So much to post about…got time?

Yep, lots of things have been going on since my last post. As I write this I’m listing to my very first Christmas songs…that’s right…Cable TV Songs of the Season has them on – and so do I!!

First I must say I was overwhelmed with the response I received from my last post about my Niece…she thanks you as well as I do.
Over the past 4 years since I have had my blog I found there are many, many wonderful friends I have never met and most likely will never meet.  We all post comments to each other and support each other when there is a request for prayers – this just showed me what beautiful people you are…my heart is filled.  THANK YOU.

Friday she was released from the hospital to go home to heal…then she starts PT – my brother/wife basically moved in to help out until she is better. Things are working out good…Tina is the strongest 40+ person I know – she will do just fine with the love of her family and her Faith.

I didn’t put it in my post but we were in Pennsylvania when we got the call about the accident so it was cut short but that was fine as we were finished with what we went out there for.

We went to Market Square and also I had to deliver some products a lady ordered for her shop.
If you haven’t been into ‘DAYS GONE BY CREATIONS’ on Main St. in Lititz, PA, you must.
Cindy is the sweetest lady and so complimentary on my products.
We stopped in to her shop the morning after the news of the accident and no sleep the night before so the picture is not that good…but I wanted you to see Cindy!

I made a few purchases while in PA…now who wouldn’t – it’s Colonial/Prim country for sure!!!

Got this huge basket  – I wish I could have bought more but I really don’t have room for more…but her prices were soooo low.
I put it a few places so you can see the size better.
What I’m going to do is put some large birch twigs in it with some tall twig lights for Christmas – think it will look great!

And a must when I shop are Family Heirloom Weavers products…
This is a bedspread and pillow bolster covers – done with a dark Navy – I’m going to use it in the guest room.  I have enough Red going on in the house so thought Navy would work well in there.

And some table squares and a table cloth and a throw
Again, the Navy thing going on here too – but I liked the pattern so much and they didn’t make it in any other color.

The table square on the left is for a customer and the one on the right is mine.

This is the throw – but I’m going to use it for the holidays – it’s called 7 Snowballs

And some small pillows that may be used as gifts – done in the woven fabrics (I just now noticed the larger pillow is made of the same woven as the table square for my customer….)
3 pillows

So what else did I buy or do….oh I bought a double arm Whalers Lamp for the family room – they don’t give off much light but they sure do look nice at night.

So the day we got out there we didn’t really have much to do so we just took a ride in the country – saw lots of Amish out in the fields and many kids playing after school and in Bird In Hand we came across the place where they give Hot Air Balloon rides…Two were getting ready to take to the sky so we drove in and watched for a bit.

Oh to have the need to buy this property…what a beauty – but I bet it needs tons of work inside.  Look at that thatched roof…neat!!!VF property for sale 1

Oh on the way out to PA we saw they are replacing the service plazas…this one is going to be gorgeous. Done in Colonial stone – I’m so anxious to see this beauty finished. (if you click on the picture you may be able to see the stone closer)

Just a few random scenery photos.
This was parked at the Sideling Hill service plaza in PA.

Now I come to the end with a little lightness with Aidan and Lola…on Sunday before we left for PA the boys came over to help put the plastic on the screen room and Aidan got to play with Lola…which doesn’t happen often but Lola was not feeling well so she relented – I think she actually liked it because she never moved and let him do whatever he wanted…guess she loved being all covered up.

Before we left for PA I got out my hooked rug to work on – I’m starting to get a bit free with my time so maybe now I can work on it…been almost a year since I’ve had it – about time I got going on it!
THEN…

Lots of pictures I know…but I also know you all love looking at pictures instead of huge paragraphs of words…
Next post will have some pictures from Roots Market – a must farm market to go to if you are in the Lancaster area.

Again, thank you for the outpouring for Tina…
Bless you all and watch out for the other guy please!!!  You will be missed.
