Look what I picked up from my mailbox yesterday, my Apple Swap Angel sent me the best Goodies, Beautiful Vintage Look Handpainted Pottery From “Emerson Creek Pottery” in Bedford, VA Apple Mug, my new favorite go to Mug. I showed it to my two guys and said, see this it is mine do not touch! She also made me a really cute Granny Smith Apple Mug Rug, Home made Warm Apple Spice Coffee “ Yummy “, she sent some apple spice and pumpkin teas, Apple Spice Soap, and a recipe for Apple Soup. She did not forget a thing, she calls the sweet package, “Apple Retreat Kit” since it is all about warm and cozy ways to enjoy Apple Goodness. And that it is!
Thank you so much Dear, Sweet Angel for making me feel so special!
Farmgirl Sisters are the Best and Hostess Angels too!
Hugs, Deb #1582 Blessed in Colorado

Posted - Sep 29 2017 : 07:25:19 AM Joyce, thank you so much for all the lovely apple goodies. I had been working outside for hours yesterday and that tea just hit the spot. It was absolutely delicious. I tried the preserves on some yogurt and they had such a lovely flavour. The candle and soap smell lovely. Thank you for being my partner again.

Posted - Sep 25 2017 : 3:46:34 PM Bonnie, thank you, thank you, thank you! What a wonderful lot and even the box smelled good from the simmering potpourri! I will truly enjoy all of the things. I can't wait to try the pie bird. I bake A LOT of pies and, if you can believe it, have never tried one. The turnover maker looks like it can be used for so many things. The list goes on. What a generous swappy Pictures to follow (sorry, my phone is upstairs and I just can't climb them right now)

Posted - Sep 22 2017 : 07:46:26 AM Aw, I'm glad you like it! I cannot take credit for the doll as I do crochet but this was made by my daughter. I had a bit of difficulty finding things that were apple-y. It was a fun swap and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I LOVE my towels!

Posted - Sep 17 2017 : 1:02:02 PM Heather your new baby is adorable! We milked 100 Holstein cows. They were huge, some as tall as me and I am 5'7". I loved them! I learned so much from them. We ran two Jersey bulls with our cows, they fussed a lot. My sister is a city girl and has always believed herself to be superior to me...but I have lived among and learned from God's creatures. Even though I have a college degree, and taught school...My best and most valuable leading has come from cows, pigs, horses, dogs, cats, deer, wild turkeys, birds, donkeys, chickens etc. I am not the country bumpkin that my sister believes I am...but I prefer to spend my time where I can see the stars and moon at night, the clouds building to show a weather change coming, I love the smell of God's perfumes...roses, flowers, trees, and the first raindrops on parched earth. I prefer to hear the birds and animal sounds rather than twelve lanes of speeding vehicles, honking horns and sirens day and night. I loved the dairy barn on a cold morning, after the cows were in place, washed up and the doors were c!osed, the rhythm of them chewing their food, the Milker's sucking the milk out of those enormous udders, the tails swishing... Their body heat and the warm water made it a nice place to be...out of the North wind.
