Friday Finds and a New One From Coffee Break Designs

Just listed in my shop yesterday is a runner. When selecting colors for this project, I pulled out a variety of cones and put them next to each other to see how they looked.

The result was a group of warm colors with names like champagne, coral, lipstick, and light rust.

Summer and Autumn Wrap the Hills Handwoven Table Runner

The colors are warm, like summer, but so bright, like the changing leaves in autumn.

Now for some great finds.

I want this for my booth at the farmers market! Vintage Wood A-Treat Soda Crate Shelf or Display Case by Ingenuity In Display

Remember Our Soldiers. Also Some New Garden Stuff

Remember those who serve and those who gave their lives for the freedoms we enjoy. Thank a soldier and a veteran.

Patriotism in truest form by Jrzy Girl Photography

My Big Poppy has finally bloomed. The two pictures above show the bud (very odd looking, isn't it?) and the flower this morning.

The first snow pea flower!

Lots of grapes on the grape vine.

My potatoes are getting bigger! You will all just have to deal with my fascination for growing these. I cannot explain it.

The two blueberry bushes - One loaded with berries and the other following behind with flowers. We will have to cover these with nets once they start ripening. The birds love them.

I'm hoping my mother will visit my blog soon. She's always loved gardening but is now limited to a container garden on her balcony.

Linen Tobacco Flower Cuff

I'm working on new things every day. Here is the latest, just posted on Etsy this morning.

This weekend take a moment to remember all our soldiers who gave their lives to protect the freedoms we live by in this great country. If you see a soldier or veteran, shake their hand and thank them for their service. Whatever you think about the current state of affairs, know that they would die for our freedoms.

So, to you I say, Thank you and God bless you.

Juicy Tangerine

I love, love, love this color! It makes me think of juicy tangerines and oranges. Linen in tangerine. And the button is too cute. I'm pretty sure I picked it up at the Sheep and Wool Fest in Rhinebeck, but I don't remember when or the vendor (sorry!).

Tangerine Linen Cuff

I'm revin' up my inventory for the Farmers Market and the co-op!

Cozy Cuff and A Warm Day - ahhh

Another cuff in the shop.

Cottage Pink Cuff

We had a frost warning last night so we covered the vegetable plants in the gardens with tarps and sheets. I don't think it got very cold, but I'm glad we did it. Here are some pictures of a few things around the yard.

Small pears on the trees!

Lots of plums, too. They look like tiny green olives.

My row of potatoes.



Potato plant close up. These are all Yukon Gold potatoes.

Another Treasury!

Such a good feeling! My Teal and Brown handwoven towels are in this Etsy treasury, up until tomorrow.

Thank you, Modern Needlepoint!
