A Nice Surprise

Back in September we began carrying Antiques and Vintage because we thought it

would be a nice addition to the quality reproductions we offer.

We mentioned the idea to some of our customers and the next thing we knew

we had 5 consigners.

Roger and I started "picking" and I have to tell you ~ I LOVE IT!

Well, one of our local papers had a contest called "The Best of North Central Mass"

Readers filled out forms voting in different catagories.

What a nice surprise ~~~ We were voted #1 for Antiques and Vintage store.

Here's a little peak at some of our offerings ....

And if you're local and you voted .... Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I love these measures

Who doesn't like pottery?

or tables and chairs?

Wonderful Season

It was a wonderful season at Homestead Primitives.

Thank you to everyone that visited the shop.

I enjoy creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquility

~ a little escape from the stress of the season ~

Here are a couple of pictures from the shop.

I hope your Christmas was filled with family and friendship

and may the New Year bring all of you peace, love, health and prosperity.

It's Been A Long Time!

My plan to blog didn't pan out the way I thought it would, but my niece is here and she assures me I can do this! So, here we go again~~~

As you probably know by now the shop is closed for the month of August. We're busy revamping, restocking and bringing in antiques, vintage items and good olde stuff.

I made a promise to myself that this would be the year I conquer my fear of technology!

Bear with me ~ this is my 1st solo post.

Homestead Primitives has been in business for 11 yrs and we would like to thank everyone that has helped to make that a reality!

May you all be blessed with health, happiness and prosperity.
