Working in the Sun Room..

Hello my dears.. 
Just a little post about the things I am preparing for the Craft Show on Saturday.. 

Terry has been working on our kitchen,.. (thank the Lord) 
Hunting season is over so he has been working away on varnishing and rehanging the doors.. 

The weather here in N. B. has been a bit Winter like, shall we say.. 


Cold and dull outside with a bit of snow..
So I turned up the heater, made a nice hot cup of coffee and got to it.. 

Cutting out circles of fabric...

Lots of tags and even ideas for serving... 

I used the little method of putting tags of kraft paper into milk and sticking them on.. So simple.. 
I wish I had known this method years ago.. 

This chore takes much longer then one would think.. 
Hopefully, it will help sell preserves.. 
Nice for Christmas gifts.. Perhaps??? 

Today was the third day preparing and making more stuff.. 
Today I made some Christmas Jam.. 
It is really good.. 
I will show that to you next time..

We had this soup today.. 
Carrot Cumin Soup

You can find the link to the recipe HERE..

I love the spice cumin and loved this soup.. 
I even toasted a few cumin seeds to sprinkle on top.. 

Then back to work... 


Bottling up the vinegars.. 
Nasturtium, Tarragon and Elderberry..
I included a recipe to use them to make a salad dressing.. 


Elderberry Vinegar Salad Dressing.. 
So good for you, too.. 

Lots of strawberry jam.. 
The one I sell the most of.. 

Apple Jelly.. 
 And then I decided to make some bags to put preserves in to give away for gifts.. 
They are not quite finished yet ... 

So dear friends this is my post for tonight.. 

Mission Point Craft Fair 
130 Mark Drive, 
St. John East.. 
near McAllister Place.. 
Nov. 28 at 9 am.. 

If you are nearby I hope you stop by and say hi... 
There will also be a flea market going on downstairs.. 
And Apple Spiced Cider using my recipe.. smile.. 

Take care, dear hearts and please know how much I appreciate your comments.. 
You girls rock!!

  1. You have been BUSY! Everything looks delicious and lovely, I'm sure you will sell out! I haven't heard of using milk to stick the paper on, sounds like it would clean off much more easily than sticker labels! I'm thinking even my veggie hating hubby might like that soup! Yum!

  9. Dressing up the jars will help them sell surely. Who can resist a pretty jar of jam or jelly? Not I. It might help to have samples. Put out that block of cream cheese with the jalapeno jelly poured over and some crackers and ask people if they'd like to sample it. Or you might include a small (cute) jelly spoon, hang it off the side of the jar as part of the decorating.
