for my needlepunch pillows. Needlepunch is using floss threads rather than wool for making my pillows, resulting in a smaller beautifully detailed finished piece, lots of handwork & time  involved. The finished needlepunch pillow is a great size to "tuck" just about anywhere (basket, bowl, shelf )instead of a big hooked pillow, hence "pillow tuck". I love having both hooked pillows in my farmhouse and  cozy pillow tucks to decorate throughout my farmhouse, fun :) Hope this helps you :) If you would like to place an order just give me an email with your request. I will then email you back with an invoice or let you know if the item is spoken for.  I take Paypal, personal checks (need to wait for them to clear) and postal money order. Wishing you a wonderful day!  ~All My Best, Kimberly
