Hey ya'll! I unwittingly opened a Bed & Breakfast a few weeks ago when I hung this wreath on my front door. I noticed some activity around the door about a week later and upon investigation I discovered a charming couple of little wrens have built a nest in my wreath! If you look closely you can see it. I've named them Ozzie and Harriet. I now enjoy their singing every day, how sweet the sound. This does not come without a price, however. I also endure their scolding when we use the door or are on the front porch. I'm trying to limit the activity in this area to accommodate them, but it is my front door. We have no eggs as of yet, they seem to be taking their time making sure everything is just right before they settle in. I'll let you know how our new little family progresses.

I finally got my Celene's Treasure Chest blog up and running. You can see the kinds of things we have to offer and a little about the crafters hand-did purties at my lil' country store in rural Illinois. Pam and I have been busy with Wood n' Whimsy, too. Here are a couple of the things we have made lately. Til next time, God Bless.

We found an old kitchen chair in the junk and made a cute and welcoming porch or garden sitter. I love the country blue. If you look closely you can see the daisies painted on the chair back

One of my favorites is this potting bench.

Primitive Wood Crafts by Wood n' Whimsy

Hi ya'll! Here are some of our hand-did primitives. I'd like your heartfelt opinion, so please let me know what you think.

This goose is made from old barn wood that is 100 years old and them some!

Neat spoon shelf. Shelf brackets are made with antique silver spoons. Wood is reclaimed from early 1900's.

This Americana wall hanging can be used as a coat or towel hook or just as a hangin' purty. This is made from old reclaimed 1800's wood and an antique door knob.

It's A Brand New Blog!

Hello to all my friends from my Celene's Treasure Chest blog. Welcome to my new friends who are joining me for the first time. Wood n' Whimsy is my new blog about the primitive wood crafts my friend Pam and I make in our workshop in the back of my "brick and mortar" Gifts, Crafts and Antiques Shop in rural Illinois called Celene's Treasure Chest. We call our wood crafts Wood n' Whimsy by Pam and Celene. Hence the blog name. I plan on posting about many things on this blog such as; Wood n' Whimsy crafts, life in rural Illinois, family, friends, inspirational subjects and whatever else strikes my fancy. I also intend to have contests and give aways often, so please add me to your favorites, your blog roll, or feed and check back on a regular basis! If you add me to your blog roll, please let me know so I can do the same for you.

I am also revamping my other blog to reflect more of the crafts and antiques featured in the Celene's Treasure Chest (physical shop). I will be telling you about some of the crafters and their hand made wares, as well as some of the antiques in my shop. I'm really looking forward to showcasing them. As I am building both blogs at once it may be a couple of days before I am completely up and running so please bear with me. I'm looking forward to hearing from all of you. God Bless, Celene
