Gift With Your Purchase


I have been packaging up my orders to send off to my customers and wanted to share a little snippet of what I stuff in with my orders. For the next few months I will include these pretty little things with your order in a sweet old tyme newsprint bag. I so love the little Flora MacDonald Needlepacket with bow. I have a few around my house tucked into cupboards, the other little sewing print is a rare print from a "Early Needlework Book For Young Girls" dated 1890, I love this print and the cute tomato pin cushion with a laughing face! I want my customers to happy and sweetly surprised!

~~~~Spooky Hollow~~~~~





I have taken my fireplace mantel and decorated it just for this update, after having much inspiration from Autumn and Halloween, I have worked with the Spooky Hollow theme this month.


I have a new Fall Themed September 15th update for the Folk Art Group I belong too Early Works Mecantile, so please visit


Early Works Mercantile Sept. 15th
Update for some original handids.





I was really inspired this week when I purchased a copy of Martha Stewart Halloween Issue, it has some great ideas in it for decorating and making a few hauntingly sweet crafts yourself, I love the masked pumpkins they are great!

My daughter Chloe (6 years old) has joined the fun and made the Dancing Black Cats Sign she is very proud of her little art picture that she made..so.. for a special Halloween treat I will include one her cute cat creations with any orders this month.
I will be accepting orders for any of the items you see here in my Spooky Hollow pictures each piece is of my own design and is completely handmade which is so nice in these fast and busy times. I complete each piece with a Red Wax sealed tag describing the item that you have purchased from Dove Grey Primitives.

I can't believe it's September already!!! Well it is the season I like the most, the weather cools down and there seems to be a hush to all activities as if the earth is getting ready for a long winter's nap.

I like to visit the little farm store markets that are nearby this time of year we have a great selection of fruit and veggies, I will share a few pics of my visit to the Dutch Mill Market, they have a great little outside play area for kiddies and some cute little animals too.
These sheep looked as if they wanted to join in on the escape plan too!





I can never leave this place without some baked goods this time it was a Dutch Apple Pie, and I almost left with one of their little nosy goats too!



This little guy was so tame, he must be a pet, was so funny he jumped right up on the fence then sauntered over to us for a petting, then he walked over to one of the little houses and tried to open the door! I guess his nibbles were in there, so cute.


After that I went back through the field part over into the store to shop and I turned around started by a knocking sound and here he was banging his horns on the screen door of the store to get in, we had a good laugh at this little guy, I had no idea they were so smart and friendly, I want one as a pet!
