WHAT A GIFT I HAVE RECEIVED FROM WILLOW AND FIGS..........


My blog posting is usually not about STUFF but I had to post about this wonderful give-away I received from WILLOW AND FIGS.  Marilyn is an incredibly talented artist and an extremely generous lady.  She has an ETSY shop filled with all sorts of wonderful creations.  Please give her a visit.
NOW FOR A LITTLE PEAK AT WHAT ELSE I RECEIVED~~

Beautiful handmade cards.


A wonderful old edition of LITTLE WOMEN...happens to be one of my favorite stories about women.


And if the above is not enough she made this beautiful hand knitted neck scarf.  I don't knit so I am always in awe of anyone who has this wonderful talent.

Also, included, this beautiful thank-you card for following her beautiful blog......as if a thank-you were necessary.

MARILYN,  THANK-YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL TREASURES.  PLEASE BE SURE TO STOP BY TO SEE HER AND TELL HER JO SENT YOU.


Have a beautiful week......friends,

Jo

  18. Sending a sweet hello and thank you from Frog Hollow Farm - I really appreciated that you stopped by my post about the October conservatory!! Your comment was so funny, I realize that you live in a climate that doesn't need to worry about the winter weather like we do in NJ. The room was pretty dysfunctional when we first moved in to the house, but over the years we've worked on it here and there and finally I think we have it functional year round! Congratulations on your winning the give-away! Aren't bloggers the most generous and creative people? The gifts are just wonderful - enjoy them! Ciao, bella!

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
