This Is Where You'll Find Me!

Hello Prim Friends!

Why oh Why does life have to be soooo busy???

Where oh Where does the time go???

Any of you feeling that way??? 

I really don't understand what's going on ~ it seems the days are going faster and faster.

I don't feel like I accomplish much in a day.  Why???

Well if you've been looking for me ~ This is where you'll find me.

I've set up at our local farmers/craft market on Fridays before I have to go help out at the restaurant.

(No ~ that's not me ~ that's my sister Sandy) 

I'm so grateful to have her in my life ~ she helps me out soooo much. 

What would I do without her???

My friend and next door neighbor Vera ~ Kauffv Designs is also setting up there.

Trying to talk her into doing posts on her blog ~ she does beautiful paintings!!!

(Hint Hint Vera!)

There are so many wonderful productive vendors at the market.

Look at all the wonderful produce and such.

Beans!

I Love fresh cut beans!

Beets ~ Another wonderful vegetable!

What in the world are these???  Do they taste like cabbage???

Squash ~ Aren't they sooo pretty all in a row???

YUM!!!!

Look how big they are!!!  Another YUM!!!

Have to have some pretties too!!!

Honey!!!  I've found a local vendor to buy some beeswax from ~ YIPPEE!!!

(Honey Bee Ware)

Have you ever tried these???  Health shot loaded in a straw!!!

So that's where I'll be every Friday ~ unless it's raining.

You'll also find me working away on my creations ~ Just a little peek at what I've been working on.

Another wonderful pattern from Jackie Schmidt and spider web hunting!

Pumpkin Head make-do ~ pattern from Bittersweet Folkart!

(See I'm trying to multi task ~ reading blogs while I work)

No that's not all I've been working on ~ can't give it all away ~ I'm in swaps!!!

 

You'll also find me here ~ After working on creations all day ~ I just need to take a break.

 

Where did that squirrel go???

Watching the sun set.

Taking pictures of the wildflowers ~ just taking it all in!

So serene

Look how fast it changes in a matter of minutes.

 

What's that noise in the distance ~ explore ~ Cranes.

And ~ Watching the moon rise high!

 

So that's where I'll be!

Busy as a Bee on a Sunflower!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I love visits from my friends.

 

Wishing you all a Wonderful and Joyous Day!!!

Just One More Thing!!!

Hello Friends!

So sorry I've been missing in action again ~ I've been trying to read every one's blog post when I can and when time permits I do post comments. 

The days just seem to be passing me by so quickly and I'm tired by the end of the day.

Hopefully I'll catch up soon and can be on an even pace... smile...

I did get back to Rita's wonderful prim shop and took some pics of her shop for all of you to see.

You never know when you'll be in the area and would like to stop by!!!

Graceful Reminders ~ Appleton WI

Sorry about the glare in some of the pics ~ the sun was shining so bright that day.

So many wonderful prim goodies in her shop!!!

Please let her know I sent ya!!!

Yep more decorative glass jars!

The two jars on the left are mustard jars ~ the two jars in the back are honey jars ~ just love those!

The jar on the right is a peanut butter jar.

I did purchase other items ~ buttons, clothes pins, skeleton keys, tin molds and sewing notions.

Went over to A Simpler Time in Ripon ~ was a little disappointed ~ was hoping to see lots of fall prim goodies ~ but they haven't all arrived yet ~ going to have to make another trip!!!

I bought the child's chair at Graceful Reminders the pumpkin I purchased at A Simpler Time!

The Angels Embraced Her

With much sadness and a heavy heart my Best Friend Kim lost her Mother today to cancer.

She really fought a good fight ~ but she just wasn't stong enough.

Thanks to Everyone who had her in your thoughts and prayers.

God looked around his garden

and found an empty place,

He then looked down upon earth

and saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you

and lifted you to rest.

God's garden must be beautiful

He always takes the best.

He knew you were suffering

He knew you were in pain.

He knew that you would never

get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough

and the hills were hard to climb.

So he closed your weary eyelids

and whispered "Peace Bethine"

It broke our hearts to lose you

but you didn't go alone.

For part of us went with you

The day God called you home.

I am sure Sandy is at peace and is pulling weeds and tending to God's gardens ~ something she truely loved to do.

Life is but a stopping place,

a pause in what's to be.

A resting place along the road

to sweet eternity.

We all have different journeys,

different paths along the way.

We all were meant to learn some things,

but never meant to stay....

Our destination is a place

far greater than we know.

For some the journey's quicker,

for some the journey's slow.

And when the journey finally ends,

we'll claim a great reward.

And find an everlasting peace

together with the Lord.

Sandy you will be greatly missed but forever in our hearts.

Until next time

Smile at a Stranger, Give someone a Hug and always say

I LOVE YOU!

Blessings
