" Lavender Landscape" by one of my all time favorite artists, Lowell Herrero
It's true...I cannot, do it all!Oh, I've tried and have realized that I need to narrow my focus in order to live by my motto..."Simplify!"
The picture above is perfect considering I am swinging into full action on the preparation for the July Flea Market at the shoppe in Puyallup! I am honored to be sharing my market space with our very own Queen of Lavender, Mary Wells!
I will be in the "test kitchen" soon whipping up batches of "Lavender CupCakes" until they are perfected & show-worthy!
Soooo many wonderful items to create from scratch...
~ Soldered Charms
~ Burlap Pillows & banners
~ Sachets filled with fresh lavender
~Market totes embellished with flowers & ribbons
~ Whimsical Fairy Banners
...and the list goes on, if only I could manage to squeeze a couple more hours into the day! :)
I will return to my selling blog from
Summer Vacation
September 1st!
I will continue to blog via "prim4Him" so please keep in touch there!
Blessings to you & yours during summer break '09 ~ enjoy each day to it's fullest & be safe!

I am still playing catch up from my OUTSTANDING weekend & Farm Chicks Show experience!
Sidetracked yesterday by credit card fraud & an address mistake that resulted in us being "accidentally" sent to collections..."well done billing office~NOT!" Arrrrrrrr!
Anyway, in between dramas, I found the time to pretty up my "largest" show purchase!
This ALMOST resulted in us having to leave a passenger behind in Spokane! HA! :) We managed to squeeze everyone back in & got all the goodies & humans home safely!!!
BTW price of the adorable cabinet ~ $45!!! STOP IT!!! Go ahead, you can get jealous, I would be!!! :)

What are prim4Him & glitter'Ngrunge?
Needful things created to give God the glory!
Born of my need to create using glitter & all things vintage, rusty & grungy...these two biz names represent my styles & my reason for sharing it all with you!
I am a self taught artist & I consider my creations to be, "Whimsical Prim Originals!!!"
OOAK items, make-do's, framed altered art & whatever else strikes my fancy (and yours, I hope!)
I do hope you enjoy my creations & appreciate you taking the thyme to take a peek!
So whether you eat
or drink
or whatever
you do,
do it all
for the glory of God.
