While you are shopping Johanna and her husband serve up delicious hot cider on their vintage stove as well as special treats for their guests.

I asked Johanna what her inspiration was for her decorating style in her delightful kitchen. 

 I love the style and color of the 30s and 40s. and am attracted to vintage,  Art Deco motifs. Our 1939 house has really inspire me to decorate this way with its unique charm.  The bright cheerful color palette of the old pottery designs and vintage floral fabrics from that era have also inspired me too!…. Beyond that, family antiques and nicknacks have been passed down to me  from that era that helped build my interest and fascination for this style. My art is certainly inspired by this vintage look as well and blends well with all the old stuff I love to collect.

 

Items for sale will include Johanna's signed
reproductions offered through both Primitives by Kathy and Bethany Lowe
Designs. Collectible ornaments, candy bowls, Santa figurines,
and illustrated notepads are just a few of the delights. Each year,
Johanna also creates a winter collection of one of a kind folk art pieces for Christmas which are also available to collectors.
