Barb Bobik: Thank you for putting up pictures of the show. I realize how difficult a time it was and your efforts are much appreciated. It would be nice to know whose booths were pictured. Thank you again & hope that time will ease your sorrow.

appletreeshop: Once again we enjoyed the wonderful show you had at Primitive Homeplace - and so enjoyed seeing you Jimmy. It was well worth the trip from AZ. Know it was hard without Ruth at your side, but she would have loved the great job you and your family did this year. We wish you the very best and are so happy you are keeping the shop open. Karen & Bill Landes
October 4, 2009 8:32AM
Sherry and Rucker Wheelis: Jimmy, it was such a shock to come by Primitive
Homeplace to see Ruth and you have to tell us she
had passed away a little over five weeks ago.To you and
your entire family, we are so sorry for your loss. As sad
as this is, we cannot think of Ruth's pretty, smiling
standing in front of the mural at the check-out counter
without smiling ourselves.
She was always so happy, and you were a main part
of her happiness. That was very evident. She loved you
so much. Surely the LORD will allow you the comfort
of feeling her presence whenever you walk through the
store or the cabins or on the grounds.
First Thessalonians 4:13-18 basically says:
We sorrow not, even as others who have no hope....
for we shall share eternity with our beloved when we
meet them in the morning over there. Comfort one
another with these words.
October 2, 2009 7:14AM
Faith: I learned of Ruth's passing when I attended the Fall Show. I have such good memories of bringing my out- of-town family to enjoy the shop and Ruth always made everyone feel so welcome. What a sweet lady, I will miss her. May God hold you all close.

Bobbie Mims: I am so sorry. I met Ruth several times when I would come to shop and tour her lovely home. We would stand and talk for the longest time and I felt like I knew her so personally. I had a hurting heart when I heard the sad news. She and I both had a great love of primitive antiques.

Russ and Debbie Adams (Grey Goose Antiques): Jimmy and family: We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Miss Ruth. We have been blessed to have known her for the past several years. She always had a smile on her face and lived each day to the fullest. Ruth was full of life, compasion and love for her family and friends. We will truly miss her. Sometimes it is hard to understand - but God must of had a "plan" for Ruth to join Him in heaven; and one day, we will all see her again. May God give you strength in the upcoming days, weeks and months. She has left her "footprint" in our hearts and souls. Russ and Debbie Adams

Carol Howard: Dear Jimmy and family, I was never lucky enough to actually visit Primitive Homeplace and meet Ruth, and all of you, her family and some special friends we had in common. Though it was on my list to do so. I am stunned at the news of Dear Ruth's passing. I got to know her through her updates and emails and a large, treasured doll sitting on a red checked cushion on my church pew. I shall be holding all of you close to my heart, and in my prayers, in the days to come, for strength and peace for you, from our Wonderful Lord. May his mercy and gentleness bathe you in that peace and his special love for you and Ruth bring comfort to you. I know that Ruth is happy in Heaven and one day we will all be there together forever!!!!!!!!!! God Bless You All, kindly, Carol xo

Ginger: I am left with just a picture
in my heart and in my mind,
the image of Miss Ruth
that I close my eyes to find.
I am left with just my memories
of time now long past,
the Primitive scenes and hopes
and dreams that did not seem to last.
I am left with sweet assurance
that my grieving soul awaits.
For I'll someday meet her Miss Ruth
inside the heaven gates.
Jimmy & Family...you are in my prayers.

Always so helpful and so giving to others. She was so very down to earth and geniune. She will be truely missed. Her love for her husband Jimmy and her children and grandchildren was so very strong. I feel like I have lost a family member..My prayers are with the family; If anyone can possible add a primitive touch to Heaven, it will be Ruth.

Easter is a beautiful and sad time for us. The video made me cry but thats OK I cry a lot anyway. Touching video. ThanksYour Cape Cod Friend.

Jackie Martin: The log cabin in the slideshow that you are featuring on your website is almost exactly like the cabin that my husband and three boys built in our back yard. We must be soulmates.
By the way, I read a message on your questebook from Millie. She must live in SC of somewhere close by. I live 8 miles south of Rock Hill and was wondering if Millie lived anywhere close by.
Again let me thank you for a wonderful website. In the middle of a long day, it is truly wonderful to relax and enjoy the beauty.
March 13, 2008 11:06AM
Millie Mixson: This is just absolutely WONDERFUL. I have the Country Sampler Magazine from Jan 07 and that is one of my favorite articles. I go back to it very often. Just love looking at the home and wondering how do they do that. I share it with all my primitive friends. Thanks so much for letting me in. I am also a visitor and friend of Straw Broom Primitives at High Grove. Millie

RITA: Hi Ruth, Greetings from your Cape Cod connection. Your site is just great with your new updates. I love your tavern room. Jimmy must be a really good guy to tackle these projects. I took some pics of our house but they came out a little dark.[my house is dark but I like it that way]..I'll put them in the mail to you. I hope you might enjoy them. Wish we had shops and shows like yours on Cape Cod and thisarea. A happy and healthy New Year to you and your family. Rita
January 17, 2008 5:28PM
Bob Strauss: Hi Ruth,
It was good to see you and Jimmy at Nancy's. What a treat their house was. We already sold four things we bought from them so it was definitely worth the trip. We had a miserable ride home through freezing rain and sleet. We got home at 9pm. Hope you had fun with the Millers. Ralph and Linda are such nice people. Wish they lived closer. Hopefully you'll get back to Michigan some day. We have made some major changes since your last visit.Hope you have a very Merry Christmas.
Fondly, Bob and Steven

I would love to go to a show like yours, to far for us to drive right now. I check your site everyday, and look forward to the home sites and the things you have to offer for sale.

October 2, 2007 7:03AM
Amy and Blake: Hi Jimmy and Ruth.......We can not even begin to tell you how very much we loved your show...We drove 12 hours to get there and wish that we could just move in..We try and go to all the Country and Primitive Shows but never have we found another one to compare to yours...We also loved the things that we bought in your booth this past weekend at The Country Living Show..But that show was surely a dissapointment after coming to Tennessee.....The 4 booths together were the best in the whole place..We are already making plans for your next show....See you in Nashville..
October 1, 2007 7:03PM
Vonda and Barney Driver: We loved the show and the house and gardens. It inspires us to do even more around our home to get the primitive look that we love so much. Will definately be at the next show in Sept, One word to discribe it all.........FABULOUS!!!

Keith and I had such a wonderful time, and we were truly blessed by the hospitality that you both showed us! Your house tour was SO much fun and I certainly did enjoy looking at all of your fantastic primitives! A real primitive paradise!! Your shop is great and you have done an excellent job of displaying everything. I wanted to take all of it home with me!
Take care and God bless,

I would try to make them myself, but I can't find the material around here. I am located in Kentucky right across from Cincinnati, and I sure with you were closer. If you do have a newsletter or post messages, could you please include me in case one day you do make it this far north. Thanks for your time and the info.

Carol: Dear Ruth, Your website is wonderful and it just keeps getting better and better. For anyone needing inspiration, Primitive Homeplace is the place to go. It will be well worth your drive no matter how far you have to travel. When I first met you Ruth at the Gathering Seasons show, I knew you were someone I wanted to get to know better, and I was right.You are not only my inspiration and mentor, but a very special friend. The first Christmas open house we came to, when we toured your wonderful saltbox home for the first time, I immediately knew what I wanted for our home. When I purchased that first wonderful sawbuck table from you, we knew there was no turning back. With your help, guidance, and friendship our home is transforming from country to a haven of early primitive treasures. The best treasure of all though, is the frienship, which I am thankful for everyday. I know your website will be a big success for you, and I wish you and Jimmy all the best. It would be hard to find two nicer people. Thank you Jimmy for always loading my treasures. Your primitive friend, Carol
