Paula,
you are just too nice, no wonder you and Frannie are friends. I miss her when she has other things to do and can't be on the site, she keeps us hoppen, is that a word? it sure doesn't look right. Can hardly wait for garage sale season, got myself a fix at a thrift store last week, got four half aprons from the 1950"s, a set of dishes, and a really cute teapot. already THAT fix is wearing off. Been doing a lot of needlework, reading, sewing, bothering Richard etc. had a brand new Mary Jane farm magizine ready to mail to one of the girls because I had an extra, but my youngest Grandaughter decided to test out her skills with scissors, so I wrote to Anne and told her not to expect the magizine. I must say she is getting better with the scissors. well it seems that third cup of tea has made me a little type crazy and so I better stop. talk to you soon.

Hi Paula and welcome!!! Your website is very cool. Your pumpkin spice candle sounds wonderful and I have to agree, soy candles are the best, they burn very clean. Are you discontinuing the candles or why are the quantities limited? |

Hi Laura! Thanks for such wonderful words!! Primitive is wonderful.....it takes me back to when woman worked hard..harder then they do today...for the most simple things that come so easily to us today. I love things that past woman have touched...I love feelin' that bond with them. If only they could see us now....wouldn't they chuckle.LOL
Family.........well darlin'..that would take a WHOLE day to tell you about!LOL Yes...the poor bird. Really we've had him for 3 years now...and the cats don't even look at him anymore, but I do remember one night there was quite a a noise from the living room, I ran out to see our 24lb black cat just a swingin' from the birdcage! The look on the cats face was so wonderful! Talk about a deer in headlights! And the bird...well he was just sittin' on the perch watchin'...not a feather out of place. Needless to say, Zen, our birds name, is a bit higher up in his cage!
Thanks again for such a wonderful welcome! As you can tell ..I LOVE to chat!LOL So you just holler anytime!!!
Sweet Blessins',
Paula :o)

Hi Paula,
Glad you decided to jump on the wagon, lots of good things going on here, and a lot of it is because of our miss franie. Yea, that rusty pin thing as me stumped, unless you do a lot of sewing and can't aford new pins.
