I be see’in Raggedies!!!

First up today are some primitively pertiful raggedies.

May I please introduce you to Raggedy Love. You will get the pair, for the price of $15.95 plus s/h. They each measure approximately 16″ tall, and they have heavily weighted bottoms, so that you may perch them anywhere. On the edge of a drawer *as shown* on a shelf, in a chair, or just tucked in amongst your favorite prims.

There are only TWO sets currently available of this couple, so get them while you see them.

Next up, is another wonderfully primitive item.

This is a freestanding Raggedy. Again, done up like those above, in wonderfully prim fashion, this raggedy has twig sticks for wings. Standing approximately 12″ tall, this would look great on a shelf, an endtable, or in a hutch.

The freestanding Raggedy is priced at $7.95 plus s/h, and again, I only have TWO of these in stock.

If interested in either of the items listed above, please email misterals@aol.com

From here on out…

…. I have decided to use this blog as a selling site.

Sure, I could have gotten a webhost, paid a monthly fee, bought alot of graphics, but then I would have had to raise some of my prices. And, with things as tough as they are, I just did not feel right about doing that. So, I opted for the next best thing…this blog.

Over the next few days, I will start posting items in the shoppe, that are for sale. I will post the pics, the price, and a brief description. Please keep in mind, although about 75% of the items offered at HATTIES ATTIC are handmade here in beautiful Eastern Kentucky, from time to time there are going to be a few items that are listed, that I or my Aunt have found that we thought you might like. And, also, there is the glassware, that if I can talk my Aunt into it, I might list from time to time as well.

To keep things from becoming too confusing, and to help eleviate any misunderstandings, if the items description does not mention that it is handmade, then it is not handmade….at least not here at HATTIES ATTIC.

Also, once I know what items you are wishing to purchase, I will send you an invoice, via PAYPAL, with your total, including shipping. This will offer you the convenience of paying with echeck, debit, or credit card. I will accept payment through the mail, but do please, please, keep in mind that there will be a much longer wait. There is a 10 day waiting period for you check to clear my bank, and then the item(s) will be shipped out.

I think that about does it. Now that we have all the boring stuff out of the way *wink* lets get down to looking at some primitive perties. Oh, and as always, if you at any time, have any questions, comments, or concerns, do not hesitate to email me at misterals@aol.com.

Christmas has arrived at the ATTIC…

Weather forecasters…my oh my!!!

I had heard earlier this week, that today it would rain all day long…a 70% chance of rain to beat all. Well, I get up, and like a friend on Facebook said yesterday…there was a bright, yellow glow outside. The skies are as clear as can be, and it is an absolutely beautiful fall day!!!

So, I had not planned on doing anything outside today, but it looks like I might get a little bit done. I am shooting for cutting my sign boards, and maybe priming a few items. Only time will tell what the day will hold, but I am sure I will find something to do. I know one thing for sure, there is never a lack of something to be done…that is always a constant around here. LOL!!!

So, I am off, to cut, or to prime or whatever else I can get into.

Hoping your day is as bright, sunny, and productive as mine is looking to be. And as always…blessings!!!

Shoppe Hours!!

Okay, the official hours for the shoppe for the remainder of 2009 will be Tues-Sat 5:30pm-7:00pm.

HATTIES ATTIC is located just off Middlefork Route 3, on Preece Road. I am located behind the fourth house up on your right.

If you would like to make an appointment to shoppe, that is a time other than listed above, feel free to call either 606-298-3819 or 606-626-9884. Or, if you are in the area, you can just stop by, and either my Aunt Mary or myself would be tickled to open the shoppe.

Hope to see you soon

Hello all :)

Hello all!! I wanted to pop in and apologize for not posting in a while. After months of looking for a *day* job, I finally found one. I really like it, but it can be very tiring. I haven’t gotten much done in the way of creating or working on new items for a while, so I haven’t had anything new to post.

My Aunt Mary worked on the shoppe a couple of days last week, and really did a good job on it. You can actually get around in there, without worrying about falling and breaking a bone!! LOL!! For those who don’t already know, I had to get the last of the items I wanted out of my parents home late last month, because it was to be auctioned. Having no where to store the items, they were placed in the shoppe…hence the shoppe not having been opened. But, now that it is all straightened out…for the most part…the shoppe can reopen.

I will be working on tagging some items to take to my booth at PRECIOUS MEMORIES in Paintsville, and will then start on getting some items done for the shoppe. I had hoped to get some fall items done this year, but feel it is just too late now. There are a few items that I will be listing on my site at http://www.hattiesattic.com, but that will be the only fall that I will be offering thiis year.

I am going to start working on some items for the holidays, and hopefully start getting the shoppe ready as well. I am still ironing out the business hours, since they have to change *yet again* to accomodate my new job. Once I get those figured out, I will post them here.

Until then, just keep checking back. You never know what I will post about, or what you will see, and I would not want you to miss out on a thing.

Have a joyful and blessed day

Pics of new shoppes I am in :)

Finally got a few pics of the two new shoppes I am in. Sorry it took so long.

The first one is Precious Memories. This one is located on Main Street in Paintsville KY. The owner is a great lady to deal with, and she always has a kind word when I go in.

This is a pic of the outside of the shoppe, to give you an idea of what to look for. It is located right on the corner, and you really can’t miss it.

This is the best of three pics I took. I had trouble with the camera not registering enough light, and it didn’t want to take a pic. But, this one did turn out pretty good. Here you can see the center table, in my booth, and some of the perties I have displayed.

In this pic you can see where I placed some of Mary Ellen Goble Preeces books in my booth. She writes about growing up in her faith, in the appalachian area, is my aunt, and a wonderful writer, and I wanted to offer her books to my customers. I really like the way they look in the display cabinet I used. They really stand out. You can also see a flower arraingment that she did, on the right hand side, that I took in yesterday. I took in three different ones, and they are all beautiful.

This is the last picture I took. In this one, you can see a few of my items including another floral arraingment by Mary. The black cabinet looks great, with the doors open, and it really grabs your attention when you look at the booth.

The next set of pics are from a shoppe I put items in about a week ago. It is called Primitive Dwellings, and it is located off RT645, on RT581, in Ulysses KY.

I only got a picture of the sign on the main road, the sign at the end of their driveway, and a picture of the front of the shoppe. Her shoppe is set up so that she blends everything in together, so I couldn’t take a pic of my items. But, this will at least give you an idea of what to look for.

This is the sign, on RT645, when you turn onto RT581. Notice at the bottom is says 2 miles? I can not impress upon you enough that it is ever bit of that, if not a tad bit more. But, well worth the trip.

This is the sign at the end of the driveway. This sign will be on your right, so keep an eye out for it.

This is the final picture I took. This is of the front of the shoppe. It is really a nice shoppe, and very large and open on the inside. You will really enjoy your visit to Primitive Dwellings.

Those are my two newest shoppes. I hoping to do very well at both, and look forward to selling my wares at both. If you are in the neighborhood of either shoppe, please do stop in, and tell them Tracy from Hatties Attic sent ya

New business card unveiled!!

I have been working on the shoppes new business card, and thought I would unveil it here. I think they really turned out great, and I can’t wait to start giving them out.
