WOW where to start...they are just lovely. So warm and genuine just like I expected! And that little Stella...just beautiful! Couldnt stop kissing that little head. It was just a wonderful evening with what seemed like old friends. Like we had known one another always. I will be posting pictures soon. Husband and I are going to Belk at noon today. I will give a full report then. Just had to say if you have a chance to meet MJ and crew at your local or NOT so local (we drove 4 hours) Belk...DO IT. You will not be sorry.
More later farmgirls!

Oh Susan, I'm so glad that you met. You were the first person that I read about in MaryJane's book...because I had to flip right to farmgirl business! I would have thought that you already knew each other - so glad that if felt as though you had for years.
Enjoy the rest of your vacation!

Dear farmgirl friends....oh my goodness - had a wonderful time this afternoon! It was just perfect! I am on my macbook and do not know how to upload pictures to my server from here. But as soon as I get home tomorrow evening I will.
I tell you that Stella is just absolutely squeezable! And when you meet her parents and grandma you know why...that baby is LOVED!
I will write much more later. OH...and everything in the linen line is just beautiful! The towels are so lovely...Husband thought they were the best feeling towels he'd ever seen. So we are going home with a big stack!
Much love to you all. Pictures later I promise!

awwww JO you are too too nice. Thank you though. I have had a blast this weekend. Spending time with MJ & family and a weekend away with my husband. It has been great. I cannot wait to upload pictures tomorrow. I have a precious one of Lucas & Stella. Laura if you were there I didnt find you. I called out for you a couple of times but no answer. Hope all is well with you, if you werent there you missed a beautiful day. I would have loved to meet you.
soon farmgirl friend ... pictures soon!

Susan- You lucky girl getting an entire weekend away!! I cannot wait to see your pics. My camera batteries died just as MJ and Meg came out to talk and I had to wait for DH to show up and bring new ones for me!! So, I did not get as many pictures as I would have liked. I hope you had better luck. :) I cannot wait to see yours!!

We would love to go to Maine in October!
If ya'll (I just loved the southern drawl...I wanted to bring it home with me, along with Susan too!) go to Susan's blog and scroll below the pictures from Jackson, there is the most beautiful apron that she says she is gifting...Well, I am one of the luckier farmgirls on earth! And it IS the MOST beautiful apron! And note the CUTEST cherry apron Stella Jane is wearing. Susan is just fabulous! Susan, it was marvelous to meet you!!!!

Susan -- thanks so much for sharing the wonderful pictures. I have to agree with you when you said meeting MJ and her family is like being with old friends. When we met all of them at Farm Fair last year it was like we had known them forever. In fact, all of the Farm crew is like that. MJ just has this natural ability to make everyone feel like they are the most important person on earth! Stella is adorable!!! Gotta get some of those towels.
Moscow is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to. Susan, you have to make the trip!
