Some of the things in there look more like things purchased off the internet for resale. I still love digging through to find the real stuff!<BR/><BR/>Mom and I wanted a clothes line to dry things, since our dryer doesn't work very well anyway, and takes forever to dry our sheets! One of the curses of living in a neighborhood though is the Homeowners Association, who likes to put bans on things like a good 'ol fashioned clothes line. <BR/><BR/>The pansies at little Sawyer's feet are lovely :) I went to start some seeds yesterday, only to find that I only 4 seeds in my pansy packet left! Our growing season is very short here, when the seed's instructions say "plant past danger of all frost", that means late May, as it snowed last week. One good thing about Colorado, the weather is definately not boring!<BR/><BR/>Have a lovely day! <BR/><BR/>~*~Jessica~*~~*~Jessica~*~https://www.blogger.com/profile/14354684441895765327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3955341194636832101.post-43728088920331252952008-05-15T19:33:00.000-04:002008-05-15T19:33:00.000-04:00Dear Ashley,After just visiting your dear Momma an...Dear Ashley,<BR/><BR/>After just visiting your dear Momma and being treated to a delightful and inspiring post, not to mention that delicious looking strawberry shortcake! I was equally delighted to find your inspiring and lovely post!<BR/><BR/>I, too, love to hang clothing, sheets, and linens outside to dry! I agree with everything you said, and I do think the job has been well done as the outdoor dried clothing is folded! Everything smells so fresh and there is nothing like sleeping on sheets that have been dried in the sunshine with a warm breeze! Indeed, you are truly taking care of your family! I love doing old-fashioned things too!<BR/><BR/>The embroidered placemats you found at the antique mall are so beautiful! Oh yes, the stitching is very neat and precise. I love how this dear woman took the time to make these to beautify her home, and as you said, "loved her home and took pride in how it looked and was kept!"<BR/><BR/>You are a visionary daughter... thinking of ways to do extra things each day to your home and thinking of ways to ease your dear Mommas' load! You are doing a wonderful job of preparing yourself for your own dear home and what a wonderful wife, mother and homemaker you will be! You are using your time wisely and I am proud of you!<BR/><BR/>I love that sweet Sawyer arranged all your garden rabbits. He is precious and I can see the delight on his face, looking at a job well done! I like how he has them munching the pansies!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09955769851619781088noreply@blogger.com
