Count your blessings....

...you'll probly realize you have more than you thought.

Something that i read and just havent forgot since was the thought that so often we're busy focusing on what we dont have, we dont even realize what we do have...so true!

This last saturday was a fun day. Jenni and i set up booth at the Okaw Valley Orchard festival. Its one neat place. They have rows n rows of apple trees n make the best cidar around. They also have a bed n breakfast plus lots of other fun activities.

Blessings...julie

Fall is here!

Well, happy fall to you all. The weather we've been having is just lovely. It made me happy to be able to get some of my sweat-shirts out again. I just really like wearing sweat-shirts=). I really like wearing flip-flops to. So this is the perfect weather when i can wear both!

I've decided the busy-ness will never stop. There will always be things to sew, places to go, things to take care. But thats ok. Life is great when its filled with things we enjoy doing.

I once again apologize for no pictures on this post. I always enjoy pictures on other blogs and wish i could get more on here but this computer just has not been letting us do it. One of these days...hopfully.

Yes, the store has all its thanksgiving decor out and i bought some mums the other day for the front porch. All the summer flowers are still looking so good and healthy, its sad to think that they'll be dying before long. We'll enjoy then while we can though. The other day some ladies stopped by and gathered some for center pieces for a banquet that night. Im glad they could be put to use like that.

Well here are actually some pictures. Our black cabinet looks totally different. For a long time it did a good job displaying all our colonial tin wax-burners. Now its looking good filled with all our seasonal decor.

Some of our antiques...




and primitives...

The other fri. us sister had a wonderful day together. Gina had off of school and mom watched the store for jenni and me. Little cody went with us. First we went to the local pumpkin patch. Its a really neat place where we took lots of pictures, got a apple cider slushie and pumpkin cookies, and jenni bought some pumpkins. There selection of pumpkins, gourds, etc. is just outragous...any color, shape, or size you wish for.

After the pumpkin patch, we were on our way to the big city to do some shopping. I dont think i was ever at the mall as long as we were that day. Cody got a bottle when we got there and it was about time for another one when we left. He gets one every 3 hrs so...yea you kind of get the idea.=)

Celebrate the harvest! Julie
