summer time

It's been such beautiful sunny weather- lots of inspiring views....

It has been great sleeping in the teepee- you can even see the stars at night through the smoke opening.  And it's next to the creek, so there is a beautiful lullaby to sing you to sleep.....

Lavender Fair!

Well, it's official! I will be participating in the Oregon Lavender Festival Artisan Fair coming up this weekend- so if you find yourself in the area come by and visit me at my booth. I will have all sorts of goodies: sachets, bags, pillows and cards. Make sure to introduce yourself if I don't already know you (mom)! The Fair is July 11-12 in the town of Yamhill (Oregon)- It's really fun and wonderfully scented.

enjoying summer

hi all! as you know, it's hard to be inside in front of the computer when it's beautiful and summery outside. Here is a bit of what I've been doing: -picking blueberries -trying to keep coyotes away -weeding -weeding -weeding (haha) -sewing -getting another (the 3rd!) card order from Anthropologie -woo hoo!

summertime.....

okay well the living isn't exactly easy.... but I am definately enjoying blueberries and hay cutting and fields of lavender. Our next door neighbor has a wrecking/metal recycle yard (not too picturesque) anyway- the nicest people, and they gave us tickets to the local mud drags... I have to say it was pretty entertaining. Our neighbors wife was driving one of the cars, and she sure was impressive, I thought she was going to tip over. You wouldn't catch me doing that, but it was nice to see something I wouldn't normally have sought out! On the same day we went through the Oregon Lavender Festival- and visited a few farms, inhaling the scent! Maybe next year will be the year for our field. We had our hay cut, but it's been so wet that we haven't been able to bale it yet. So perhaps we will be making a straw bale hut up on our hill- we shall see... On the work front, I hired an assistant, Bonnie- she used to be a lawyer! but now is in love with art and wants to do something in an artistic area. I think she'll be great! I can't wait until she starts on Tuesday and things start getting done a little faster- and I get caught up!!!! I have a couple of seamstresses sewing my little sachets at the moment, but I am anticipating the need for more (more sachets and more seamstresses!) take care all- hope you are enjoying your summer!
