OH WHAT FUN I HAD TODAY! (took lots of pictures .. will post them tomorrow when i return from louisville .. going to the Mellwood Arts Center with our Green County Arts Council .. we're going to have an ARTS CENTER right in our town too!!)
met Luna at Kathy's wonderful home .. had lunch and sat and talked about some fun 'CABIN SALES' coming up soon at Kathy Sugarbuckets log cabin and beautiful farm house! Luna will be doing some spinning demonstrations . i'll be showin' how to make dolls .. and TONS of antiques will be for sale! (i'll post all the particulars on this too in case you are close enough to join us!)
then we ambled over to Luna's incredible Farmhouse and Sheep Farm .. oh what fun they are! And Alan made us the most deeeeeeeeelicious italian dish for dinner! Luna showed us her home and her studio and how she cards her wool. What a wonderful set-up she has!
THEN .. we all piled in my car and went to the movies .. to see .. OF COURSE ... MAMA MIA ... (my THIRD time to see it .. HA! i even saw it LAST night with a buncha' Kentucky gurlfrenz!) AND i would go back AGAIN in a heartbeat.
OH MY! jus' wait t'il you see the fabulous SCHOOL DESK i got from Luna for my SchoolHouse porch! AND .. be still my heart .. the antique 'wash tub' i got from Kathy's log cabin!!! i'm gonna' put it on our back porch near my antique clothes line (gotta' put that one up real soon!)
HA! wasn't i 'downsizing'? (actually, i have a HUGE pile of things to go to my antiques shoppe .. soooo .. i have plenty of room for these two new wonderous pieces!)
Luna, Kathy and I also planned our GURLFRENZ GATHERING for October. i'll tell ya'll all about it tomorrow .. gotta' hit the bed now .. those gurlz will be knocking on my door at 8 a.m. CENTRAL time tomorrow!!!
good night sweet princesses! xo

karin sweetie .. can YOU amble up this way to see us an play?
nancy .. you are a bit further .. but we promise you grande fun and 'true true friends' if you can come too! it is so wonderful to have kindred sisters who live near you .. glad you had such a great time with your fam .. t'would be swell if they could move closer to you! remember the olde saying: BUILD IT .. AND THEY WILL COME!
i jus' know there has to be some fun friends who love what you love not far from you!
i remember when we moved to our big 'ole house in tucked back in the woods along the river in maryland .. it was totally private .. and i had just retired and wanted some local friends.
i decided i had a coupla' choices .. either stand at the end of our VERY long drive-way with a sign saying: "I'M LONELY .. PLEASE COME PLAY IN MY YARD" .. (but decided since truckers drove up and down that road .. i might not get the kind of friends i wanted) .. THEREFORE .. i chose my other method . and it worked splendidly! i started both the doll club and having 'women's tea parties' .. finding something that i thought other women would enjoy! AND i had 20 people at my FIRST tea party .. and could have had 40 at the second and 80 at the third .. (so i did lots of tea parties) .. and our dolly club had between 25 and a hundred members .. with about 30 and more of them showing up at each gathering! WOWZER! talk about your 'true friends' .. i will have loving memories of our times together forever.
sooooooo .. mayhaps you could start a 'farmgirl chapter' .. or do fun 'shabby shopping' trips for women (we used to do these all the time!)
well, kiddos .. if any of ya'll can join us .. we'd love it. we'll have a buncha' local friends ... well .. i'll write more about our gathering in my Kentucky Gurlfrenz Gathering thread! xo
hope you enjoyed playing with kathy, luna and me! xo

sweet view on kathy's farm
kathy is making these great TWIG structures .. this one is the entry to her garden ..
this one is 'in progress' .. it will be a 'grape arbor'.
when we put up my antique clothes line .. i'm going to take the 'present one' and do the same twiggy thing with it for vines to grow up!
