After a weekend spent getting most of the windows in our home replaced (and moving everything in each room out of the way… and then back into place again… and then cleaning up the mess), I finally had time to get a new primitive crow doll that I finished making last week listed on Etsy today. She is 19″ tall including her witch hat, and was handmade by me using a Veena’s Mercantile pattern.
SOLD, thank you!
The canning of all those pickles in my last post has also begun! I’m boiling the salt water for jar number 3 already, which I will add to a jar stuffed with pickle cucumbers, fresh dill from our garden, garlic, and horseradish root to make Polish style cucumbers in brine.
Once the lid is sealed, we ferment them for 1-2 weeks, and then open and eat! We’re already eating jar #1 – delicious! (Or shall I say, bickering over who gets to eat the last pickle from the jar… after which my husband drinks all of the brine.)
And finally, I went antiquing last Thursday at the Chester Antique Mall, and have some photos of my finds to share. I set out wanting to find a piece that could function as an end table for next to our living room couch, and that is exactly what I came home with. I also found a fabulous lopsided, slotted iron spoon to add to my collection.
Awww, that crow is the cutest! Love! and what awesome finds you made! We need to go shopping 😉
I just love your new crow..what a sweetie.
WOW…LOVE the chest Steph…it’s fantastic…a great find and those spoons are wonderful!

You have been busy Stephanie. Your new crow doll is gorgeous. Love her little bag of flowers. The new addition to your furniture looks great too. Plenty of storage by the looks of it. The pickles I can leave….ha ha.
Heather, Doreen, Nancy and Cathy – thank you all for stopping by and for the kind words! Nancy, I will save you a pickle. 🙂

Hi Stephanie! Your crow doll is charming! Those pickles sound delicious ~ I am just about through with bread & butter pickles and freezer pickles. LOVE your antique finds!
Thanks, Lana! The pickles are so tasty – I can’t wait to open the next jar. We have 9 jars fermenting right now!
I love that crow so very very much – I have been trying to identify my daemon for years and now I know it should be a crow. A witchy one. Would you be willing to make another one?
