Once you turn it on, it stays on for 5 hours and off for 19. It then turns back on again at the precise time that you turned it on. If the slide switch is turned to “on” instead of “timer”, then it will simply turn on and stay on until you turn it off again. What is great about this candle is that you can turn it on and off by means of a remote control, that we offer FREE with your purchase. This means you can put the candle high out of reach and still easily turn it on and off with your remote.</p><br/><p>These hand poured country candles are made with blackened beeswax and dusted with cinnamon to give it that primitive grungy look we all are looking for.</p><br/> <br/><a href="https://www.goodolddayscountryshop.com/product/luminara-candle/">Luminara Candle</a>goodolddayshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01832034850413275598noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004344876358684725.post-78440027424862719632015-12-06T13:07:00.001-08:002015-12-06T13:07:34.886-08:00Blue Star Barn Winter - Print by Bonnie Fisher<h1>Blue Star Barn Winter</h1><br/><p>Print of an blue star on an old barn in winter Blue Star Barn Winter</p><br/><p>A few words about the artist – <strong>Bonnie Fisher</strong>. Finding and painting old barns and rural scenes was the first thing she did when she got her driver’s license and borrowed her parents’ car. In the following decades she went to art college, raised a family, and did freelance artwork. Three years ago, she returned to her first love, old barns and rural scenes! Bonnie has gone back to the earth, the sky, animals and the country roads. She loves to paint the old buildings that represent endurance, hard work and independence, and the old churches that represent faith and service to God. She tries to capture the feelings they evoke and share them with us.</p><br/> <br/><a href="https://www.goodolddayscountryshop.com/product/blue-star-barn-winter-print-bonnie-fisher/">Blue Star Barn Winter - Print by Bonnie Fisher</a>goodolddayshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01832034850413275598noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004344876358684725.post-71676562850804642112015-12-06T12:05:00.001-08:002015-12-06T12:05:00.943-08:00Saint Nick - Print by Bonnie White<h2>Saint Nick</h2><br/><p>Print of Saint Nick</p><br/><p>A few words about the artist – <strong>Bonnie White</strong>. Bonnie spent 30 years living and working on her family’s horse farm in Canaan, N.Y. The barn closed in 2002 and the youngest of her three sons began kindergarten the following year. With more time on her hands, she began something she hadn’t done for more than 20 years – she began to paint again. She also began attending craft shows and fell in love with folk art. Life on the farm, the mountains, valleys, historic homes and villages that surround it gave her unlimited ideas.</p><br/> <br/><a href="https://www.goodolddayscountryshop.com/product/saint-nick-print-bonnie-white/">Saint Nick - Print by Bonnie White</a>goodolddayshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01832034850413275598noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004344876358684725.post-20600317451923012042015-12-04T10:25:00.001-08:002015-12-04T10:25:02.986-08:00Options for a Holiday Centerpiece<p>As the time draws near to the Holiday season, your mind naturally turns to decorating your home. Much of our attention often falls on the dining room table, as this is where we are drawn to when guests come over. So it only makes sense to try to make your table as appealing as possible.

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>After several weeks of prototyping, we have finally settled on what we believe to be is the most comfortable, strongest, and best looking make-do furniture on the market. But then, we're prejudice. After owning and selling several different styles of this type of furniture, we thought we could make it better. What we found was several factors that we thought we could improve on and still keep the overall look and feel of this home-grown style of furniture. First, it was generally uncomfortable to sit on. It was hard, and way too straight. Although good looking, it was uncomfortable to use. Second, it was not that strong. The legs would be wobbly and often come loose. The sides would flex and appear weak. Third, it did not appear as though the designs we saw were flexible enough to allow minor changes. This is because the forms all had sewn to fit outer shells that slid over the sides and backs. Although this looks good, it shows the fasteners and any small modification results in a whole new sewing process. The old template cannot be used to sew from. This is how we overcame these obstacles. </b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>The strength of the overall chair was something we wanted to improve on. Most chairs are simply plywood screwed together, and that is how we started. However, we could make this stronger by creating a hollow core form in the same manner a door is built. The perimeter is reinforced with solid lumber, as is the core. The complete structure is then covered with 1/4" plywood. Thus, the back and seat are hollow core forms, 1" thick, and just as light as a 1/2" plywood form. However these will accept glue and screws and make the whole structure much more stable and strong.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>As for attaching the fabric, I learned from the other chairs that they were typically sewn sleeves that would slip over the plywood forms and then these forms would typically be screwed or nailed together. This made for a nice clean look however it also meant one had to be proficient at sewing. It also meant that just the most minor alteration would mean that the sewn sleeve would no longer fit and a whole new template would have to be made. We consulted with an upholstery expert who showed us how to apply the fabric without any sewing. So that is how we make these. First the insides are padded with 1" of batting and then covered with the dyed duck cloth. The sides would then be screwed to the back and bottom. More batting is added to the outside and the outer shell could then be applied, which covers up the screws. There is much more to it but that is the jest of how these are put together. </b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>The foam we use in the seat cushions is the secret to the comfort. We use a firm dense open cell foam that is 2" thick. This means you don't bottom out when sitting and makes for a comfortable seat. The other factor that makes this more comfortable than others is the angle of the back. As you can see, the back angles back at 12 degrees. Although this is much more complicated to make, it is well worth the effort and the price, as the extra comfort level is achieved from this seating angle. We have altered the arm rest height as well as the curve in the sides from that of the seat. We think this settle is quite an advancement and think you will be pleased.</b></span></div>

Been quite busy keeping the 2 website and Facebook current. So, now, as I promised earlier, I will update the BLOG more often and keep interesting articles and tidbits coming. I also urge you to participate. I want you to ask questions, post photos, start a dialog. I would like this BLOG to be interactive, interesting, and active so without you, I cannot achieve these goals. Please participate and together we will make this a fun and interesting BLOG.<br />
<br />
OK, today I want to tell you about a new item I just brought into the shop. It is a secretary/desk. All in pine, and the desk lifts up for storage. Plenty of more storage in the top and bottom. Great country look.<br />
This has been refinished a while back. Condition is Good! I date this about 1880 judging by the cut screws, and original square nails. Please feel free to ask questions about this piece.<br />

They are gracious, kind, and appreciative of all our work we do to present our items in a professional and attractive manner. They know we spend countless hours looking for our unique, hard-to-find, really cool items. They also know we ALWAYS offer these items at a fair and reasonable price. They appreciate the ambiance of the soothing music, the attractive displays, the fragrance of burning candles, and the warm and friendly greeting from our staff. These are the reasons why our customer base grows year after year and our loyal customers keep coming back. </span></div><div style="background-color: orange;"><span style="font-size: small;"> However towards the end of this year we experienced a few people who apparently did not feel this way. Through no fault of our own, a few people who came in the shop seemed hostile and rude. I don't know if this is a result of economic stress or what, but it seems that more of these types of people seemed to surface towards the end of this year than ever before. As an example, one lady stated that "This is all I am willing to pay for this item. Here is my phone number, you can call me when your ready to sell it for this price." By the way, the price she offered us was less than half of what we paid for the item. Another lady came in and asked for a quote on my custom built farm table and benches. I was out of town but my prices are listed in my catalog. She left leaving a message for me which said she would offer me about half of what my price is. I wonder how any of you would feel if you went to work for half pay. Hmmmm. </span></div><div style="background-color: orange;"><span style="font-size: small;">Good thing we are now closed as I need a well deserved break especially from this kind of treatment. Most of our customers are dear and kind people, but there are a few who just don't need to come in any more. Wondering what you might feel about this.
