Hi, my name is Angie. I am from Western NY, via England. This is my first time in a forum! I hope I do not break any 'rules'! Please keep me in line!
I love to knit, sew, read & garden and look forward to connecting with all you great ladies!! I do not know where to begin! Maybe one of these days I will figure out how to use one of those cute faces that I see! Big step for me!
TTFN
Angie.

Julie, what you are telling me is that I may be busier! Oh boy! Even though we will miss Adam, my husband and I are sort of looking forward to some 'us' time even if it is falling asleep in front of the TV! We had only known each other 2 days when we decied to marry (1987) and actually married 3 weeks later. Adam came along 2 years later so we really have not had much time just as a couple. Angie (Hey, what part of WNY are you from?)

Hi Angie,
Wow, you sound like me around ten years ago. Son (he's my youngest) doing his Eagle Scout, graduating, etc. Except he attended college locally, so he stayed home. A very busy time indeed. I always thought that when my children were grown that my life would calm down a bit. Guess what? It doesn't! Other things and happily more family members added bring a different kind of "busyness." I have a daughter, married with three children and my son has a lovely girlfriend. Well, have a wonderful Mother's Day - sounds like you have a beautiful day planned. Look forward to hearing about Mackenzie Childs. I don't even know where it is, but sounds great!

Julie, thanks for the tip. I am looking forward to checking out a new area, I always end up in the same old spots and forget to 'push the envelope' I should probably be working out in the garden but this is a special Mother's Day out with my mom in law and sister in law, so I am going to take the opportunity while I can! Things have been so crazy around here! I have a son who is graduating from high school in a few weeks, needs to take his driving test, finish his Boy Scout Eagle project, go to the prom, find a summer job AND we are now plowing through the process of financial aid for college! I am torn between wanting it all over and done and then guilty because he will be leaving home in August!So....a day out is needed! I will let you know what treasures I un-earth on my Mom's Day out!

Hi Angie,
I just noticed that you said you are going to Mackenzie Childs. I thought you might like to know that there is another store in East Aurora that carries Mackenzie Childs merchandise. It's called "The Cottage". It's on Main St. I think you'd love it.

Hello again,
Yes, Vidler's really is amazing. I've lived in WNY my whole life and in East Aurora since I was 8 years old! I feel so fortunate to live here. I can't imagine living anywhere else. What is everyone up to these days? Right now, I'm trying to get the yard in shape, what a job! But I'm so glad to be working outside. I think I'll get some pretty annuals in pots to put on my front and side steps. I have a lot of beautiful bulbs and perennials in my flower beds. I love Spring!

You guys are great! This is beginning to sound like a gathering in the making! For en ex-Brit.Chick this is very cool. I thought I was the only person who just loves her hot water bottle! Now I know where to get a 'real" one!
Anyone been to Mackenzie Childs? I am going for Mother's Day and am really looking forward to it.
Angie.

I'm up for a Western/Central New York Farmgirls gathering this summer - that would be a great time! (And I'm always runnning to Vidler's for those hard-to-find little things. Just the other week I stopped in because I've been looking for an "old-fashioned" hot water bottle, and of course they had it there! And the Vidler brothers are almost always in the store - aren't they a hoot? ;-) |

Welcome, Angie! I'm a transplant (1995) from the Buffalo/Niagara Falls area. You're the first one I've seen here that is from my old home. I just learned something new: I didn't know Bonnie and Kelly were transplants from WNY too! You're going to love this forum. Everyone is so helpful and friendly.

Welcome back Julie!
It's so neat to see that so many farmgirls live next to each other out there on the East coast!

Oh, Julie, I loved Vidler's. It was my first visit last weekend! Great store. We even met Mr. Vidler, such a lovely older gentleman!

Hi Everyone,
I haven't been on the site for quite a while; but this is so cool. I live in the town of Aurora (not right in the village of East Aurora, but out in South Wales). Vidlers is our own little general store; you get get almost anything you need there. Isn't is great. I'll have to be sure not to stay away so long again. |

Laluna, give me the 'heads up' when you will be in town and maybe we can gather the farmgirls!
Bonnie, it has been years since I went to Red Fox. Have you ever been to "The Barn" out on RT 64 in Ionia? The two story barn is just jammed with stuff and I mean stuff! Maybe a road-trip this summer is in order?
Laluna, we could meet you there!!!
Ang.

Hi ladies! Heh. My in-laws have a place on Conesus Lake, and I'm about one hour east of there out Route 20A (Aurora); once summer really hits, we'll be spending a fair amount of time out "your way" ;-) |

You are allowed to shout when you have teenagers!! Especially graduating ones!! My two are 12 & 14...just the tip of the iceberg!
So cool to know you have visited my favorite places! I am about due to catch another class at Mt pleasant...it's been a while since I've visited. Oh ya know where I did wander off too is Red Fox antiques on RTE 20...just about got lost in there a couple of weeks ago! If you like perusing through antiques that is a neat place!
Time to get my little guy from soccer! Keep in touch! E-mail me if you'd like...just click on "beemoosie" and it will take you to my e-mail.
Have a great night!

I have been in NY for almost 20 years. Boy, time flys. I remember landing at JFK for the first time at only 20 years old! MT Pleasant....let's just say I have to 'plan' those trips! I have taken a couple of classes there and think that I have signed up for 2 more this year! I am hoping they will remind me when it is close!! You know, I have not stopped into the new places in Avon yet either. Never enough hours in the day and we are pretty busy right now with a senior getting ready to graduate! AGHHH! (sorry, that was shouting wasn't it!)

How long have you been in NY, Angie?
Have you been to Mt. Pleasant Quilting Co in the York/Piffard area?
That's where I have taken several classes, I really like it there. There are a couple of new shops in Avon I haven't gotten to yet.

Yes, I do quilt (not very well but I enjoy it.) Yes, been to LSP quite a few times. Any time my family comes over from England we always make a trip to the "Grand Canyon Of The East" I go to church at New Lfe Family Church in Lakeville. (We are the 'church with all the drums') I do not have MJ's stitching book yet but just 'invested' in the back issue bundle and cannot wait to dig in AND Borders has a copy of her big book on hold for me! Saturday cannot come too soon!

Oh girl! I live right down the street from both those stores! And visit (too) often!! Especially country junktion!! I crochet and knit very little, but I just bought MaryJane's new stitching book and I really have the urge to crochet!!
Oh boy another Christian sister, how cool! I go to the Calvary Assembly of God in Chili, but I have lots of friends that go to Avon Weslyan (sp). And my mom works at Kraft!! I grew up in this area. Have you been to Letchworth State Park? Do you quilt?
