New Christmas Items

So this may sound crazy but I still keep adding new Christmas items to the store weekly and daily when I'm really motivated!
Stop on in because you never know just what you'll find for someone on your list or your home.
My mom also wanted me to add that she is a bit behind this year so she also continues to bring Christmas items in too!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wishing you a bountiful Thanksgiving and a blessed time with your families!
Kendra & Co. will be closed on the 27th. We will be open again on Friday the 28th from 10-4:30 pm.

Thanksgiving Diet Tip:
Eat a chocolate bar before your meal. It will take the edge off your appetite and you'll eat less!!! Okay so that tip is good anytime besides chocolate has preservatives and preservatives make you look younger!

What a wonderful day at the store! I want to thank the two fun women that stopped in today from Mukwonago, WI. They were so fun and enjoyable. True prim lovers!

On my days off I will be making more black prim dinner candles, chicken feeders with goodies inside and much needed fall items. I can't get over all the fall items that have sold in the last 2 weeks. Until Wednesday...

Hidden Treasures Visitor's Guide

Forgive me for not writting in awhile, but life has been just crazy busy!

I've been getting the store ready for fall and I think it turned out very nice! I've also been taking lots of pictures. So as soon as my daughter (15) shows me how to upload the photos without taking them off of my camera I'll get them on for you to enjoy right away. Technology and teens, thank goodness for both of them!

My family and I just returned from a nice vacation up north to Hayward, WI. A vacation just wouldn't be a proper one if there wasn't any shopping involved. So that's exactly what I did! I visited many great stores and came back with some awesome new treasures for the store. This pew bench isn't one of them but I just had to share it with you. As you can see it is black and measures 32" wide. It has great detail and a wooden cross on each end. It is perfect for any prim room! $125.00

It's that time of year again...

Fall may not be in the air, but it sure is on your minds! I have had a lot of customers in the store lately who have been asking me to decorate for fall! Your wish is my command~ August 26th the sunflowers will be picked, the pumpkins will be ready to greet you with a warm welcome and Mr. Henry Banks (the scarecrow) will surely make you smile!

As always I will be adding new things every week.

See you then!

Rag Rugs Galore!

Nothings says country like a home made rag rug. To welcome your guests, warm your feet at the stove, or to simply soften any area in your home. I have many colors, lengths and sizes to choose from and the prices are great!

A Decorating Tip From Kendra!

The mudroom is one of the home's busiest spots. It's where you plop down your groceries, keys, and the cell phone; hang up your jacket, kick off you shoes, and put your work day worries aside. So why not make this room inviting by decorating it with style! Use a large aged wicker basket as a catch all, hang a primitive sign or two, even toss down some great old rag rugs.

Stop on into Kendra & Co. where you will find all sorts of primitive items for any room of your home!

TOP 5 Reasons For Collecting

4. The result: creating, unique, interesting home decor

5. The thrill of the hunt!

Old things...

Old things are more beautiful than many things of new because they bring fond memories of things we used to do. Old photographs in albums, love letters tied with lace recapture those old feelings that new ones can't replace.Baby shoes, teddy bears, a ring that grandma wore, are treasures waiting there behind a door marked "never more". Old things are more beautiful, more precious day by day because they are the flowers we planted yesterday.

Opps!

So for me the weekend is over and it's time to get back to the grind stone!
I made lots of "simple goods" for the store on my days off. I made a lot of prim candles too. I apologize because I meant to take pictures in stages to show you step one and so on. As I got to the last candle I turned to my husband and he just knew what that look meant!!! I had forgotten.
So instead I am going to take pictures of the finished products and post them for you all to enjoy. If there is anything that you like remember everything is for sale in my store!
Take care~
