Uncommon Ground and The Creative Village Artist Studio and Group

 
Historic Old Hickory Tn.
Home of the world's largest
 gunpowder plant built in
1918 during
the Great War.
 
There were enough housing for
35,000 people and more
 than 3,800 buildings
built.
 
But at the end of the war Old Hickory
was almost a ghost town.
A lot of buildings still stand today.
A lot of the original homes still stand.
And in recent years Old Hickory is
changing.
 
There seems to be a younger group
moving in, new business' are opening
and life is trying to make a comeback in
the small town of Old Hickory.
 
The Uncommon Ground is cute little
coffee shop that opened a few years
ago in the village of Old Hickory.
Across the street from that is
the local art store, the Creative Village
Artist Studio where you can find
some really neat, handcrafted arts from
local artist.
 
A couple of weeks ago the Creative Village Artist
Group and the Uncommon Ground came
together to help support the local
Outreach Program for that area by
hosting a sale. Local artist were
called together for this event.
 
My table was setup at the Uncommon
Ground.
 
With the help of my oldest grandson, Caleb.
 
 
I featured some items I already had setting around.
Christmas paintings
B&W photos of the village area
birdfeeders and
candle holders.
 
One of my candle holders.
 
 
My neighbor at the sale was Just Jon.
He makes guitars from recycled and used
items.....and they are playable!
 
 
Another lady makes dog and cat collars, bow ties
and treats.
I picked up some sweet tater chewies for THE KING...
My dog but he really rather not have to
chew so he is not that crazy about them.
 
 
Another woman had scarves, magnets and
bracelets.
 
 
This man had pics made from pieces of
paper and stuff...
 
 
All in all I think we raised close to
300.00 for the Outreach program since
20% of our sale went to them.
Not bad for three hours!
Special thanks to Chuck at the Uncommon
Ground and Elise and Tina at the
Creative Village Artist Studio.
 
Thanks for stopping in,

The Rest of Today

After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...

Swollen Hand and Leipers Fork

Wasp sting update~ I made an apt to go  to Fast Pace on Sunday, then canceled.  I wanted to give it one  more day. I did ice  off and on all day and  did Benadryl cream, Sunday night, swelling  is going down. This was Sunday  morning. This in is this  morning. Never been so happy to  see my ugly veins before! YAY L eipers Fork, TN. Cool little place about 30 mins from the house. I have been here, years ago but the other day, I wanted to get out, so I picked  Leiper's Fork.  Of course, since I love old  cars I had to stop and take pics of this one. Then off I went,  camera around my neck and ready for pics. This is one of the local  gallery.  Isn't that yellow door cute? Cool door with all the  details on it. I also love the old door knobs on these old doors. I thought this would  stand out in a pic as B&W. Again, the detail, down to  the very knob itself. This is a store in the mist of about ei...
