Calling all Snowman Collectors!!



It won't be long until we are hearing the word "snow" on a regular basis. Right now the trees are bursting with color and the air is crisp. Haystacks, cornstalks and pumpkins are adorning porches everywhere. But we all know, at least in northern Indiana, that beautiful white flurries are going to be headed our way sometime in the next several weeks. That's when snowman collectors start to get that gleam in their eyes and the excitement of adding to their collection is almost overpowering!

We have several snowmen choices for your home decorating at Hearthside Collection. My friend Marilyn, or "The flakey lady" as she is affectionately known, has several of her handmade Chenille Snowmen available through our online primitive country store.













We also carry the snowman designs of licensed artist Angela Anderson. We have several of her holiday and Christmas folk art signs available at Hearthside Collection.











We also have adorable snowmen pillows, samplers with snowmen and hand painted snowmen ornaments that can be personalized. Our personalized snowman family pillow has been very popular for gift giving this year! Visit our site and don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We hope you can find a snowman for every room in your house!

The weekend before Thanksgiving is a festive time at our house! We open 7 rooms of our 1890 home for a holiday shopping experience! We invite 30 other crafters to bring us their specialties. We then take down our personal decorations and remove some of our furniture. In just a couple of days the house is transformed into a country craft store! We invite the community to visit, browse and shop while listening to Christmas music and sipping hot cider!

We are located in Argos, Indiana. Where is Argos...you might be asking? We are in northern Indiana, about 30 minutes south of South Bend, 1 hour or more west of Ft. Wayne, not quite 2 hours north of Indianapolis and about an hour east of Valparaiso. Contact us for more exact directions. Basically if you can make it to Argos, you`ll find us!

My goodies arrived from Northern Ireland!!

What a fun trip to the mailbox this week! My giveaway goodies arrived! Christine from Preferably Prim was having a giveaway in honor of her 40th birthday and I was the winner!



I was so excited as I saw the package in my mailbox!




She even wrapped everything in cute paper and tied it with jute.



Look at all the handmade treasures! I have already been using the star and crow coasters. I always have a glass of water at my work space and these coasters are so cute. I was using a folded piece of paper before! The seeds bag and fall blessings pillow have already found their spot in my kitchen.

Thanks so much Christine for your generous giveaway!

New product!! Mason Ball Jar Lamp!!



Ohhh!! I LOVE the way this lamp turned out! We started with an original blue green quart size Mason Ball Jar. The metal lamp shade has a punched tin star design in a rustic brown color.

This lamp has a four-way switch. There is a night light with a silicone bulb in the bottom and we've added cinnamon sticks and pip berries to the jar. The top part of the lamp uses a regular bulb. You can turn on just the night light, just the top bulb, both lights or turn them all off.



We have added a homespun tie and a rusty star around the neck of the jar for a great primitive look! These are available at our online primitive country store, Hearthside Collection. Just visit the Mason Jar Items page.
