MONDAY MARKETPLACE...

It is Monday and time for another Marketplace where you will meet one of my Old Farmhouse Gathering sisters. Since not all of you may be familiar with Etsy, this will give you a chance to check it out and see some of the very talented people you will find there. And, I have to say that I think our OFG Etsy team is filled with the most talented.

Today, I am happy to introduce you to Kim Orcutt of Valley Primitives. Kim is a great asset to our OFG team and is a wonderful artist. What she can do with a needle and thread is amazing!!! Just see for yourself!!
