Alee, about those dolls..well... it was sort of a secret!
Hey Blueroses, thank-you for the welcome! I think I'm liking this whole Farmgirl thing!

Welcome Angie! I am another WNY-er still living in the area...I think there are turning out to be quite a few of us here (who knew? ;-)
Enjoy your time here (I always wish I had more of it myself). |

That is so awesome! So, you know all about Knit One-Scrapbook Too and Country Junktion(?) And you read the Penny Saver (where I work!)AND you are a fellow Christian! You know, are there any Christian topics on the forum? Might be cool to start one?

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?

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!

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.

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!)

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!

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!!!

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. |

Welcome back Julie!

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.

| 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? ;-) |

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.

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!

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.

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!
