Early Morning Stitches & Shop's Open Today!

...the birds woke me up this morning ~

such chatter outside my bedroom window!

I looked out to see a beautiful scarlet tanager and two goldfinch males 

in a stand-off on the tip of the old feeder out back ~ 

what noisy fellows!

 it was so peaceful & pretty outside in the morning light that I decided to pull a few more stitches on the small sampler I'm working on for my upcoming September 1st update on

~ Early Work Mercantile ~

this is a wonderfully talented group of artisans 

that come together twice each month to bring you unique primitive & early offerings 

made by their hands or collected by them for you ~

you have my personal invite to visit with us 

~ so please mark your calendars for the 1st & 15th of each month

here is the little sampler I'm working on for the update ~

I love small samplers that are old & worn looking,

with simple motifs & autumnal colors…

{and I love that little house!}

I'm just stitching and making it up as I go

 ~ letting the linen & thread dictate to me….

If you're in the neighborhood today,

stop on in the farm shop for a visit ~ 

we will be OPEN today from 11:00 ~ 3:00

bring something to work on, or just come & sit a while with me :)

...we're always happy to see friends!

Hoping your day is filled with beautiful things!

~ Blessings from the Farm ~
