And Back To Monday...

 

I hope you had a nice weekend. I just never can believe how fast our weekends just race by. 

Today is just a lovely day. Our town  made national news because of a fire in our local mountains. I do hope they get it out but the news report said it hasn't  burned this area before so that could make it a bad fire. 

I wanted to share some goodies I received this week. First off this surprise arrived. 

This is from Three Sheep Studio. I sent her some seeds and she sent me this, I was over whelmed by her kindness not to mention this little kit is so impressive. It comes with every thing you need to make these strawberries.

 

Here is all of the lovely wool to get you started and her directions are fantastic. I have petted the wool lots this weekend. I have also enjoyed reading the directions. I have tried to make these strawberries on my own before and there was always one or two things I was always unclear on and having the nice directions helped me finally see it in my head.  Rose has lovely patterns in her Etsy Store.

My next wonderful goodies came from Lauren at Rugs and Pugs.
She makes wonderful jewelery out of silver spoons and she also makes garden markers. I have some pots growing and I knew I needed some of that silverware to just dress them up a bit.

So here they are:

 

I need to replant the Chamomile because the chickens thought it was there for them to eat. My favorite tea is Chamomile and having the fresh flowers  makes the best tea.
She also sent a surprise gift with this, a butter knife with sea glass.

Isn't that nice? Thank you both Lauren and Rose for your delightful goodies this week. 

One of my sons told a funny story about how when he was young there was a Ninja Turtle episode he watched where a kid had special powers because he had sea glass on a pencil. He said " He walked in and picked up the butter knife and waited to see if it gave him special powers."

I don't think I have ever showed you the cantaloupe. They are just covered in blossoms.

I guess I don't pay much attention to them. I am just pleasantly surprised when ever I am out here walking around. 

Lots of little peppers in here. They smell so good when they are being cooked.

Little tomatoes, little yellow squash and more blossoms. I found pumpkin blossoms yesterday.

It is Monday after all and we spend so much time outside we do get the house pretty dirty. I hope your Monday is lovely and that you have a wonderful week.
Thank you so much for stopping by today,
~Kim~
