It's official!! MaryJane is coming to my house on October 8th!! Would it not be the most wonderful day if we could all get together with the Queen Bee and Meg, Lucas and Stella?! A time has not been chosen yet, but that's okay. We'll just have fun together until they arrive!! If you would like to join us for this once in a lifetime event, e-mail me through the forum with your home address and I will mail you an "official" invitation (along with directions to my house.) A house full of farmgirls. How cool will that be?

I'm sooo excited for you Karin!! I'd been meaning to congatulate you! Wow!!!! You must be giddy!!You deserve it!!! Have a wonderful time and take lots of pictures for us! Many many hugs! P.S. Do you remember the old Ellen DeGeneres sitcom? There was an episode where Martha Stewart shows up at her house for Thanksgiving! Kinda like an "I love Lucy episode"!! So funny!!! Anyway, that's how I'd be feeling if Maryjane were coming to MY house!!HUGS!! |

I am seriously interested in coming, too. It is about a five hour drive from where I am. October 8! Tell us more about how her visit to you came about! I bet you won the pinkeep contest! Yours was so beautiful.
I cannot email from this site, but if you get a moment, could you email me? I will then reply with my address. If you are part of the mail art project, my address is on those lists already.
Thank you! Jeannie

Kathie- Ellenwood is straight up 75N, with a slight hop to 675N. We are 3 1/2 hours north of Valdosta. Easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy!

Oh that is very cool Karin, hope you all have a ball! O.K., This is not very farmgirl of me to not know this, but what is a pinkeeper? Is it what we call a pin cushion? A pad you tie around your wrist to keep your pins handy.
Friends are the best collectables. |

oh karin .. how fun and exciting! i've been wantin' FOREVER for maryjane to amble to this part of the country .. and since she's gonna' be 'in the area' .. during the time-frame of my planned 'autumn farmgirl gathering' (i try to do one of these each season!) ... i'm trying to conjure up a get-together with her in KENTUCKY too so that the kentucky farmgirls will also have a chance to spend a little time with her.
i had a mos' wunnerful dolly club for ten years in Maryland .. and whenever a doll teacher was teaching in a state not too far away .. we would make arrangements for them to do 'double-duty' and come to our club to teach too. it saved a lot of wear and tear in travellin' and on airfares .. and still got them introduced to more areas.
i gotta' go peek at those pin cushions now! soooo much talent on this extended-farm of maryjanes! xoxo, frannie

well karin dear .. if for some reason .. maryjane and family can't make it to kentucky .. i could head for atlanta by plane and rent a car! i take hank to the airport on october 4 .. he's headed to california to get together with some olde rugby playin' buddies of his .. he returns on the 8th .. we could leave the car at the airport .. for him to drive home in ...
how far are you from atlanta?) i could spend a couple days visiting my momma's family in 'oakman and elijay' area .. i also have a sweet friend in atlanta i could drop in on! i could gather with you gurls on the 8th .. or is it the 9th? .. then head back home and honey hunk could pick me up at the airport.
soon's i hear from maryjane as to whether or not they can head for kentucky after atlanta .. i'll know more what my plans are. i'm hoping she can indeed come here .. and i'll try and conjure up some farmgirls for her to gather with .. and i would dearly love to show her our sweet county of GREEN and our little town of Greensburg. will let you know when i know more ..
how far from ATLANTA are you? and in which direction? send me your addy so i can 'mapquest' it to see how long a drive i would have from atlanta. (jus' in case!) xoxo, frannie

And her studio is flat to die for. :) I do hope she can come. She does not get off work until 3:30 or so, but I told her that we will still be going strong!! Or to take the day off. hee hee I'll let you know when I hear from her.
