On My Desk:

tiny glass-globed watercolor renderings

 encased in silver metal onto which one holds their scissors about their necks:

 ...and also a few original watercolor paintings, altho tiny ~ 

'housed in hand-painted and distressed wooden frames, for those who love all-sorts of magical garden-y sprites and things having to do with stitching and needlework.

 

and paper-y goodness of the cross stitch chart-type 

along with the beginnings of black magic marker'd sketches of the same design,

 but for those who ply their needles differently. 

 I rode the lawn tractor for 2 hours today ~

only to almost finish the entire grounds {6 acres}

when another downpour of buckets-full came down upon me...

~ making me then drive said lawn tractor like a maniacal Ms. Pac-man-on-crack to our garage.

Oy.

 

Wet but not deterred, shaken but not quite stirred...

 Good Morning Friends and Folk!

it is a beautifully sunny day here at the farm...

we have been watching our robins, sparrows and bluebirds

flit about gathering tufts of this and that to cozy their nests ~

 I always enjoy watching our bird friends.

on a sad note, we had to say goodbye to our 11 year old little-boy parakeet 'Barbara'

who was named by Hannah when we got HIM for her... 

{we didn't know 'she' was a 'he' so the name stuck.}

Rest in Peace and fly high little friend ~ we so loved you being here with us...

♥ you will be missed ♥

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend at the Woolwright's Spring Hook In last Saturday!

we were so busy oin our booth that I forgot to take any photos at the show, 

except for this one LOL:

Joan and I had to do some retail therapy of course after the show,

you know, to decompress 😉

one of my favorite shops to visit while in Lancaster is ~

Hodge Podge 
14 East Main Street
Strasburg, PA 17579
(717) 687-8951

here is her page on FB: https://www.facebook.com/HodgePodge-670462439647579/

 

a quaint little needlework/antiques shop run by the sweetest lady!

I bought the following linens from there ~

30ct Cocoa from Weeks Dye Works

30ct Tin Roof from WDW

36ct Vintage Sand Dune from Lakeside Linens

30ct Havana from WDW

30ct Straw from WDW

 and my absolute favorite of the day that I can't wait to chart a Christmas design for :

28ct Antique Red Gingham from WDW

 We also stopped off at a few antiques shops in PA & MD

~ in Maryland at the 

Beaver Creek Antiques Market & Shops

here is their link on FB: 

https://www.facebook.com/Beaver-Creek-Antique-Market-613371042070116/

I found a bunch of small treasures like this white basket...

two little pincushions and old pail handles from Jimmie Cramer's booth ~

 

also this sweet basket in need of some tlc...

that I will patch with the old scrap of quilt that I found too!

 

I love old crochet work too, and found some doilies for a small pittance ~

oh and a little quilted pinkeep too!

 

yet another basket, this one is in pretty good shape ~

 

...some of the fabric was gleaned from The Country Store in Lancaster PA,

 

while the smaller pieces were found in antiques shop booths!

 

 I am always happy to go to a show or travel to teach ~

but coming home with new treasures is the best part of any trip...

Hoping you all have a beautiful day filled with things you love 

~ and those who love you most.

 

Blessings from the Farm
