Just being home....

Good Evening everyone.. 

Such a beautiful day here in New Brunswick..  

The maple leaves matured so much just in the week that I was away.. 

Terry went cutting wood today with his buddy so I sorted through my purchases.. 

Bought myself another prim doll...

Gotta love her.. 

A lot of ladies do not like prim but I do... smile.. 

She came from my fave shop... Potters Hill in New York state.. 

We did find one flee market and found these..

Vintage tablecloth, doilies and a lovely 60 inch vintage lace curtain.. Perfect for doll dresses and such.. 

A few boxes that were packed so well...

I can only give you a glimpse until they get unpacked at the shop.. 

Anyway... 

There was a lot to do ... 

See my lovage plants that Terry picked up for me..

I ordered them from the Co op and he picked them up while I was away... 

I want to plant one more here, one at the cottage and one at the farm.. 

It is such a useful herb that I want it where ever I may be.. smile.. 

A perfectly beautiful day to hang out lines of laundry.. 

A fair breeze and they dried quickly... 

My Mom told me that she and my step father had found 12 of his white handkerchiefs that were missing in old pants pockets yesterday.. 

So .. today she whitened them and hung them on the line.. 

She said she could watch them blow all day long.. grin.. 

That must be where I got that... hmmmm...

All the bushes are in bloom...

A snowball bush.. 

And higher above it a late blooming lilac.. 

A deep purple one.. 

Lots of forget me nots.. 

Blue ones.... 

Sammi was glad to have me back.. smile..

He follows me everywhere... 

How was your day, my friends?  

Just a catch up one for me.. 

Making supper for Terry and going to bed early... 

So thankful just to be home.. 

I expect to go to the cottage over the weekend... 

By the way... 

I guess my music is off of my blog now.. 

Only you girls from the U. S. could hear it as we Canadians could not.. Play list has taken it off altogether now.. 

Sorry about that.. I will try and get something else.. 

For tonight though I am including this song..

JUST CLICK HERE....

Hope you enjoy... 

God bless until next time.. 

Sending you all a hug... 

The Handmade Holiday...

Greetings to everyone ... A very rainy day and evening here which means I will probably have a lovely good sleep tonight..Perhaps  I should buy a CD with rain and wind...LOL..

Anyway, we have been busy all day doing some catch up chores... Christmas is coming and there are lots of to do things in my list book... Poor Terry.. he is beginning to need a list, too....Now, if I were only as organized as my list book we would be accomplishing a lot...Oh well....

Speaking of lists and Christmas I have signed up for a  wee handmade challenge over at Plain and Joyful Living..I always like to make a few gifts for Christmas but this has inspired me to do more.. Not only is it about making homemade but about buying locally and recycling... Jot on over and link to lots of blogs and see what others are making..

So with that in mind I thought I would post a couple of things that I have been working on....

Here is a primitive  doll that I finished and is waiting to be wrapped up for a gift for someone..

Here are a box of candles that I redipped  to smell like cloves.. Pairing them with some candles holders that I bought at the thrift store and repainted and distressed will make gifts for someone on my list...

Also, I have been preserving and putting some aside for gifts..

Some pear chutney...

Well, girls I will post more things that I am working on at another time...

What are you working on? 

Thanks for stopping by.. Perhaps you will join the handmade challenge.. If you do please let me know and what you are making...

Have a lovely week ...

Love to you all..

Faye..
