Life In A Small Town....



I LOVE this small little mountain town of Maggie Valley! It's sorta like visiting Mayberry and stepping back in time. On any given day of the week you might spot turkeys crossing the road or local cloggers practicing in a parking lot....



...or visit the cutest of little craft fairs....



...maybe partake in a small town church BBQ and gospel sing...





....or come across a public restroom trying to be green....


(got a good chuckle out of that one)!

But what I did not love or get a good laugh at this past week was this scary looking guy living underneath our hot tub right smack in the middle of our deck....EEEEEEKKK!.....
But in all fairness to this guy, we do live in the middle of a forest. After all, we are in his territory....


I have been completely freaked out by him for the past few days. Not much has been going on outside on the deck lately because of this little party crasher.


On a happier note....I've been collecting and acquiring some beautiful old vintage pieces lately....







....Just look at the color of these beautiful antique crystal beads!  Yummy!!!!









I am chomping at the bit to get to work on some of these newly acquired vintage pieces. Hope to have some designs put together with them in a few days. I do have a few supplies with me, and I am so, completely ready to get back to work...I miss my designing and creating!



See you back here soon, will post new upcoming pieces here first!

I'm with you, I do not find unwelcome critters funny at all. We have had 2 snakes at our front door and I refused to leave the house until they were gone. The man of the house told me there simply has never been snakes before, why now?

Enjoy your simply mountain life, it's so soothing to see small towns like this.

Oh, thanks for stopping by and commenting on my "work in progress" studio. xo

I'm drooling out all that Rhinestone yumminess! Especially those buckles! Look forward to seeing your future pieces! The unwanted visitor; we had one in our yard a few weeks back! Never welcomed on my territory! I understand your heart with the hot tub, and always looking around wherever you are in your space. Have fun in your "Small Town."

I just read the first part of my comment; I'm drooling over all that Rhinestone yumminess! See, I am drooling so much that I could not type it out!
