Farmgirl Jubilee Opening Statement
The first annual Farmgirl Jubilee was celebrated in 2015, forever more to be held during the first weekend in May. During our special weekend, together in person or online, we celebrate friendships and our connections to our rural roots. It’s when we honor our homes, families, and friends. We celebrate by adding beautiful gardens to urban backyards, by discovering the satisfaction of home-cooked meals made with healthy ingredients, by renewing our commitment to the simplification of our daily lives, by rediscovering outdoor spaces together with friends, and by meeting new friends who inspire us and help us stay the course in meaningful ways. Thank you for joining us. Now it’s time to tie one on … an apron, of course!

A Surprise Farmgirl Jubilee Box arrived for me from Karla Hendricks. The box was overflowing with Easter Treasures and Rooster/Chicken Goodies as well. A really cute Jubilee Apron which Karla maybe made and a hand painted egg. Also a beautiful strawberry teacup and a variety of tea to celebrate.It was like
Christmas and all holidays rolled into one. On May 7th I will have a cup of tea to celebrate this years Jubilee and to honor Karla and all my Farmgirl Sisters/Friends that I have made over the years.
Thank you Karla for all my surprises and making me feel special!
Hugs,
Deb

Terri, a late but heartfelt welcome to Texas. To see a lightening bug aka fire fly is a wondrous thing indeed. Glad you got to see your first and hopefully not your last one.

This 2017 I will be happily joining the crowd for our JUBILEE, Queen Elizebeth had her Golden Jubilee.
How awesome to have this in our history. I wish I could travel to Mary Janes Farm. Though I am now helping my husband take care of his brother. He can't be left alone. So I will find time in the future. I Love Mary Jane and Everyone. Thank you to all who have helped me along the way. Kathleen
Have a blessed day. Farmgirl Sister #6701 |

Oh goodness..The mini apron banner sounds neat. Is there a pattern. The only sewing I've done is I hand sewed my daughter's Christmas dresses one year. Just found one and I'm hoping it'll fit my last girl. |

I am a newby to the sisterhood but would love to celebrate the jubilee here in southern Alabama and I think the mini apron idea for the banner is adorable! I can't wait to begin the celebration! Working on several badges now but I can do the apron banner as well while the hubs is gone! ;)

I wish I could take credit for this idea,,, BUT,, the credit goes to Sara aka YellowRose.... she actually came up with the idea...
So what do you all think???

Thank-you Sara for spreading the news about our September Apple Festival!! I am already thinking about it and excited.
Jan, please to meet you and I hope you will jump in for the Apple Festival. We always have fun with these virtual celebrations and everyone can participate at whatever level they wish. Do you like apples? If so, do you have favorite recipes? We will be sharing those recipes in September here so stay tuned for new ideas.

Welcome Jan, to the Farm. We celebrate Jubilee each May - I'm sorry you missed it but you are in time to join in on the fun for our September Apple Festival. You can read all about it at http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/snitz/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=69835&whichpage=1
We follow a general theme but do it our way. I will start planning what I will do this year around July/August and hopefully have it done by the festival.
