Good Evening Everyone!
This is just a quick but picture filled post to show off my new prim Uncle Sam.
I stopped by the The Olde Homestead today while I was in Mt. Vernon.
How in the world did I not know about this shop??
This was my very first visit. I recently saw its add in the back of the Country Sampler and thought….
Wait a minute???
This shop is in Mt. Vernon???
How did I not know!! :)
Well, needless to say….
Had to go check it out.
And let me say…. PRIM HEAVEN!!!
Seriously!! Tears came to my eyes as I walked through the door and was just surrounded by the most amazing primitive goodies.
Everywhere I looked there was more and more.
I didn't know how my little heart was going to take it!! :)
Okay… I really needed ONE OF EVERYTHING!!!
But since they would expect me to be able to pay for it, I had to decide what was coming home with me today. Heehee!
I picked out two things.
One they are holding for me until I get paid but this BIG BOY came right home with me!!
I couldn't wait to get him displayed out on my porch.
I was so happy, I was smiling ear to ear when my Hubby came home from work.
Nope, he didn't even notice it when he drove up.
So I grabbed him by the hand and said…
Come look at what I got today!! The excitement coming through in my voice.
So we walked out on the porch and he looked at it AND….
ROLLED HIS EYES!!!!
Then said…
“I don't like it. He’s goofy looking. And it doesn't look anything like George Washington.”
WHAT???? I Gasp!!!
HE’S NOT GOOFY…. HE’S PRIMITIVE!!!
AND I LOOOOOOVVVVEEEE Him!!
ALSO HE IS NOT GEORGE WASHINGTON!!!
HE IS UNCLE SAM!!!!
His reply….
“Okay.” Then walked back inside.
LOL!!!!
I love my hubby but sometimes!!! :) Hehee!
So do you want to see???
Do you want to see my goofy George Washington Primitive Uncle Sam????
Here he is……
I added the red geraniums into his bag but he came with everything else.
He is made like a scarecrow so he is perfect for the upcoming fall season. ;)
Oh, and incase you were wondering how much I paid for him….
$69.00.
I think it was a Great price!
But don't tell my hubby…. he would probably disgree with that. LOL!! :)
I will be back soon with my tweaking pictures and other new goodies I talked about in my previous post.
I’m off to make my daughter some supper.
Take Care Everyone!!

Hi Tammy
Love your Uncle Sam!!! So funny about your husband-sometimes they just don't get it-George Washington LOL!!! My husband has been doing some prim wood working and he is doing real well but I still got to give him some prim pointers at times.
Your porch looks great and Uncle Sam (alias George Washington) looks right at home!!!

Love your George..uh i mean " UNCLE SAM".
He looks super great by your front door.
How could Hubby have missed him... unless he came in the back door..
Anyway.. I think he's sooo " uncle Sammish" ..

Oh my how could your hubby miss this big boy. He is life size. Just have to chuckle at your hubbys comment. Goofy or not. George or Sam. The big guy is prim perfect. Tell your Hubby Sam may keep unwanted visitors away. You may be just the gal who can help me out. If you have a moment read my post about Colonial Coverlets & Runners. Thanks. Blessings to you & yours!

Hi Tammy,
He looks awesome on your front porch! And your porch is so nicely decorated :) Your home is always so prim perfect!
Ohhhh! He is great! :)
My hubby would have done the same thing.. walked right on by, THEN about a month later I'd get the 'where did that come from?' and the ' what did that cost me?'
MEN!
They just dont get us do they??????

angie

Tammy i just found your blog through another blog and I have enjoyed reading some of your older posts! I just LOVE your house and the way you decorate. Uncle Sam is awesome and I think that was a great price for him he is BIG!!! He looks perfect on your porch which by the way is awesome too!! I just started a new blog come by for a visit when you have a chance. Hope you have a great weekend.
Blessings,

I guess my hubby is typical then. He would have rolled his eyes too after I pointed out the Uncle Sam. Men. I like him and think he looks perfect there at your door. What a beautiful home you have.
Tammy, Kathy's shop is so prim.....I thought I had mention it & the shop in Sparta to you before.
My MIL lives down the street from Kathy's shop. I went to school with Kathy.
Your Uncle Sam is so perfect on your porch.
Contact me & I'll tell you about some more shops.
