First: I'm purchasing lots of cool stuff for low, low prices at country auctions! I am planning to host a Christmas sale this year featuring boutique and handmade items. Did this two years in a row back when my kids were small. It was a huge success so I thought I'd begin stocking up for another try this year! Below are some featured items!
An interesting art-deco (?) style bar pin.
A collection of very cool rings that will be featured at the Christmas sale. Can you see my hands are garden-weary?
The free, soon-to-be-recovered footstool, I hope.
My garden beds with the new 40X70 sweet corn plot behind. You talk about a lot of work. I felt like a pioneer the day I planted that plot because only days before it was sod. I haven't worked that hard in ages. And it was raining, but I had to get the corn in soon. This is the first year we've planted corn in ages--now I know why!
Pea pods that Emma helped plant back in April.
And, finally....everybody's favorite, strawberries.I've been picking them out of our little plot. Aren't these pretty?
And next is a picture of me at the Grand Rapids Public Museum last Saturday. I'm staring longingly into the display of an old general store filled with dry goods. Lace, hats, shoes, needlework items, etc. We went on a day-cation to the museum to view the relics from the Titanic! It was an awesome trip! No pictures allowed in the Titanic exhibit.
I hope you are having a blessed summer. In addition to all this, I'm working two days/week and we are now involved in helping a church about 30 miles from us by preaching there about twice a month. Two weeks ago we attended an area church where Clint was asked to teach a Sunday school class. I'm still on our church worship team occasionally and have several sewing projects going. Taking care of chickens and contemplating adding some beehives soon. It's a busy summer, but so far lots of fun. I hope you are enjoying a fun summer!
Blessings, LORI
