Ok, I have to gush a little bit about a place I love to shop at (or at least drool over the Word and Holiday expressions dish sets in the catalog). Yes, I would say I have a bit of a crush. If that is even possible to have on a catalog.
If you are like me and you love Primitive style art and crafting you need to check out Primitives by Kathy, Inc.! From whimsical and funny to folksy seasonal items, Kathy Phillips has brought together an exceptional team of artists and gives them the credit they deserve for all the really cool pieces they create. I love settling in and looking through the Primitives by Kathy catalog and deciding what new things I am going to spoil myself with to decorate my home for the holidays. They have created everything - Charms, Ornaments, Stitchery, all kinds of Signs, Stakes, Notecards and Notepads, Paper Cutting pictures and more. One of my favorite things I am eyeing this year are their Twig Lights. I wish she had a picture of these online like she does in her catalog because they are beautiful! Another line I am really loving are Kathy's own Box Signs. Some sayings are inspirational and some are funny, but they are simplicity at one of its bests. She has created them for the Halloween, Christmas and her Everyday lines.
All of the artists at Primitives by Kathy are awesome! But three I am going to feature here are Annie Schickel for her wonderful Christmas Stocking Holder (for those of us who don't have a mantel to hang the stockings on). P.J. Rankin-Hults makes these incredibly beautiful hand-painted, hand-cut, folk art paper cuttings that you just need to see! Also Lisa Johnson creates wonderful primitive stitchery, but my favorite of hers is her Christmas - Stitchery in which she has been able to pinpoint exactly what Christmas is to me with just words. I believe she once had a similar piece for the word Family, but I can't find it anymore.
I have not found a shop/catalog that draws me back as much as Primitives by Kathy since my first visit to Shipshewana. It is a great catalog and they sell wholesale and direct. So whether you are looking for a great product for your store or, like me, just looking for something for your home or a great gift. Definitely put Primitives by Kathy on your list!
