ITS BEGINNING TO LOOK ALOT LIKE CHRISTMAS

Once again time is passing by quickly and it is hard to believe that Santa will be at The Wade Creek House next Saturday.  And Christmas is just around the corner....Yikes!    How did that happen?  Many are more organized than me and Christmas surrounds us at the shop.  We are currently in the middle of our Holiday Gift Raffle, where each member has donated a gift basket or gift to be raffled on December 1.  All the money raised will be donated to Clackamas River Elementary School.  A great cause, great gifts.... its a win-win.  So stop by.   Look at my pictures for a peek of the shop.

IT HAS BEEN AWHILE

Happy Fall!!!  We have been so busy at the shop with our new spaces.   Come in for a visit and let us know what you think!

And save these dates.... October 13 is our Scarecrow Building Contest.  This is such great fun to enjoy as a family, a group (like Scouts) or just yourselves.  Then October 20, Linda is using vintage leave rake heads as the base to this years Fall Wreath Workshop.  Lots of fun heading your way.

I took a few pictures of the shop just to share with you.  I hope you enjoy them.

New and Improved

Things have been very busy at The Wade Creek House... the remodel/rearrange/redo (or whatever you call it) is finally finished.  No longer will you find boxes everywhere... instead newly created spaces.  I should have pictures to insert here but you will have to come see for yourself..   We have 2 new members with some really great stuff  - come and meet Sandy and Linda K.

We celebrated our 5th Anniversary this past weekend and enjoyed all the customers who came in to enjoy the savings.  And after that .... more to redo as we had great sales.  Loved it.

Whats next.. well an update on the girls (the chickens that  have been sitting on a nest of eggs forever.)   Red Rosie started sitting on the nest and then Blonde Betty joined her just before I thought they should hatch.  But hatch they never did.  So yesterday, I cleaned out the nest of rotten eggs and tried to explain to them that it didn't work.  I walked by the pen later and looked in and this is what I saw.

 

 

I am not sure if Blonde Betty is trying to console Red Rosie or trying to hatch her.  Very sweet.  When I checked on them today, they were back out with the rest of the chickens. 

 

I also wanted to let you know that this weekend - Saturday September 22, Carrie is having her Monogram, Distressed Chair painting workshop.  She will teach you how to paint and distress a chair, reupholster the seat and add a monogrammed initial to the back.  Carrie provides everything, including the vintage chair which you will take home at the end of the class.  Very few spaces left so call the shop to reserve your space.  503-630-7556



I will  get some new pictures to entice you even more but stop in and check things out. 

We would love to see you..

Bill & Becky, Carol, Carrie, Debbie, Deb, Don & Amber, Jim & Tracy, Linda B,

SECOND ESTACADA FLEA MARKET at The Wade Creek House

The weather dawned bright and beautiful for our second Flea Market. We want to thank Jim Pharris for all the organization, our terrific vendors for making it a great day, the Mossy Rock Ramblers for bringing us amazing music in the afternoon and thanks to Amy, Bret, & Arnold for feeding us such great food all day. Here are a few pictures to show you what you missed..

We had such great finds.....

The food booth was very popular. I surprised Bill with a curry dish. Yummmy!

The MOSSY ROCK RAMBLERS were fabulous.. but most of us already know this. They preform for First Friday here in Estacada at Mossy Rock downtown.

Once again, all of us at The Wade Creek House appreciate you.



Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom......Marcel Proust

JUST A GLIMPSE..

It has been awhile since I did a "walk about" and snapped pictures of some of my favorite things. Of those favorite things, these are just a few of them.

This bench is a bit over 12 feet long, over 100 years old, out of the Springwater Church. Only one is for sale - it is rare, lovely, and an amazing find.

This is a very old poultry poster. I have never seen one in such great shape. Quite large & would be wonderful in many places.

This old radio/record player works great and sounds even better. A fun find..

Such a sweet cabinet....with such possibilities

HELLO... HELLO.... Can you hear me know. We have come a long way baby! I think I may be mixing my commercials..

Imagine your dog in this custom made log home......

Great yard art..... on your shed, barn, etc...

These are very popular!

I want to say this is a seal skin trunk. Very unusual... love it.

As I walked through the shop, without my camera, there is so much new, cool stuff. I guess you will just have to make a tour of your own.

Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going to fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why....Eddie Cantor

AND REMEMBER, this weekend is our Flea Market. A half acre of vendors, food, and music. Free admission.. Open 9a - 6p

See you then!
