It's a new year! The beginning of something new I hope for all of us. I spent yesterday (New Year's Eve Day) driving my 21 year-old to her therapy and surgery. She had the pins removed from her hand. She is completely healed and has no restrictions using her hand. So thankful for that.
Today, I am making black eyed pea casserole for dinner. It just sounded good. I'm thinking of rolling out the pastry cloth and making us some biscuits and gravy for breakfast.
I inherited this door from my Dad. He was a pharmacist. It's very old. I grew up working in the store. The store had a fountain, photo center, cigar counter, penny candy and sold other items. The fountain (what we called it) is where there were booths to sit and eat, and a long counter with seats to sit and eat. We sold sandwiches, ice cream, snacks, soda etc. We had the best hot fudge sundaes. Anyway, Dad's pharmacy had a swinging door for years until we got robbed (at night when it was closed) and Dad had to enclose the pharmacy with glass and a door that locked. One daughter had a grand idea. She said it would be a great door for a room where my medicinals (natural remedies) would be kept (my dried teas, tinctures, etc). She said it was my own sort of pharmacy. I just have to figure out where and how. I just love the idea of it.
A closer look at the colors in the bathtub rag rug. It just makes me smile, so I am so glad I got it finished. We need more "happy" in the home right now.
I bought myself a new 2021 planner and already have things planned. Hoping and praying the new year is much better than 2020. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! 2021 planners ! Thought I was the only one excited about it.... lol !
I love your rag rug! I hope to be a little more crafty this year. I would love to sell more on Etsy and I am looking into Amazon more this year. I believe my Pink Zebra business will be my main focus this year and I am excited to see where it leads!
Every home needs a little more happy this year!!
Happy New Year Kristina! :) Oh that's a great idea about the door, and what a nice door too! I loved hearing about the "fountain"...seems so old fashioned, you don't see that anymore in pharmacies!! :)
wyomingheart, I'm already using it and praying for a better year.
Carol, I have an account with Etsy but haven't opened it yet. I'm waiting to make sure it's what I want to do yet.
Thanks Rain, my Dad built it too.
Happy new year, wishing you everything that you wish for yourself. Love the pharmacy door, I do hope you are able to reuse it for your remedies.
mamasmercantile, I have plans for the door, but it will require much work to remodel. I'm looking forward to it though.
Cute rug!
The pharmacy door is just awesome.
Thank you Luludou, I can't wait to get the door up.
