Simply Primitive!

I cant believe its friday already! I feel like I have accomplished next to nothing this week and I still work today and Sunday. Saturday is my only day off this time of year. Fortunately the second job I work is a gift shop and I can take my lap top with me and work at my other job when Im not busy...or blog!

About a week ago I noticed a new store had popped up in the town next to ours. Well since it is called *Simply Primitive* you know I had to check it out! I was working in that area the other day so I stopped in and of course came home with a couple goodies. Loved this painted spoon and it will look great hanging in my kitchen when I EVER get my cabinets painted!
I also bought this box for my kitchen utensils. I may sand it a little more...I loved it and the colors match mine but I think I want it a little more prim.
The store was beautiful and I could have spent so much money there! Lots of prim goodies and some of the home decor as well. Premade curtains,candles,shelves,boxes...you name it! I saw some really neat house numbers there that I think will go on my Christmas list. They are like wooden tiles you slide in a frame and there is a space for a decorative tile beside the numbers. There were lots of painted tiles for fall and winter so you could change them with the seasons or holidays. So if anyone lives in my area the store is called Simply Primitive and it is in Truro, Nova Scotia. Next time I am in I will try to have a camera handy to ask if I can take some pictures. Im sure being new she might like the publicity!
Have a great friday everyone...whats planned for your weekend?

  6. Hi Holli, as the co-owner of Simply Primitive, I want to thank you for your kind words about our store. Next time you are in, ask for Christine (that's me) and bring your camera. We usually don't allow pictures but we will make an exception in your case. Hope to see you soon.

  7. Simply Primitive is a wonderful shopping experience and have a very talented and knowledgeable staff, It has been a few weeks since my visit but while shopping around I had excellent help from a young man working there who really knows what he is talking about when it comes to decor and primitives. He even went as far as to ask what colour my living room walls, couch and chairs were and what accents I had around the room so he could recommend to me some beautiful crafts and primitives (that I ended up purchasing) that would suit my room, he was incredible. I will CERTAINLY be back because of him.
