french hen farm - fall sale is coming!

Ahh yes, I skipped the Country Living Fair this year...saving up my bucks for Linda's sale.  French Hen Farm...a beautiful red barn, a lively group of gals with gorgeous goodies!  If you're in the central Ohio area, GO!  This is a lovely little sale that's steeped with soul and creativity.

French Hen Farm Fall Sale - Friday & Saturday, October 1st & 2nd, 9 to 5.

when life hands you a perfectly fine saturday...

when good things happen to nice people...

How absolutely delighted & excited I am for my friend, Mary.  We met lots of years ago when we worked together, side-by-side and believe me when I say that we've shared many-a-laugh (and some pretty good family stories!)  She's one of those gals who celebrates life, is an ever-thoughtful mom and an all-around creative, country soul.  I don't get the pleasure of her in-person company as much anymore, but my heart swells for her tonight as I read her newly published feature in the Oct./Nov. issue of MaryJanes Farm.  Congratulations you dear, sweet lady!  It's just the beginning for you...

it wouldn't be the holidays without...matthew mead!

Have you ordered your copy?  Did you know it's only available here?  Matthew Mead, the king of style, design & fresh ideas.  This is one bookazine that you won't want to be without this Christmas...hurry over to get yours.  (And, there just might be a little something featured from someone you know!  Wink.)

this morning

After 15 years of living in this old farmhouse, I've never heard it.  (I guess it takes a puppy to get you outside early on a Sunday morning,)  Cool, crisp, quiet...then, early morning church bells. Absolutely glorious.
