~~~~~~ Missouri Sisters ~~~~~~

 

Jan and BarbWe are Sisters from Missouri graced with a passion for turning old discarded items into collectable Primitive and Folk Art decor. We use things from Vintage rusted tin ware and wood items to tattered Antique Quilts and Vintage Coverlets with our added flair, restore them back to life.

The Primitive lifestyle is part of our roots. The barn you see on our web is the actual barn of our Grandparent's home place which is where our true love for Primitives began.

Our Grandmas big old Farm House was just packed full of Primitives and Antiques. We would watch her make bread using her old wooden dough bowl..letting it rise on top of the huge wood cook stove. Once baked the aroma filled the house and nothing is better than hot homemade bread and hand churned butter.

We love the peacefulness and simplicity of that lifestyle and hope it reflects in our work. Most of our items are One of A kind. We haunt Antique Shops, Thrift Stores, sales and auctions looking for the old and unusual.

~~ Barb Primitive Ewe ~~

barb Her love of old vintage quilts and textiles is quite evident in her work.  Each unique piece is crafted from antique quilt, woolen blanket or coverlet.

She is busy making table runners, pillows, rag balls and doll quilts from  hand quilted, vintage coverlets and other primitive textiles. She also creates ornies, bowl fillers, primitive dolls, snowmen, Americana and Halloween items, grunged with her special technique that gives them a warm time worn look.

In addition to creating, she tends Primitive Pastures where acres of Sweet Annie is grown. Harvest time becomes a family affair when we all get together for days to cut, sort and bundle the wonderful harvest that we are blessed with. Along with the Sweet Annie she offers real dried pumpkin stems for realistic creations.

 

So for just a bit, we invite you to forget about the hustle and bustle of our daily lives and enjoy our items of days gone by.
