A little about me...
- Karen Lopez
- West Brookfield, Ma, United States
- I am a stay at home mom and a shopkeeper. We offer handcrafts created on the premises, consignment, cottage industry products, imports and embellished imports. We carry a lil of this and a lil of that. Primitive country handcrafts and more!
We Expanded the Shop...
Two rooms to browse in...
Countdown to Christmas
A shop visitor...
This is the lil katydid that was visiting me one evening as I worked on the computer after hours. He was clicking and then making his calling noise. I will try to post that for you as well. He seemed to be rather friendly and wanted to be close to me overlooking what I was up to. When my husband came in and I pointed him out he seemed to be a bit agitated and started diving from here to there. It was a bit creepy at that point but it was also fun to have him here.
Hubby and Me
What are those gloves saying...
This is how my hubby dries his work gloves!!! I think it is so cool...and funny. They always end up in different formations...pointing to the sky or saying "rock on" or I love you in sign language!
The sky from my deck
I see some unbelievable scenes right from my back door. In addition to incredible skies there are misty mornings over the river, hot air balloons sailing by, the train, the deer and at night the sounds of coyotes can be heard almost daily. I love it here and feel so blessed.
"The Boots" ~ My Haymakers Boots
These boots have been with me for 6 years through rain and snow. They are wonderful! They sit on the porch next to an old tool that one of the haymakers may have used. Everyone that comes in the shop loves them...so I decided to make some available for folks to take home and put in their gardens or on their porch! Haymakers were and are hard working men, women and children. They had a tough chore ahead of them each year bringing in the hay. I love my boots and hope you all love yours. I am going to tell you all how to make them!!!
Now this is what I call Majestic!!!

August 24th 2008
Hello everyone, Today is Sunday the 24th ~ As I sit in the shop I am thinking about yesterday...Yesterday I had two wonderful women come and visit the shop. It was really a lovely time. They shopped and we chatted and then we PRAYED together right across my counter holding hands. It was a wonderful prayer and such a boost for me. I love it when Christian folks visit the shop.
Also, after the shop closed yesterday I decided to push mow since the tractor is on the fritz. Well, I ended up saving baby mice...it was actually quite fun and exciting. You never know what the day holds for you. Be patient in life and "be still and know that I am God"...I love that scripture.
It was a great day and I look forward to what is in store for today.

The Bed of my Son's Truck
Here is the bed of my son's truck...
He is very creative...he wanted to be able to lay among the clouds!

My Dragonfly Tree
For some reason the dragonflys loved to land on the tippity top of the branches . I sat and watch them leave and fly back to land once again.

NEW Soy Candles have arrived!
These are wonderful soy candles. If you are familiar with soy candles then you will appreciate these. Soy is another choice in candle burning. I don't have a personal preference so long as it has a strong scent and a good throw. Soy is grown here in the USA and the candles are handpoured here as well. Come in and sample our candles...I will have one new scent burning each day!
New Soy Candles have arrived at the shop...
These are wonderful candles, if you are familiar with soy candles, and they are now at the shop. Some wonderful unique scents! They are priced to sell and I will be burning them at the shop for all to enjoy.
