2012 holiday preview!

Is it safe to assume every shopping mall and drugstore in the country is already decked out with Christmas and winter holiday decorations?

Fine! We're excited to get into the holiday spirit too, and to prove it, we've got a fun holiday post for you today, with a preview of some of the 200 new items we've added for the 2012 season.

Brand new this year...

Winter Magic

This line has a lot of really neat accessories, including a soap dispenser, cookie jar, pot holder, spoon rest and some darling salt and pepper shakers.

Christmas Past

This collection of embroidered cotton table linens and accessories has a really charming traditional pattern and it will complement well with other solid reds and greens you might already have.

Melody and Ginger

 

More from Pearson's! The critters we added from Pearson's last year were a big hit, and now we've got some winter snow men (and women!) from the same family!

Tree troppers, ornaments and skirts!

 

More Snowmen!

Stitchery and scented mats

These pieces come complete with a distressed wood frame and glass panel and they're made by Pearson's Simply Primitives. The mug mats are not new--they're a popular item from Park Designs and they go fast!

Some more old favorites...

Christmas Tree

Holly Dots

A new way to explore Primitive Home Decors

Good morning!

You may have seen the email about this already (if not you can sign up here!):  we just installed some fancy new tools designed to enhance your web "sailing" experience at primitivehomedecors.com, and we're pretty excited about it.

Specifically, these tools allow you to filter and narrow your searches to give you more personalized and more relevant results.

Whenever you enter anything into the search field on our site, you'll see the new navigation on the left side of the page. This area will list all of your options for filtering your search results.

For example, our many kitchen and dining items can now be narrowed according to category, theme, color, price and more.

Another good example: rugs. We have thousands of items under the category of rugs, so a search would yield an overwhelming number of results, from bath mats to stair treads to tabletop braided trivets.  Narrowing your results  by product line, manufacturer, size and type of rug helps whittle down your options to a manageable list!

In the bedding category, you can narrow search results by the size of bedding, (queen, king and full) and further narrow results by color, theme, manufacturer, style, price. The possibilities are (almost!) endless.

You can also mark the compare box to see a side-by-side comparison of any items.

Start exploring!

As an added incentive, we're offering you 10% off anything you order this week, no minimums or anything. (Hint: you'll find a coupon code as soon as you begin searching!) 

We would love to know what you think.

Our 10 most adored Halloween accessories

Halloween is kind of a big deal around here.

We start getting excited about it around the last week of September, and our friends and neighbors seem to as well. We've already seen Halloween decor start to pop up around the neighborhood: scare crows, jack-o-lanterns, black cats with backs arched and witches on brooms, and bright, multi-colored gourds resting on bales on hay.

Since we specialize in Halloween decor that mostly goes inside the house (and can't show them off to all our neighbors!), we thought we would share a few of our favorites with you.

Witch Hat Spindle

Trixie (and friends!)

Stewart Crowing

Starla Primitive Witch Doll

Sitting Jack-O-Lantern

Marvin and Dorothy mini scare crows

Hocus & Pocus Halloween Witch Doll set

Henry the Scarecrow

Hazel & Matilda witch dolls

Primitive Halloween doll trio

What's your favorite Halloween tradition? 

Country Sampler Christmas preview

We're excited to announce that items from PHD will be featured on the COVER of the October 2012 issue of Country Sampler!

This is a bimonthly publication so the issue that will be in mailboxes at the end of September is actually the CHRISTMAS ISSUE. We got a sneak peak at some of the products featured, and we think they're  a great representation of who we are and what we offer.

So to celebrate, here are some great decor ideas for the holidays. You'll find also find these items in Country Sampler. (And if you're not yet getting the magazine, you can subscribe here!)

White glitter branch candle holder sets (Just saying the words glitter branch gets us in the holiday spirit!)

Top Hat pitcher and platter Fantastic for parties!

  

Christmas tree mantle scarf This one is timeless. A customer favorite.

Holiday fabric stars and rag balls So many uses for these, they make fantastic centerpieces in a bowl or even stacked in a vase. We love them...and um, so do our cats.

  

Checkerberry bedding Bestseller!

More fall favorites

A few blog posts ago we featured our fall harvest collections, including Indian Summer and Splendor country table linens. Today, we thought we would share with you a few more of our fall favorites.

Olde Crow and Molasses coordinate well together, and the navy blue contrasts nicely with autumn tones like rust, orange, yellow and red.

Molasses

                      

Scarecrows

Have you checked out our collection of scarecrows yet? We have some new guys this year, as well as some old favorites.

...Or if you're more into witches, Starla is one of our new gals.

Halloween Decor

As always, we have a fun selection of rustic Halloween decor. Halloween JUST MIGHT be our favorite time of the year. (But don't hold it against us if we say that again in a couple of months!)

Pearson's Owls, Kitties and Primitives

Pearson's critters are another recent addition, fun and unique, and we think they fully embrace our country home decor style.

What's your favorite holiday?!
