the map in a cool way and brought out the beauty of vintage objects in a new recycled way! I
enjoyed talking "shop" with her because there is not much she hasn't tried and she has been
successful at everything. My favorite thing about her is that she is so approachable and genuine
and willing to talk about different ideas....and she started with a garage sale ( now, you got to
love humble beginnings, I can relate to that, how about you?)
Here we are laughing with Ethel as she signs our magazines....
She is a real joy and just as fun as she looks!
A special thanks to her good friend and mine, Margo, who graciously always has her camera handy! Check out her blog to see more about their adventures in Texas!
You're welcome in our neck of the woods anytime Ki!

You know you can't put on a barn sale without ALOT of help and helpers! And we appreciate all their support, help, advice, opinions, cheers, sweat, encouragement, prayers and the list goes on, so we try to plan something fun for all of us to do after the sale! This past sunday was that day! We had such a fun afternoon....we made notecard hankies and learned how to make strawberry freezer jam!
You need some vintage hankies, ribbon, buttons and notecards or recipe cards...
And a very cute helper!
Love ribbon , don't you?
Notecards....
and more!
You fold the pressed and starched napkin/hankie around the notecards, tie with a ribbon and attach with thread your favorite button! I only got a picture of one of them...Wouldn't you love to get one? They make such a perfect little gift! So easy and fun! Thanks Starla for showing us the "how-to's" on these....
Then my sweet mama showed us how to make no - cook Strawberry freezer jam! This has been a family favorite for literally years! ( she just uses the recipe in the sure gel box!)
