Hi! Welcome to my Lemon Poppy Seeds Shoppe! My name is Shelley and Whimzy Acres is our farm. This is where my husband John and I raised our three kids. I have been sewing since my Grandma Mack taught me on her front porch when I was about 8 years old. I love creating primitive dolls and stitchery. I call my primitives Whistle-Pig Primitives at Whimzy Acres. I am also a Soap and Candle maker. Please come in and look around. I hope you find just what you are looking for at Whimzy Acres! ~Shelley~

Heart Peg Hanger

So cute is this heart shaped peg hanger. It will fit on a door knob too!

It measures about 7 inches long not including the wire and it is about 5-1/2 inches wide.

BoBo Rabbit & Miss Clucky

A Kentucky Primitive Pattern.Made of Osnaburg that is painted and stained and rubbed with cinnamon. There is a lot of detail to these dolls. She has a pinch stitched nose, and stitched mouth. Miss Bobo is taking her chicken “Miss Clucky” to town to sell some of her prized brown eggs. Times may be tough, but she must present herself like the lady she is!

Miss Bobo has put on her “Sunday go to Meetin’ ” Jacket complete with her little corsage of Sweet Annie and a Pip Berry. She has combed her tuft of sheep’s wool hair, and she has her bucket of nice Brown Eggs, Miss Clucky’s finest! (The bucket is wood and I have added some moss and pip berries for eggs) Why, if she could she would wear mascara on her eyelashes above her beautiful eyes made of rusty bells!

Miss Clucky is dressed too! She is also made of Osnaburg, perfectly stained. She has a beautiful comb of red floss, she is wearing a necklace of thick thread with a rusty bell, and a leash of thick twine. She has a blanket throw adorned with a little Sweet Annie too. She does not stand on her own twig legs, but she does lean on Bobo.

Bobo is nearly 15 inches tall and Miss Clucky is about 6 inches tall. Bobo is rag stuffed all except for her face which is fiberfill. I just love these dolls and I had the best time making them with all their “extras”. They will go just great in your prim home!
