More Peeks of What's in Store

A new vendor that will you will see at Farmstead's Antiques Home & Garden show is Susan of The Country Store. Just look at her lovely primitive style.Here's a little bio about Susan: My business started in High School when I started making hearts from a antique quilt and I was hooked. As the years went by, I got hit with the antique bug and started doing antique shows, Then I decided to try one of our local antique mall and have been doing that ever since. I love all things primitive and have started making more primitive folk art animal and things that are stained and distressed for that worn primitive look. All the primitive handmade items are all made by me and many are hand sewn for that primitive look..
We hope you come see what Susan of The Country Store has for all you primitive lovers. Visit her blog here.
